[Texascavers] Bexar Grotto program announcement...
At tomorrow's Bexar Grotto meeting, Alan Montemayor will be presenting slides of his recent trip, where he and his wife Cheryl Hamilton spent 49 days in South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana, and Namibia.

A good time will be had by all in attendance...the Bexar Grotto meets at Chester's Hamburgers (NW corner of Hwy 281 and Thousand Oaks Dr) at 7:00 pm on the second and fourth Monday of each month. -Tom

[Texascavers] Bexar Grotto Program Announcement
The International Congress of Speleology (ICS) happens only once every four years. It is an incredible opportunity for cavers and cave scientists from around the world to meet and share what are often fantastic discoveries. In many ways, the ICS is like an NSS Convention - but on steroids! And the next one is coming to Kerrville, Texas in July 2009. During Monday's Bexar Grotto meeting I will give a presentation that describes the ICS, plus the many things that need to be done to prepare for it. Cavers from around the country are actively working on it, but Texas cavers will be especially needed for many on-site tasks that only Texas cavers can do. Come and get psyched about the ICS and learn how you can help host the most significant caving event to hit the Western Hemisphere. On November 30th I will give a similar program for the UT Grotto. Lots of things are happening on the ICS and updates will be included. While it isn't practical for me to travel to meet every grotto, I will provide another updated version of the program for the TSA Convention in the Spring (depending on the convention date, I may be out of town). For anyone wanting more information about the ICS, visit and bookmark www.isc2009.us and look for some major updates in the coming months. George * Bexar Grotto meetings are the second and fourth Monday of every month at Chester's Hamburgers, 16609 San Pedro (US 281 and Thousand Oaks). The meeting starts at 7:00 pm.
