The October 29 field trip to Roxbury for garnets will be shortened due to the potential for snow in western Connecticut on Saturday. The field trip leader will be there at 9 AM, in case other hardy souls show up, but will only stay for about 1 1/2 hours (to around 10:30). If you have never collected here before, this would give you an orientation to the site, and then you could return at another time.

Our last trip of the season will be Saturday, October 29 to Green’s Farm in Roxbury. A map will be included in the next bulletin. Even if you’ve collected here before, it’s still a great spot. If you’re new to collecting, it’s also a great spot because we always find GARNETS!!

Hope to see you there!

On Saturday, August 20, 2011 we will have a field trip to the Simpson Quarry in Glastonbury, Connecticut. The club has visited Simpson many times before so you can probably find a map in an old bulletin, but if not, and you need one, email Barb or the club website. Meet around 9 AM.

May 21–The Meriden Club is going to the CCC Quarry in Haddam, CT (and Bristol members are welcome to join the trip).

May 28-29–Bob and Judy Schuster will be leading a field trip to our Fonda claims.  Having someone there is a great opportunity to get oriented at the claims and to learn how to look for Herkimer diamonds.  You can go onto the Meriden Club website [LMSCC.org] for directions and information on motels, camping and restaurants in the area. Look under “Fonda Claim”.

June 11–Clark Hill Quarries, East Hampton, CT. Bristol Club trip.
