Conan was over for a grotto session the other night and i got a peek at it.
It looks AWESOME!!! I'm sure that my membership ran out but if there are any left i'll definetely renew to get one. I'd rather hang that on my wall than anything i've seen in the stores.

Strong work Conan. I'm sure i speak for many climbers here when i say thanks for doing this. I've already started setting aside pictures for next years calander.

Yeah, Collin and I picked our calendar up this weekend. It's AWESOME. We were both super impressed!!!
You did such a good job Conan!!!
And I agree - I'd choose the CNS calendar for the wall over any others!

Mitt, Conan is going to leave my calender over at Ground Zero. You could pick yours up there or I could pick it up for you.... I haven't seen you in a while but I imagine you are working at Stad somewhere??
The calender is awesome!!! Nice job Conan!

Kewl.. Thanks guys..

I'm alittle behind because the persons who were looking after the membership list's weren't corresponding and the list was all "effed" up. So I had to put everything together ( pain in the ass ). I've taken over the responsibility of looking after the memberships, cards and what not. This week I'll be mailing out all new membership cards to every members ( don't know who has one and who dosen't ) as well as the calendar. At first glance we had over 130 members and only 80 calenders. But after talking to Keith, ben, and teth it looks like we have just under 60 Nova Scotia members 6 New Brunswick, One newfie and a few more from USA and Ontario. Due to the lack of calendars, Nova Scotia members will come first, than New Brunswick members, and a newf or two. If there are any left for sale they won't last long.

If you are not a member ( mitt, todd, & sean cassidy ) hit the cns web site, register so you can log in, than pay online with credit card or debit through paypal. A individual membership for 2 years is only 20 bucks, family membership is 25 bucks. If you just want a calender that will cost you 25 bucks.

Thanks for the pat on the back guys.. I wish it was more fun to make, but I guess thats just how things work.

If you want to start emailing me your pictures for 2008's calender ( that is if the board votes to do another ) send it to conanbaker(at)gmail(dot)com.

Thanks again.

Yeah, I can only imagine how much work that must have been to put it together, but I think it should be a yearly thing too. I won't be in NS for next year's calendar, but I'd be willing to help out as much as I could!

Thanks for the hard work Conan. I haven't seen the calendar yet, but I appreciate the fact that you put this all together. I'll be sure to set aside shots for next year.

I have not even seen the calendar yet, which calls for an emoticon: :(

I did however read through a great deal of flack flung Conan’s way over the production of the calender, but as with most things, CNS members will have the last word on this, and I expect it will be favourable.

I guess Conan is learning the first rule of being a CNS board member: Anything worth doing will get you flower on by someone, but if it is the right thing and you stick with it, the members will have the final say. It is good to see that public opinion seems so positive. If this calendar makes a CNS membership seem worth while, and leads to increased membership, then it will be one of the most successful projects CNS has done in a while. Props to Conan for putting in the effort, and dealing with the flack, to bring the members something worth having.

As for Sean T’s suggestions, if CNS made a calender with all “hot chicks”, then they would also have to make a calender for the female members of CNS. Two calenders would mean smaller print runs and large production costs. Probably more cost effective to just make one calender and mix it up a little. However, if they do choose to go that way, I have an old photo of me climbing shirtless in a snowstorm I could donate for the second calender.

now the Teth,

why would CNS "need to make another calendar"? I, for one, would buy a calendar featuring hot climbing chicks, and I am sure that other climbing betties would also. as a female climber, I am inspired by seeing other women pulling down! why would you automatically assume that women would want to see a calendar full of hot guys?

what do the rest of you ladies out there think?

:lol: kate

ps. Teth, please post the photo that you speak of...

I got a calender for Nathan for xmas - Women of Climbing. Why did I choose that one? The shots were way better than the other options. While looking at strong women is cool I have no intrest in hanging it on my wall is the shoots are no good.

Well, I stand corrected! Here I thought making a calender featuring only “Hot Chicks” would be sexist and rude, unless both genders got equal treatment. But, if the women want a calender of “Hot Chicks” too, well I guess I am just a senile throwback to the politically correct 90's.

I would definately be down with pictures of hot chicks climbing hard. Like Kate said, it's an inspiration. Climbing with other girls makes me want to work that much harder to keep up, whereas I feel I can't always "compete" with some of the guys I climb with, so I don't try as hard.

So yes, I would be just as happy with a girlie calendar. :D

I for one, do not want to put a calendar of HOT MEN together. Some people might get offended when they see its all shots of ME!

hhaha :P

Calender sounds awesome - any chance we could see an online preview for us non-maratime, non-CNS members?

On the Fence

Postby Webslinger » Fri Jan 26, 2007 10:59 am

Mitt, Mitt, Mitt, (said in a disappointed voice followed by a sigh)

Don't make me pull out the AGM video tape. You promised that as long as CNS had an Access Fund, that you'd support them by being a member, because that was most important.

Sit on the Fence because you get a better veiw.

Hope you doing well and we'll see you on the rock again some day.
Cheers,

Chris Hayes

LOL, I have been caught. I am back to being a member in full standing, Love the idea of the calender. Also am very happy that we have the access fund. Life is pretty good I must admit, now if I could just find the time to climb :(

We have to climb this year :)

I"m still working on the membership list. Most of the phone numbers aren't correct, so I can't confirm the addresses. I need people to send me there current address so I'm not sending out calendars to places where no member's reside.
