Fair point.
I guess I got side ways.
I kinda ment that only about the manuals.

Perhaps we just do this low hanging fruit.
That would be really solid, I think

You are correct.
Photos would get more.
But there is that tradeoff.
In that it shifts more work to be on the people wanting to get rid of stuff.
Rather than on the people receiving.

I do definately hear Nick when he says "Do it a little at a time".
But we've been saying that for as long as I've been at UCC.
It hasn't moved anything fast enough.
Maybe current committee is willing to put in the work to pull it off.
I am hearing ever growing pressure from younger member,
to just throw out everything that is not currently turned on.
(Still a minority I think, but the pressure is building)

I'ld rather Old Guard had our stuff than it get put into off-site storage.
Which committee is currently discussing.

We should (seperately to this discussion),
make that a annual part of camp -- a day trip from the campsite at 
Chidlow to Mundaring.
Viable?
