PRESIDENTS 
REPORT: 
(Comments)		Mr. G. (Geoffrey)
Goode commenting on the report felt that item (e) (re.
Litter campaign
for beach), was not a conservation issue and that he would
prefer to
see
the Society concerned with something else, like the
declining
vegetation
on the foreshore, rather than the Society interesting
itself with the
cosmetic
issue of litter. He also suggested that perhaps the
Society could ask
the
local Council to provide pathways amongst the foreshore
vegetation,
similar
to those provided by Mordialloc Council; this would
prevent people from
tramping on the vegetation. Another suggestion was that
the Society
request
of Council that various weeds be kept under control. 

K. (Kenneth)
Rendell
proposed the
report be received. Seconded J. (John)
Halliday.  Carried

FILM & DISCUSSION:Mr. K. (Kenneth)
Rendell welcomed our Guest Speaker, Mr. Colin Bath, who
was
representing
the Keep Australia Beautiful Council. 

Mr. (Geoffrey)
Goode
moved that
the meeting remain open until after the film so that
there would be an
opportunity to discuss the film and topics brought
forward by the
speaker.
Seconded P. (Paul)
Weir. 

An interesting film was shown by Mr. Bath about the
problems
of litter
and how the K.A.B.C. was tackling these problems. Mr.
Bath also
outlined
the structure of the K.A.B.C. Mr. G. (Geoffrey) Goode
commented that a
litter problem need not exist if the idea of returnable
containers was
introduced. Mr. J. (John) Halliday was in agreement with
this comment.
Mr. Bath very kindly offered his assistance should
B.C.S. wish to
commence
a litter campaign in the Beaumaris area.

 Meeting closed at 10.40 p.m.
