Old Business:
Summer SCUBA trip:
- Pete & Tim went to Minniwanka
- Great vis, but cold water
Misc:
- Dom will be back soon
- Need to get him SCUBA certified ASAP before the lakes harden
New Business:
Winter SCUBA trip:
- Destination has been brought down to the "Inn of Last Resort" in Roatan,
Honduras; or somewhere in Maui.
- Maui has the advantage we can do it real cheap, which is a major factor
for many of us
- Maui dive lodge, including flights, SCUBA, food, etc = ~$2000 CND
- We may be able to do it cheaper
- Ex. 1 week hotel, and air (from expedia) = $800CND
- All we need to do is rent gear and buy food.
- Roatan is cheap (all inclusive = $650US, minus air and gear rental),
but getting there may be expensive (Air Canada = $2500CND, more reasonable
= $1200-$1300CND on local carriers).
- We expect each of us will get ~$500 each from our personal/rover/group
committee funds
- It has been decided that any new members that may join this year
will not get funds from prior years as they did not participate in the fund-raising.
They will get any moneys they earn in their personal accounts and the equivalent
from the rover account.
- Bryan is washing his hands of the planning at this point (candidacy
exam), but he will be very disappointed if we don't have a booking made by
the time he's recovered form the post exam hangover (circa September 24-28th).
