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.
