Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] 2009 PSUBS Convention - Update 26 May 2009
Ray, I'm in.
Also in for Deep Worker or Aquarius
dives.
We can work on finding an excellent
pub.
Has anyone contacted the Maritime Museum (home of
the Ben Franklin) regarding giving a talk to us or visiting the sub/museum
(it's very close to UBC)? UBC/SFU profs in ocean sciences? The
military? RCMP divers? Ocean show at the planetarium?
My opinion: lodging should be close to most of the
events, i.e.: UBC
area . We only have a few days together and driving is
a waste of precious time. Phil's can be a special trip and we'll be
there all day anyway - not much running around as far as I know.
BTW, UBC is WEST of Vancouver, not
south.
Mapquest :
I5 (USA) connects with 99 North (Canada) at the Blaine border
crossing. (Passports required - even by car - after
June/09!!!) Continue 99 Northbound over the Oak St. bridge and take
the second exit (41B - a 270 degree cloverleaf
exit under the bridge) and head West along SW Marine Dr. A beautiful
drive. It ends up at UBC.
BTW, I have a seven person van - I will be offering
rides back and forth (as long as I don't miss events!!)
The ferry costs for Jacques Marc, if he comes in a
car, will be about $125 round-trip. Pay him and buy his lunch. Ask
that he makes his talk relevant to subbers. IMHO, this is a one-shot deal
for most of us - let's not be petty. If we can afford to fly/drive this
far, then dividing his ferry trip among us is nothing, especially with renting a
crane and paying for venues. It really is a rare event and this is our
passion. Let's have him feel welcome!
Potential speakers/sponsors:
Phil, do you know anything about a planned museum
for u/w technology? Ideas for other speakers?
VANCOUVER or BC AREA MEMBERS - GIVE ME AN EMAIL AND
WE CAN BRAINSTORM FOR THE EVENT. Ray & Jon need all the help they can
get.

This convention will be pricy. Crane operations is $150 an hour. Jacques Marc,
President of the Underwater Archaeological Society of BC requested we pay for
his ferry costs round trip from Victoria Island ($65 one way), crane operator
requested lunch and I have yet to figure in food or conference room costs.

are diving. No numbers yet.

must be lighter then that. OR LET ME KNOW NOW. We can get a bigger crane, costs
