I could hardly believe it when I heard it rumoured that the cover of the Sydney BushWalker magazine was to be changed and the long-standing illustration originally drawn by Alan Rigby was to be dropped. | I could hardly believe it when I heard it rumoured that the cover of the Sydney BushWalker magazine was to be changed and the long-standing illustration originally drawn by Alan Rigby was to be dropped. | ||

- | Maurie also mentions the use of stoves. You are really safer and more self reliant when you pack a stove. The tribal campfire, in use for many thousands of years, is a wonderful multi-functional tool and just the thing on a cold night. But it's also a wonderful way to denude the surrounding area of vast amounts of dry wood and (over time) deprive existing vegetation of essential recyclable nutrients. | ||

- | I agree that the layout of the articles and news items need to be presented in more of a desktop manner. Since George Mawer took over the editorship the presentation has slowly become more easy to read. I would like to congratulate George in his endeavours as the skills of layout via the computer was something he learnt on the way. Personally now that the technology is cheaper we could do with photographs (professionally printed) of various walking activities and scenery. | + | **1. SBW magazine.**\\ |

However on the way to having the smartest presentation of articles etc. I believe it is important to preserve the identity of the SBW magazine. It is not necessary to smarten up the cover.

Congratulations to the forward thinking sub-committee on their early work towards a great event. As a long standing (walking) member I look forward to participating in all the celebrations. I am somewhat concerned however at the prospect of paying $70 for the dinner. And at an out of town venue as well. Maybe the committee might rethink the amount and the location of the dinner so that people on lower incomes could be included. | Congratulations to the forward thinking sub-committee on their early work towards a great event.
