Hi Everyone...Below are the minutes for the last 
meeting of this season.  Hope all of you have a good 
winter and  look forward to seeing you at our start-
up meeting in the Spring.   The club officers will be 
in contact  over the winter break to plan things for 
the upcoming season and if you have any thoughts or 
suggestions, please let us know.
 
CENTRAL VIRGINIA GOLD PROSPECTORS

MINUTES OF MEETING

OCTOBER 26, 2002


Approximately 25 members were present for the 
meeting. Due to the late arrival of Rod Ingalls, Ned 
Skinner called the meeting to order beginning with a 
moment of silence being observed.

Ned told us about his trip to the gold show in 
Georgia and how much he enjoyed it. Walter Carr also 
was at the show.

Our Vice President then read an email reply he had 
sent to Mike Chenoweth in response to his postings on 
the Tom Ashworth website and it was agreed by those 
present that the reply should be posted to the site.

Next, our re-joining the GPAA was brought up and a 
letter that was received from them was read. Some 
requirements set forth in the letter were discussed 
by Ned with Perry Massie while in Georgia. The 
questions Ned had were resolved between them and it 
looks like things are on track for us to again become 
affiliated with the GPAA.

If your membership is up for renewal or you are 
contemplating joining GPAA or LDMA, please inform 
them that you are a member of Central Virginia Gold 
Prospectors so we can get credit. 

The dredging permit applications were completed and 
will be sent in shortly. Hopefully we will have them 
all back as approved by the time of our first meeting 
next Spring.

The mine safety course is still pending and we will 
keep you informed as to a date for that.

ELECTION OF NEW OFFICERS WAS THEN HELD. 
Unfortunately, there were not too many who indicated 
an willingness to serve in that capacity. The results 
were as follows:

Bob Stowe was re-elected as Treasurer

Sandy Stowe was re-elected as Secretary

Harry McElhone was elected Vice President

Ned Skinner was elected President

Ben Warner will continue as Claims Committee Chairman.

The meeting schedule for next year is being put 
together and will be sent out soon.

Bob Stowe gave the Treasurer's Report.

The meeting was then adjourned and everyone enjoyed 
the good food that was provided which included 
burgers, bbq, baked beans and numerous other dishes 
and desserts. We thank everyone who brought a dish--
they were all great and much enjoyed.
