On Belay!

well hello.

if you haven’t been coming to meetings, you are missing out.  we had 2 people bring in desserts this week, and there were a couple fights during the meeting.  it was an exciting time.

Ryan talked about the Access Fund more..  A trip to Grand Ledge has been planned for 2 weekends from now on Saturday for a climbing day with perhaps some cleanup for Adopt a Crag.  For more details, contact Ryan.

Rocktoberfest is still October 12-14.  We passed around a signup sheet for people interested in going, and it looked like 10-15 people were interested.

We are ordering On Belay shirts soon.  They will be around $10.00.  If you still want to order one, let Ryan know what size and color you want – color choices are brown, tan, forest green, or white (for tie-dying if you are a hippie).

For the record, this is the earliest I have ever sent out the meeting minutes.
Have a great week

late again, i know.

T-shirt prices will be $9.75 for those ordering t-shirts.  Color ideas are tan, brown, or forest green.  Ryan is going to order 35-40 tshirts, so there will be extras to buy if you didn’t order one.

Some ideas for near future…

Joining the American Alpine Club.. they may be willing to contribute $$ if we have an event (such as a climbing competition, or guest speaker, etc)  Check out the website online.

We may want to participate in Adopt a Crag at Grand Ledge sometime this fall – to pick up trash, climb, and have a party afterwards.  More details to come.

Rocktoberfest is the 2nd weekend in Octoberfest at the Red River Gorge.  Contact Dan Koefoed for details.

If you have bouldering designs, bring them to the meetings.

That’s all.

Minutes for Sept. 12 on belay meeting… enjoy.

Our culinary architect finally showed up and brought cookies.  Chelsea brought a casserole.

We decided on a tshirt design – It will have the circle design on the front and the shoes design on the back.  We signed our names on a sheet for sizes for Ryan to order.  If you didn’t get a chance to sign up for one, just let Ryan know what size you want.  He will also order extra shirts to sell.  Call Ryan for more info (usually 3 a.m. is the best time to call).

Gordo will be at the wall this weekend setting up new routes on the wall.  Call Jordan if you want to help or set your own route.

We are considering having club fees this semester since we are becoming an official RSO.  No vote on the amount yet.  As a club, we want to have every member volunteer at the wall at least 1 time a month.  We discussed the idea of getting a free day climb pass for the volunteer or (if they already have a year pass) a friend of the volunteer for each time worked.

Bring bouldering design ideas if you have them.  In the near future we may want to raise money to add onto the bouldering wall.

Thanks!  Hope to see you next week

Gordo will be climbing in Grand Ledge that same day.  Contact him for info.
Dan and Jon will be attending Rocktoberfest at the Red River Gorge in October.

That was pretty much it.  Hope to see you all (well, most of you) at the meeting this week.
