UPCOMING TRIPS
-----------------------------------------------------------

EASTER WEEKEND TRIP

Yep, it’s a 4 day weekend. Richard So is soliciting interested parties for a trip out of town in search of dry rock. Never too early to plan a trip; as usual, watch the message board for what develops.

SEA KAYAKING

There are paddlers and would-be paddlers attempting to organize some water time. I was going to summarize their discussion from the message board but then I got a headache trying to sort the thing out. So if you’re interested, go have a look.

VOC JOURNAL SUBMISSIONS

Thanks to all those who answered Steve’s and Boris’ pleas for articles! The situation is not as grim but we’re still short ~20 articles. Send them to stevebegin@gmail.com. The final deadline for submissions is this Friday, March 4. That’s it. No more extenstions.
SO WRITE! DO IT NOW! PRETEND IT’S THE LAST FIVE MINUTES OF AN EXAM!


END OF YEAR BANQUET

The annual VOC banquet will take place in the next few weeks! It’s a chance to see people you haven’t seen since September’s Longhike and also to celebrate the VOC year that was. Updates on the location and other specifics will be published in upcoming VOCenes.

Squamish overnighter
by Richard So

Squamish was good. We climbed at the Malamute for most of the day, which wasn't very busy. We made a mistake later of going to Smoke Bluffs, which was very crowded.

MOUNTAINEERING COURSE IN ARGENTINA (JULY 20 - AUGUST 9)

I received an email about a “Summer in the Snow” program offered by a company in Argentina. Is that your cup of tea? Got $1900 US to spare? See their website www.companiadeguias.com.ar for details.
