Tailgate and Future of the Club Discussion

It was a nice day at Pine Park in Keremeos Sunday - many members increased their collection with sale tables from Morley, the Club, and a great selection of spectacular product by Rob and Eileen.

The consensus of the group was go keep the group going with a focus on field trips, and meetings coinciding with fun activities. Only one club member put his name forward to be a director. A group of the tired regulars agreed to help organize some upcoming events, and reach out to prospective new members.

Some members entered the river after the gathering.

Info will be coming on a proposed agate in Osoyoos Lake gathering Sept 11th, and a possible camping/day trip in the Princeton area at the end of September.

KVR Princeton to Brookmere by Bike | Assessing the Damage (BC, Similkameen)

I didn't watch the whole thing, but you can sure see how much devastation there is on the trail starting at the bridge over the Tulameen.

Tick Repellent

Last year I read that spraying one's boots with Listerine was a good tick repellent. Today I read that Rosemary is good for Ticks, and basil for mosquitos. Next outing in tick country just might have Rosemary twigs taped around my ankles!

Rendezvous 2022 Coombs

Five club members attended Rendezvous in Coombs. Three members attended the BCLS AGM.

Lot of photos below - I may add more words as I have time. Great event.

BCLS Rendezvous Coombs Part 6

Event was great, weather was a little on the wet side, lots of interesting rock - thanks to the Rendezvous 2022 team.

Several good workshops including this one making stone bowls.
