PBSS Meeting notes from 08 September 09
The meeting opened at 7 pm (1900) exactly. Attending were Bill Bentley, Walter Feaster, Tony Abernathy, Kel and Jacqui Thomas, and Patrick Ray. The treasurer reported that we have $631.44. This includes a renewal, and dues from new member Chris Dizon.
We had a report on the Southwest Regional, which was held in New Mexico near Pinon. No luck finding the still lost Pinon Cave.
Under new business: PBSS banner-the two sections of our current one are de-laminating. After discussion, we decided that Bill will look into a remake, the design will be changed slightly to keep it from becoming wide enough to need laminating, and if it will cost under $100 he should order one.
Most of the meeting was taken up with trip talk. Jacqui caught everybody up on details of the Deep/Punkin Preserve trip and will send directions to everyone attending. So far this is Bill, Walter, Kerry, Tony, Patrick, Herman, Dustin (and as many as three other DIRT people), Jacqui and Kel. We will all be responsible for our own food as we decided that eating expedition-style required more planning and organizing than we wanted to engage in.
Five Mouth: dig the 2nd weekend in October. Because we need a longer bucket line we have invited people from the Dallas-Fort Worth grotto. So far, Charles Goldsmith plans to come down for the weekend and he will remind the DFW folks that we are hoping for more of them to join us. The Peermans from Mesilla Grotto may also join us.
TCR: that next weekend (of October 17th) at Paridise Canyon near Lake Medina (same place as last two years). We have had a few questions about what the Saturday menu will be; if it is comprised of "Austin Frou-frou Food" we can bring stuff for Saturday dinner.
Carlsbad rock haul: 2nd weekend in November-the weekend of the 14th. The Park does not have a dump truck driver available that weekend and has asked if we have a member with a Commercial Drivers License. We do not but we are looking for one and there is still time to find someone.
And all this happened between 1900 and 2004, when the meeting was closed with the catsup-holding gavel.
