Welcome Back / Important Stuff !

From Jason:

Hello and welcome back climbers!

I hope that everyone has had an awesome summer full of climbing and adventuring. 

As the new school year approaches, we have to make some decisions regarding our club. The chartering period for the new year ends on October 5th. This means that before then, we need to hold officer nominations/elections, and whoever gets elected needs to complete online training. But before we do that, we need to be sure that this is something we ALL want to continue doing.

Last school year was fairly unsuccessful in terms of goals made vs. goals met. Our officer team (myself included) dropped the ball and were not the superstars that we could have been. We need people who are passionate about this club and excelling the climbing community here in San Luis Obispo, but most importantly, we need people who can put in the time.

The positions we need to fill are President, Treasurer, and Advisor. We can add more officer positions later if we feel the need.

After three years of being the President of this club, I regrettably will not be up for nomination this year, although I am excited to help behind the scenes if possible.

Everyone please get the word out that we need nominations. Feel free to nominate yourself. For the time being let's just focus on the two student positions (President and Treasurer). Please send your nominations/questions/comments to me at jason21morgan AT gmail DOT com. 

-Your retiring President.

URGENT: Competition at Sacramento State!

Hey everyone!

I hope everyone had a refreshing spring break and a great first week back at school! 

Sorry for the extremely short notice, but I realized yesterday that we have a comp this weekend! Get stoked!

The comp is at Sacramento State University, and they have a really nice gym, (think new Rec Center). Because I was busy trying to crash classes and stuff, I accidentally overlooked this comp. Now we have to do a rushed approval through the school.

SO, if you want to compete in Sacramento this weekend let me know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! I have to have all our paperwork turned in by Noon, today. I'll be on campus and I'll have my phone on me. Give me a call or text with your name and stating that you are definitely going. My number is (eight-five-eight)-nine-six-four-eight-six-nine-six.

For those of you who have already filled out the paperwork at our form-signing party a few weeks ago, this will be super easy, as I already have all your paperwork. If you haven't filled out the paperwork then go here: http://www.asi.calpoly.edu/clubforms and fill out Student Travel Emergency Information card (CT-3) and the Release of Liability form underneath the heading "each member attending must complete:".

Again, I am so so sorry for dealing with this so last minute, but if we can get through the chaos of today than it should be a fun weekend as always!

-Jason

...form signing party!!

Hello and happy Tuesday climbers!

In case you haven't seen a competitor from this last weekend, Sonoma was a blast. There were a lot of people and a lot of really fun climbs. Our very own vice president extraordinaire, Alex Biale, took first place overall!

We are having our general meeting in the usual place and time this week, building 22 room 211, 11am on Thursday.

This week's meeting is going to be a little different, and a lot more productive. Read carefully, this stuff is important.

If you want to travel with the Cal Poly Climbers this year, you MUST
attend Thursday's meeting. We will be filling out travel forms so that
we don't have to scramble to collect each time we leave town. Even if
you are unsure about traveling, come and fill out the forms. This way
you will have the option to travel to competitions and other events,
but aren't committed to anything.

Make sure you bring the following:

-Health Insurance card if you have it
-Emergency contact info
-Photocopy of your drivers license
-Cal Poly ID number found on your portal
-A Pen
-A friend
-A smile!

You don't need to bring the forms, we'll have them printed out
already. This applies to EVERYONE, including those of you that just
did this. And seriously, even if you are totally unsure about
competing, come and fill out the forms so that you have the option.

Also, if you can't make it to Thursday's meeting, let Jason know (jason21morgan AT gmail . com), and he will get them to you. Happy climbing!

Sonoma Wrap-Up

This weekend the Cal Poly Climbers traveled up to Sonoma State University for the first competition of the 2012 Collegiate Climbing Series season.  Seven club members made the trek up north.  We enjoyed a delicious pre-competition breakfast, which was lovingly prepared by Alex's parents.  Thanks so much!  The competition was packed with climbers from many schools all over California and Nevada in attendance.  We all had a great time trying the new problems that were set for the competition.  After all was said and done, our very own Alex walked away with 1st place in the men's division.  Great job everyone!  We look forward to seeing everyone this coming Saturday, March 3 at SLO Op for an AMAZING competition!  Pre-register here to make sure you get a t-shirt.  See you on Saturday! 

Tired after a full day of CRUSHING!

A little washed out, but a great looking team nonetheless

Don't forget to take care of your skin!

First Competition!

Hello and happy Friday climbers!

Our first CCS competition is quickly approaching, next Saturday. If
you want to compete, you MUST fill out the forms below and get them to
an officer by TUESDAY!  You must print and complete the two forms
under the section titled "each member attending must complete:"

http://www.asi.calpoly.edu/clubforms

Also if you have a car and would be willing to help with carpools,
please send CPC President, Jason Morgan, an email (jason21morgan@gmail.com) and also fill out the driver forms.

This is super exciting! Tell your friends, get them stoked! Sonoma will be a great comp : )
