Subject: What happened at the last meeting (09/01/2004)


* Gave introduction on the club and what we do
* Talked about upcoming trips:
  * There will be a small trip to Barton's Cave Thursday (Sep 2nd). We'll
    meet inside the rec center near the tables/big screen TV around 5:45PM.
    You do not need a card to access this part of the rec center.  We'll
    leave around 6PM. The cave is about 35-40 minutes north of
    Morgantown. We should be back in Morgantown by 12PM.
  * Beginner's weekend #1 will be the weekend of September 10th-12th.
    We will camp in the Elkins area and have several cave trips planned.
    The website http://www.caves.org/grotto/wvusg/calendar/begweekend/
    has more information about this trip. Basically it will cost you $10
    for the weekend. We have a special of $20 that will pay membership for
    the club and cover the cost of the weekend (normal membership is $15).
    We're also going to have a cookout Saturday evening. We can arrange for
    rides if it is needed. 
* If you are coming on a trip with us, there is a Gear List link on the main
  WVU Student Grotto website (http://www.wvusg.org). There is a downloadable
  checklist available on that webpage.
* I gave a slide show (113 pictures) of several trips this past year. Rich
  showed a funny video that he made of several non-caving activites.

We will have our meetings every Wednesday night at the Rec Center
conference room at 8PM. I hope to see everyone there.

Also, someone left their keys in the room. I waited after the meeting for about
15 minutes to see if anyone would show up. I left the keys at the front desk
of the rec center.
