CENTRAL VIRGINIA GOLD PROSPECTORS

THE NEXT MEETING will be on February 17, 2007 at 10AM.

Due to the predicted low temperatures we thought it best to have the meeting inside with 
some heat and AFTER the business part of the meeting, we will proceed to the Buckingham 
Property No. 1 for the scheduled workday.  After the workday Hot Homemade Stew will be 
served.  If you have a chainsaw, it would be helpful and make work easier if you could 
bring it along.
 
We will meet at 10 AM at Teresa's Place (Restaurant).  The restaurant is on Highway 15 
South at Dillwyn.  More specifically it is approximately 1/4 mile north of Route 60 
(Sprouse's Corner) on Route 15.  They will be serving a breakfast buffet and hot coffee.  
 

This meeting will be short and a workday for the land use people will be held immediately 
after.  The meeting will go on regardless of the weather.  After the work is done, food 
will be served. The Booker Hunt Club members (we share some of the leased property with 
them) will be helping with the clean-up and then join us for the food afterwards.  Please 
show your support of the club and come to this meeting.


REPORT ON  JANUARY 20, 2007 MEETING


January 20th meeting report:

The meeting was called to order and Ben welcomed everyone.    We started the New Year off 
in a big way—this is the largest number of attendees ever, except for events at the 
leased property in Buckingham.  There were approximately  60 members and guests present.

 

Ben announced that we have a new webpage for the club.  The address is 
www.centralvirginiagoldprospectors.com    This is in addition to our original webpage at 
www.infiltec.com/cvgp

 

There are lots of club pictures, videos and information on this new site.  Take a look.  
The claims section is viewable only to Land Use Members.  There is a password to enter 
this part of the website. The information on the site will constantly be changing so be 
sure and check back often.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Even though we have not mentioned the dredging issue recently in the newsletters, we want 
you to know that the issue is still of utmost importance and  that good progress is being 
made.  A full report will be given soon—just be patient for a little while longer—it has 
been a long road but the end is in sight.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Outings for upcoming season:  We are contemplating something for every other month.  If 
you have any suggestions on things we can do—such as a  common dig or whatever let us 
know.  These outings would include food provided and a short meeting.  These times are 
ideal to bring the whole family—kids are always welcome !!

 

 

Sign-up  for the leased properties will be at the March meeting.    At the February 
meeting we will be discussing and finalizing all the rules and 
requirements                                             for the new season.  This will 
be a very important meeting so please make the extra effort to attend.

 

 

A proposal was made to send Ben and Kathy to  the 2007 GPAA Chapter Officers’ & State 
Directors’Rendevouz.  This is being held February 5-9 at the LDMA Stanton Camp in 
Arizona. There was a discussion on this,  A motion was made and seconded.  A vote was 
taken—Ben and Kathy are on their way.  

 

There will be GPAA outings at Vein  Mountain  March 7,8 , 9 and 10 AND May 2,3,4,5, and 
6.  Check the GPAA magazine for further information about these outings if you are 
interested. Goldvein Jubilee date has been moved to 8th of September.  

 

At the February meeting we will be handing out forms regarding the leased properties 2 
through 7.  We are going to need your input as to what you think of these sites so we can 
make a decision about what to continue leasing when the lease comes up for renewal in 
August.

 

The drawing for the nugget was held.  There was also a drawing for a gold nugget as a 
door prize.

 

After the meeting was adjourned, Sam Seay gave a demonstration on classifying your 
material at the creek.

 

We look forward to seeing everyone at the February 17th meeting in Buckingham.
