 General business saw an appeal for an archivist with knowledge of preservation and archiving techniques to improve and control the club's archival materials.  Any volunteers out there?

-Thanks to the scores of members who have contributed to the Winter Walks Program.  Thanks also to Tony Marshall who provided ideas and advice and who was responsible for finally putting it all together.  We have, for most weeks, followed the successful pattern of recent programs of having three day trips and one mid-week walk.  There are as usual for winter, plenty of ski trips to choose from.  Lets hope snow conditions are suitable.

 Change for August l9:- THE KOKODA TRACK instead of the SOUTH POLE.  Instead of a video of an unsupported expedition to the South Pole, Morie Ward will present slides of his recent walk with other Club members along the famous Kokoda Track in New Guinea - unsupported by ‘fuzzy wuzzy angels’.  Few have seen the Kokoda Track in recent years, while the Antarctic is getting familiar by now from many fine slide shows and professional documentaries.

 Gordon always looked after everybody's welfare as well as the organisation of all our trips as only he could do.   His priority was always the welfare of his mates.  His films of our trips are held at the State Library in their archives.  Gordon made a pioneering journey down the Snowy River together with Hughie Bignold, John Ekins, Jack Kennedy (decd.), George King and Stan Shenstone all of the River Canoe Club.  Of late he had been working untiringly towards getting more water released into the Snowy River before privatisation of the Snowy River Scheme.  This had been documented on TV recently, and had shown some of Gordon's archival film of the previous glory of this river.  Gordon died on 29 March 1998 and will be sadly missed.  He leaves behind his wife Fae.  I am not sure of his age but I think he was 76 years.

 A new steel barbeque near the hut at Coolana is now in place.  No doubt it has been used already. The maintenance program of mowing, weeding, burning, clearing, and planting continues.  Natural regeneration of trees has continued (as opposed to our planting of tube stock, etc.) and we look forward to a bumper crop of native trees.  The river flats of Coolana look beautiful and are a delightful place to camp on.
-Our supply of gardening tool still is rather skimpy and we could use any number of cast-offs.  The burning-off season has been opened and the fallen timber can be burnt and the land cleared.  All are welcome to the Coolana maintenance weekends: for details see the Walks Program.  If you wish you can contact one of the Coolana team to either join or lead a maintenance weekend.

 At Coolana there's plenty of parking, a shed to sleep in if you don't want to use a tent, a fire or barbeque to cook on and other people to talk to at meal times and around the fire at night.  Really an easy bushwalk with a purpose.
