Please join us for the third annual Birdsboro climb and clean on September 18-20th. As always, we invite you to join us for a weekend of camping, climbing and clean up. We will set up TR's for new climbers (and even bring them shoes, helmets and harnesses). We will host a community dinner on Saturday night with a raffle and entertainment. All proceeds from the dinner/raffle will be used to maintain the quarry. Don't just climb at Birdsboro, help support Birdsboro. Let's make our quarry safe, clean and accessible to all. Rain date is the following weekend, September 25th
Please let me know if you would like to help plan this event...send me a PM.
Thanks,
Gail

Third Annual Birdsboro Climb and Clean September 19th-20th 2009
Southeastern PA regional climbers will be hosting the first annual “Clean and Climb” at the Old Dyer's Quarry, Rt. 82, Birdsboro PA. Park at Rustic Park, follow the signs to the climbing area. We will be clearing debris, conducting trail maintenance and providing an opportunity for beginning climbers to learn how to climb at our “UCanClimb 2” sites. Beginners of all ages are welcome take advantage of our “UCanClimb 2” stations, fully equipped with safety equipment and instructors.
The event is free and will be held starting at 9AM on September 19th and 20th. (Rain Date is September 26th and 27th) Additionally, Saturday, September 19th at 5:30 PM there will be a community dinner at the pavilion on Hay Creek where we will serve dinner and listen to a lecture/slide show by one for Birsdboro’s early developers, Bob Perna. Further, limited (primitive) camping is available starting Friday night, September 18th.
Our objectives are to teach stewardship-by-example to a younger generation of climbers, enhance relations with land managers and owners, and strengthen the reputation of the local climbing community.
No climbing experience is necessary, only a willingness to meet and work to ensure that our jewel of a sport climbing site will be here tomorrow.

So it is the weekend of September 18th then? The only date noted in the post is the 25th, but that is the "following weekend" rain date, right?
