Food for the banquet
Execs will bring a main course that feeds approx. 10 hungry students to the banquet. Hopefully with a dessert potluck, everybody will be fed.
Write down the dish that you will bring, if it needs to be heated (ie. with a hot plate), and if its vegetarian.
Example:
- Dirtbag climber: cat food, doesn't need heating, not vegetarian
Hopefully everybody will be creative enough in their dishes, and not have to bring cat food.
- Sandra: large quinoa salad, served cold, vegetarian
- Sandra: something in a crock pot, served warm, vegetarian
- Richard: sticky rice, in a crock pot *rice! c'mon richard!*
- Christian C.: Black Beam Salad (back by popular demand)
- Ben SP Veggie Quiche
- Kaja/Duncan: Curry, in a crock pot, vegetarian
- Lisa B: nothing as menacing as "black beam" salad - is that like Darth Vader's powerlunch?? (ba dum, CHHK) - but i was thinking a big salad (vegitarian, may contain tofu - watch out, meat eaters) and some Irish Soda bread, if i'm feeling ambitious
- Bram: couscous salad (i.e. cold)
- Fuller: perhaps homemade pizza. Or maybe I'll get creative and make another salad!
- Piotr: Pierogi -can be veggie- and some bigos- sourkraut Polish style, NON-veggie...more or less. Need crockpot(sandra) and heater plate thingy(fuller)...
- Andrew: Fetticini Chicken Alfredo, I could also use a crock pot or hot plate

Past Gearswaps
MEC Spring Gear Swap Sunday, April 30, 10:30am – 1:30pm As per usual, some of us will be camping out for the swap the night before. We have somewhere between $500-$900 to spend (sorting out exact number currently).
Gear Needed:
- Avalanche tranceivers (really really needed)
- Snow Shoes
- Plastic Tele Boots
- Skins (if cheap and not too de-glued)
- Shovels (if cheap - metal only)
Gear NOT Needed (unless really really cheap): It has been pointed out in the past that the club has bought some items simply because they were cheap, and they were not needed at all and thus were useless. The following are ALWAYS needed, and should be purchased if are a good buy.
- Harnesses (ajustable only!)
- Climbing shoes (more average sizes - 7 to 11)
- Helmets
- Ice Axes
- Crampons
Gear Swap Hike at Mec Oct 2nd 2004 Gear Needed:
- Harnesses
- Avalanche tranceivers (need numerical, easy to use, for dummies).
- Rock climbing shoes (if cheap, we have a lot of small sizes, need bigger).
- Tele boots (want to replace old leather boots by nice plastic ones)
- Tele skis (we have 14 pairs, some of them need bindings, need someone who can fix them)
- Skins (always need replacing)
- Snow shoes (plastic snow shoes would be good, we have 2 pairs of aluminium one, good for flat but not for steep)
Suppose we had $1k to spend. We could do something like this:
- Harnesses 4 x $50, one size fits all, = $200
- Avalanche tranceivers 1 cheapest old dumb one, used = $100.
- Rock climbing shoes 4 pr, largeish,@$50 = $200.
- Tele boots Two pr plastic tele boots, largeish, not trashed =$200
- Tele skis NIL (we have 14 pairs, some of them need bindings, need someone who can fix them)
- Skins (always need replacing)4 pr @$50 = $200
- Snow shoes plastic, 2 pr @$100 = $200
This comes to $1.1k, but it may be difficult to get prices as good as the above. I think your shopping list is unrealistic. ...Roland
