|
After years to talking with the state of NH, the Department of Environmental Services has agreed to do a test release on the Winnipesaukee River the weekend of June 9-10. We encourage all paddlers to participate. The more interest there is the more likely the state will be open to future regular releases. This will be on both the upper [class I/II] section and lower [class III] sections. Water release is expected to be high (currently about 2000 cfs) due to the high lake inflow. |

Join us for the 2012 MVP Family Weekend Trip to West Forks, Maine August 10-12. Paddling opportunites on the Dead and Kennebec rivers, . We'll have all the rafts, duckies, and other fun club boats there as well. Most folks are camping at Three Rivers Campground. Kelly has reserved the 2 large group sites at 3 rivers so we should be able to get almost everyone together. This weekend has the to get family members out (in a raft or other inflatable) on the river at a moderate flow; to help people stepping up from class 2 to cl 3 out on a river at a level that allows the experienced boater to have a lot of fun and still not be too intimidating for the paddlers stepping up. |

Bring gloves, bug spray, drinking water, and wear appropriate footwear and clothing for walking in the woods. This is rain or shine, so rain apparel might be needed.
If someone could bring a wheelbarrow, it would be greatly appreciated. George will provide event trash bags, arrange for removal of the collected trash and get us permission to park at Horseshoe Falls if necessary.
If time allows and equipment is provided, we could attempt to remove a tree when we are done.
Meet at the upper put in at 8am-or later. Anyone willing to put any amount of time into this will be appreciated. |

The MVP celebrated the birthdays of Bill Ryan and Joe Wild at our "occasional" monthly meeting. (No actual business was performed; although Jeff did lure the victims to the living room by calling the meeting to order.) Much great food was consumed. Thanks to Brian Glaysher for hosting and providing the BBQ. | Croydon Bill admires the cake | | | | | | | Cake from the kitchen of Cheryl Guyre | |
