Wednesday November 23, 7:30 to 9:45 pm --- Fall TCG Meeting
AGENDA:
- Those who want are invited to arrive around 6:30 pm for a pre-meeting supper. The food is good with quite a lot of choice. This supper might wind up being outside the meeting room, but try that room first.
- Annual election of the 7 TCG directors. Come out and vote or run for office! Because Lacey Shay is not standing for re-election, we especially need a new Editor for "The Toronto Caver", so please volunteer for Editor! See the notice below for more information.
- Annual reports from the TCG directors.
- Photos of Breezeway Cave, a beautifully-decorated cave in Colorado.
- The video "Tepuy" will be shown if those present want. This 63-minute video shows an expedition to a remote and rugged part of Venezuela to explore huge caves in quartzite.
- Caving show and tell. (Bring any cave-related digital photos or videos you want to show!)
- Payment of TCG dues. Most TCG memberships expire on October 31 and dues are due in November. If you have not already renewed to 2012 or later, pay at this meeting and save the extra work of mailing in your renewal.
- Borrowing and returning library books. Please bring any books, etc. that you need to return!
- A chance to talk to any trip leaders who are present.
- After the events listed above, all who want will stay in the same room for more refreshments and fellowship.
LOCATION:
- The Frog and Firken pub, 4854 Yonge Street, Toronto. This is on the west side of Yonge, about 1.5 blocks north of Sheppard Avenue and 1.1 km north of the centerline of Highway 401 (exit 369). We will be in the room at the front (east) end of the second floor. The sign above this room's double door reads "DartS".
- To get to the Municipal Parking Lot behind the Frog and Firken, be in the leftmost straight-ahead lane as you drive north across Sheppard. After the island in the middle of Yonge ends, turn left into Harlandale Avenue (about 20 m past the HAKIM OPTICAL sign). About 40 m into Harlandale, turn right into the parking lot. Pay at the one machine near the middle of the lot. It accepts coins and credit cards only, NOT paper money. All night starting at 6:00 pm costs 5.00$. This lot IS patrolled at night, so failing to pay can be expensive. Continue below at From the parking lot.
- By TTC, take the subway to the Sheppard-Yonge station and ascend the stairs at the north end of the platform on the Yonge line. Then follow the ceiling signs to "Harlandale Avenue" and continue straight ahead across the street into the parking lot beyond.
- From the parking lot go into the wooden balcony structure under signs that say "THE FROG". Enter the door with a handle, go up the stairs, zig-zag around the barrier at the top, and continue in the same direction to the room signed "DartS".
Sunday November 27 --- Beginners Trip to Niagara Escarpment Caves
This is an introductory trip to several small caves near Toronto. Everyone is welcome. For more information, or to sign up, contact Peter Todd at 647-219-5252 or "pete@petertodd.ca".

If you can volunteer to lead a trip or other event during February to early May, please contact Erik Dokic (the Activities Director) at 647-968-2357 or (edokic@gmail.com).
Tuesday January 24 @ 7:30 pm --- Basic Knots Workshop
A practical session on tying knots commonly used in caving. Practice ropes will be provided, so you do not have to bring anything but yourself. This workshop has a limit of 8 people. For more information, or to sign up, phone Kirk MacGregor at 647-892-5240.
