Hi to all,

 
Well we had a good turnout on Sunday and started getting the track in riding form.  A couple of kids have got a head start and tried out a couple of the obstacles and say they are pumped dot get on the whole track, but.......this weekend we will need a LOT of people out with rakes and shovels in order to get the track done in time for season opener.  We will be spending this week placing our topping around the track getting ready to smooth it out.  In talking to John Cools on Sunday before he left to go home he feels that if we get enough people out on Saturday to get the raking and smoothing done, the kids should be able to ride parts of the track on Sunday.  This will also help to pack the track down.  We will be getting a packer in this weekend to go over the track and I hope to spend the entire weekend rolling the track.  We are also in need of a couple of experienced bobcat operators to speed things up a bit when it comes to back blading and shaping and stuff.
 
The main crew that has been working on the track has done phenomenal work getting the track to this point but they are going racing on the long weekend so we need to push this weekend.  Also, John Cools will be leaving to join Samantha in China sometime this month so we will lose him too!  When all is said and done, we need to have the track pretty much finished this weekend or this years beginners clinic and start up may be delayed.
 
Bring out your own garden rakes when you come.  We have about 8 at the track but we need to have about 30 people out there this weekend to get it done.  There will be a few other jobs to do this weekend other than track but that will be up to the people in charge of those areas such as, registration, concession, moto shed director.  The garden will need weeding, tables placed and general cleanup but the focus will be on track.
 
So I hope to see a lot of you out this weekend.  I will have forms and racing info available at the track.

Hi to all,
 
The excitement is beginning to build!!!!!!!!!!
 
Sunday May 4, we would like to invite as many people out to help with the raking and shaping of the new track.  Brad, Keith and John Cools have done a tremendous amount of work today, (Saturday May 3) and we will be laying down our sifted topping ready to be shaped.  A packer will be rented next weekend to do the finishing and John suggests that we even start spraying the topping on.  Which means that if we get enough people out tomorrow and next weekend, we could be riding by the long weekend.  The track should be in by the end of tomorrow and ready for finishing next weekend.  Bring a rake with you if you're coming just in case there's not enough to go around, (I hope).
 
See you out there around noon on Sunday!!!!!!!!!
 
Glen
Hi to all,
 
This weekend, May 3 and 4 we will be finishing up the major part of the dirt moving so on Sunday we will be needing lots of hands to start raking and rock picking and smoothing the parts of the track that will be ready to be groomed.  We also need an electrician down at the track to do a couple of minor wiring fixes.  If you can help out with the electrical, let me know in case we need some supplies so I can arrange to have them there for the weekend.  We are also looking for the people that helped out with the fence the last time we did some.  We need to be putting fence up again and have to figure out supplies.  I will be at a bingo on Saturday afternoon but I will have a sign up sheet at the track.  Be sure to sign in and out to get credit for your volunteer hours.  I will also try to get a list together of what needs to be done.
 
See you all soon.
 
Glen
Hi to all,
 
It is that time of year again when we call the first official work bee for Saturday and Sunday April 12 and 13.  We will have a lot of equipment moving around down there so we are asking that this first weekend be for parents and older riders only.  Various duties will include,
 
Rock picking
root pulling
leveling the start gate
leveling the top end of staging
building and leveling the starters area
general grounds clean up
concession clean up and re-stocking
general moto shed clean up
possible shelf build in moto shed
manual labor on and around the track during building
 
We will be down there at around 11:00 AM both days.  Attendance at any work bee does count toward your 15 hours volunteer time.  Come out and see the new track take shape and be a part of the excitement.  For anyone who has not registered for 2008, all forms and information will be available.
 
Glen

See Photo page for pictures of the progress of rebuilding of the new track

There will be at least one more Camp Cools in Morley. This coming Saturday (March 8th) Ken will be holding a Camp Cools at the Morley Indoor. Airdrie BMX is footing the bill for this one so if you're a member of the Airdrie club then this clinic is free. Regular fees apply to all other riders ($20 for coaching or $25 for coaching + open track). Coaching begins at 10:00am with open track starting around noon and lasting until 3:00 or thereabouts

Hi to all,

 
Brad Milligan has asked if anyone has contacts with the concrete/building industry.  What he is looking for is about 30 to 45 of the concrete Lego blocks that we can use for building corners.  I am guessing this would be similar to what Cochrane bmx has done.  We would like to have them donated if at all possible.  With that donation we would welcome the donors business to be advertised on the blocks as much as they please to do.  Stenciling their corporate info or hopefully a real nice color picture of some kind.  We could even put their signs in the corners and name the corners for a major race for their donation, like calling the first corner the Inland Concrete corner, or something like that.
 
If anyone can help, get in touch with either myself or with Brad at rrbm34@telus.net
 
Thanks to all
 
Glen

2008 1st Provincial Race Info

click on the thumbnail for information on the 1st 2008 Provincial Race in Morley

This info is from Ken Cools

The first provincial race weekend of the year will be upon us in a few weekends. There will be no race held on the Saturday, rather just an open day for practice. I will be holding a training camp on the afternoon of this Saturday (Feb 16th) from 4:00pm to 7:00pm for a cost of $30 per rider. This will be the last opportunity to receive top end coaching on the track that we will be racing on, and this track is pretty technical.
 
I will have around 8 trainers who will be helping me with this camp so we will be splitting the group into 2. Allowing for the most amount of track time for the kids, and thus getting the best results. Like always the camp is open to all ages and skill levels and every level will be addressed.
 
For more info please contact me at kencools@shaw.ca or feel free to call me at 403-829-7561.

We will be having our first general members meeting on February 5th, at 7PM at the Red Deer Legion.  It is located on Bremner Avenue by Bower Mall. 

As most of you may have heard, we are resigning from Cannery Row for doing bingos effective March 31, 2008.  Many issues brought about this decision such as the attitude of the hall toward volunteers, lack of communication, policies brought in by the board that we feel are detrimental to the fundraising ability of our group.  The decision that the board at Cannery Row were making were designed to make the business effective and did not take into account the effect these decisions have on the ability for the groups to generate revenue.  We are not the first group to give notice and it sounds like we won't be the last.   We have already talked to the other hall, and we are being welcomed with open arms.  For those who have done bingos at the Red Deer Bingo Center, I think you will agree that it is a more preferable place to volunteer when doing a bingo.
 
Just to re-iterate the new volunteer policy, as a part of your membership we are asking for you to do two bingos per family and volunteer for 15 hours, (Track, concession, work bee, etc.).  We are asking for three retainer cheques of $100.00 each to cover these commitments.  So if you are going to renew at the general meeting you need to bring all this with you.  If you are getting a license for the first time you will need to supply a photo copy of a birth certificate for each rider.
 
If anyone has anything they wish to be discussed please send it to me so I can add it to the agenda.  If you have a motion to make send it also.  It will go on the agenda, be seconded and then discussed and voted on.
 
I hope to see all the familiar faces there and looking forward to seeing new faces also.  Any question, do not hesitate to ask.
 
Everyone on the 2007 members list will be receiving this email.  If you do not plan to renew for 2008 and wish to be taken off my mailing list, please let me know.  Also if you wish to have a different email used, let me know.
