 Another reason for having larger numbers on walks is so that "Sub groups" mentioned by Maurice don't spoil a walk don't spoil a walk for the rest of the group:- especially prospectives. It seems to me that Maurice is trying to split club members into small "sub groups" instead of forcing members to mingle and educate prospectives in all aspects of bushwalking etiquette. Another reason for having larger numbers on walks is so that "Sub groups" mentioned by Maurice don't spoil a walk don't spoil a walk for the rest of the group:- especially prospectives.

-If numbers on walks are limited as suggested by Maurice; I believe we will have more cancellations of walks due to "no shows", prospectives may find it very difficult to get on a programmed walk and walks being booked out before the walks program comes out. This would eventually lead to the slow death of SBW.+If numbers on walks are limited as suggested by Maurice; I believe we will have more cancellations of walks due to "no shows", prospectives may find it very difficult to get on a programmed walk and walks being booked out before the walks programme comes out.

 Conclusions: Yes! We must limit numbers on walks. No! Leaders should not have to appear before the committee for exceeding limits. Numbers on walks should be left to the discretion of the experienced leader who knows what is required for his or her walk. If anything, educate inexperienced leaders. What would happen to classic social walks such as "The K to K" and "The Six Foot Track" and many other extended walks. Conclusions: Yes! We must limit numbers on walks. No!

 Firstly a composting toilet requires no water thereby avoiding the cost of water/sewerage connection. The Clivus operates without any detectable odour, there are no chemicals- involved and few mechanical components to break down. Firstly a composting toilet requires no water thereby avoiding the cost of water/sewerage connection.

-Secondly, all organic Material goes into it - toilet paper, paper towels, grease and fat, leaves and sawdust - these aid the decomposition process by lightening the composting pile to allow air penetration, and by supplying carbon for organisms in the compost to convert nitrogen and other nutrients to stable forms, and to develop heat to evaporate liquid waste.+Secondly, all organic material goes into it - toilet paper, paper towels, grease and fat, leaves and sawdust - these aid the decomposition process by lightening the composting pile to allow air penetration, and by supplying carbon for organisms in the compost to convert nitrogen and other nutrients to stable forms, and to develop heat to evaporate liquid waste.
