Yes it is!!! Our event is in the morning leading to lunch time area. We got some plans so stay tuned as things come to fruition. What a day, hang out with us early part of the day, have lunch, win a door prize, hear a great speaker in a great park, and then attend Bill's retirement party. I would say put October 27th down as an event reminder on your phone.Quote:

We are having some issues with our eventbrite site,but there is plenty of space. We welcome you, and a PM that you'd like to come would be helpful so we can get a head count for food
We are getting close to the workshop, and look forward to seeing you. We got a great line up of speakers:
Vertical workshop is being performed by Forrest Wilson. This is a chance to experience single rope technique and get an introduction. Some caves require having skills in this area to safely access
History of Sidemount with Bill Rennaker. Bill was a primary figure in developing the current sidemount rig that is sold by many commercial manufactuers. He has an evolution of rigs that he made, and it is fascinating to hear about the early days of sidemounting
Sidemount clinic with Lamar Hires. Lamar who is another part of the equation of developing the modern sidemount rig,and actively leads Dive Rite in developing and creating newer rigs to meet the demands of the modern diver
Surveying is something that used to be taught with a full cave class,but is rarely done, except by exploration teams. Join Adam Hughes, who has actively explored systems, as well surveyed , in learning about this practice, and then techniques involved
Cylinder Maintenance with David Zappala from Advanced Hydrotest. Learn about taking care of your tanks to prolong the life, and what testing procedures are necessary
Decompression Illness discussion by Joe Dituri of Undersea Oxygen Clinic. A joint project was complete between the NFSA and Undersea Oxygen Clinic to provide a phamplet for diver education, and he will give an explanation.
Bring your questions and bring your appetite since lunch will be served. Price is $15 and free to members. Our Evenbrite site went down, but we have pleanty of space. A PM is appreciated so we have an approximate head count
We look forward to seeing you
I will be there!!! Bringing my cameras!
Awesome, look forward to your high quality pictures.Quote:

It was a great turnout, and people seemed to enjoy themselves.
I wish I'd been there. But instead I was at work; my first day back at work after three weeks of cave diving. There was whining.
It was a great day. Weather was wonderful, great speakers, food, swag, and best of all, a great number of attendees
I enjoyed the day! Some good presentations. Weather was perfect. Good to see friends I have not seen in awhile.
