This is the home page of the SECRET history of Shoalhaven Bushwalkers

WHO SHOULD READ THIS WEBSITE
This website will only be of interest to Shoalhaven Bushwalkers members, and maybe only a couple of them, because most Shoalhaven Bushwalkers just want to go bushwalking - they don't want to read this sort of crap! 😀

THE PURPOSE OF THIS WEBSITE
This website tells the story of a fight by the Shoalhaven Bushwalkers Webmaster to preserve the legality, purpose, history, traditions and values of the Shoalhaven Bushwalkers (SBW) club, and of his unsuccessful attempts to educate new committee members (and long time committee members who should have known better) about their lawful and ethical responsibilities, and the folly of almost all committee decisions since 2023, some of which impact the safety of over 200 SBW members.

USEFUL HINT
This history should be read as it happened - sequentially - by choosing the menu options at the top of the page from left to right - "WEBMASTER" then "THE CLUB" then "SAFETY" etc. You can skip the "HOME" menu item on the right - that just gets you back here ... and you can skip "THE WEBMASTER" too if you like! 😀

PHOTOS
Most of the photos scrolling across the top of the main pages show the committee members mentioned in this history. They did not give their permission for the images to be here - it was not sought, and it is not required.

SPOILER ALERT!
The story includes multiple violations of the Shoalhaven Bushwalkers constitution; differences of opinion (as you'd expect); heated exchanges via email and phone; ignorance; lies; deceit; spin; SECRET meetings; SECRET decisions; SECRET minutes; ruined reputations; the abuse of power; unfounded accusations; Double Standards; threats of legal action; and the destruction of friendships.

WHO IS RIGHT?
The Shoalhaven Bushwalkers committee obviously believe that all of their decisions and actions over the past few years have been correct, warranted, ethical, legal within the bounds of the SBW constitution and the restrictions of the NSW Associations Incorporation Act and Regulations, and good for both the club and its members.

You be the judge ...

You could also skip most of the website and just read the

if you like ... 😀

Start the story at THE WEBMASTER or get right into it by going to THE CLUB
