Membership Update: Our club has grown to nearly 100 members and we are thinking this would be a good number to stay at. We do not want to over load the claims. Right now we have a total of 11 claims want to have plenty of room to work. As we add claims we can adjust the membership.
Meetings will remain the second Saturday of the month unless changed for special reasons.
Dues Change: We decided to raise the dues to thirty dollars for next year.
Dues will be due in September of 2012 for the 2012--2013 season. All members, including officers, will have to pay.
We need to build up our bank account to cover claims costs. I am checking into whether we might be able to file small miners exemption to save some money.
Next Meeting: Hope to see you all at the February meeting which will be on the Flatfoot Claim near Dome rock, between the Frontage Road and the freeway. A map is posted. Watch for sign. February Directions
It will be the 10th of February as the drawing will be on the regular meeting day .
Claims Update: The claims we worked for the January outing are part of the claims we had use of last year. We acquired them along with three others. In addition, we filed on two south on Tom Wells Road. We added two claims on back of Margarita Pass--kind of out of the way, but good claims. This will give us a total of 11 claims as soon as all paper work is complete.
The BLM has informed us that Nugget Wranglers #2 was on withdrawn area, we can still hunt there just not have it as a claim. Maps are available that give you a good direction along with GPS corordinates.
