Hi Everyone… I have another big post for this weekend.
First… the newsletter is on its way to your mailbox (virtual or real). But just in case you haven’t received your copy yet, members can download a copy here.
Second… we are no longer using Talk Mail to communicate changes to our members. With the increasing number of people using telephone service providers other than Aliant, Talk Mail is becoming less effective. If you are not subscribed to our website, be sure to contact the event leader to make sure there are no changes.
This weekend the event for Saturday has been canceled. If someone would like to lead an event, maybe the same event at Paunchy Lake, please let me know as soon as possible. Saturday we also have the event in Sussex and the Irishtown Nature Park AGM (for more information see the post on the website here).
Additionally the Dobson Trail has an event scheduled for Saturday:
Finally on Sunday, Ted will be leading a strenuous 14 km hike up Stuart Mountain, meet at the COC at 9:30 am. Contact Ted if you have any questions.
Have a great weekend on the trails… Dave

You will notice a new option, “Guest Book”, in the black menu bar above this post on our new site. If you hover your mouse over it you will also see a sub-menu called “Approved to comment…”. You will see why this sub-menu is important in a minute.
To see updates on hikes or other comments by our members, click on the name Guest Book in the menu bar. You will see the newest comments at the top. You can also reply to a comment by clicking on “Reply” under the comment.
If you try to post a comment or reply, others will not see it until you have at least one approved. This is where the “Approved to comment…” sub-menu comes in. Click on this sub-menu and post a Hello comment (you can see an example there for me). Once one of the site administrators approves your comment you will be free to post new comments in the guest book, and others will be able to see it right away…
One final note, comments in the guest book will not trigger an e-mail, like a post to the main page will. If you need to get an e-mail out in a hurry, give me a call. My number is in the membership list. I will also monitor the guest book and post updates for events on the main page, usually the Thursday before the event.
Lets try it out and see if it suits our needs… If you have any questions or comments please let me know.
