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.

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?
