The time has come to schedule a date in September/October for this Years SGMT.
The event will be held at Bruderheim and the stages are longer than what you have been accustomed to from previous events plus the level of difficulty has been raised a notch or two to challenge the driver and increase the level of excitement for the spectators.
Let me know which date you would prefer and the date that is chosen the most is when the event will be held:
September:
Saturday 26th
Sunday 27th
October:
Saturday 3rd
Sunday 4th
Thank you
Norman
A Saturday date works great for me. Thanksgiving is on the 12th. So, either weekends are good for me.
Saturday 26th (or 27th) is good by me.
Sept 26th would be ideal for me Norm, or the 27th as a second choice. (count me in if it is slated for either of these dates).
The October dates I would not be able to attend.
We are interested in coming up this year for sure. At this point, either weekend is fine.
either date is good for us
Any given .......Saturday.
Bump..... Keeping this at the top as others need to respond. Tx
Either Saturday would be best for me.

Oct 3 ,4 works best. I can lend a hand to set up on that Friday also.
Have a great "Sean Green Memorial Trials". Wish I could be there to share the day with you. Mike Green.
Either weekend looks ok for me.

I'm hoping to make it this year. Gotta get my front shocks done before then.
Norm, do you still have the GPS charts from last time for the courses? Are you planning on doing the set up the day before?
what is the final official date and time for the event?
The date has been confirmed Saturday, September 26th so mark it on your calendar and be prepared for a day of excitement and fun. ;D
More details will be posted shortly

Hello All,
As promised here are the details for the SGMT that will be held on Saturday, Sep 26th
The stages are longer than what you have been accustomed to from previous events and the level of difficulty has been raised a notch or two to challenge the driver and increase the level of excitement for the spectators.
Event General Outline:
08:00: Advance group depart Humpty's in Fort Saskatchewan
08:30: Advance Group begin setting up the stages
09:00: Main party meet at Humpty’s in Fort Saskatchewan
10:00: Main Party departs for Bruderheim
10:30: Drivers briefing at Bruderheim
10:45: SGMT begins
12:00 â€" 13:00: Lunch Break
13:00 â€" 15:30 SGMT
15:30: Awards
Due to the low number of entrants this will be a self catering event (bring your own thermos, edibles, and lunch) and a mix of warm and cold/wet weather clothing as the Mother Nature can be unpredictable at this time of year.
Please let me know if you can be part of the Advance Group.
I can help with the setup Norm
I can lend a hand too Norman. Along with my partner Lydia.

A thread worth reading. It appears that our government, in its infinite idiocy, strikes again...
http://www.na4wda.com/forums/showthread.php?3179-Bruderheim
3 years ago. A PRA that allows ATV use. Weirdness. Maybe best to send rutmaster a direct note.
Good idea, just sent Norm a PM.
I would actually like to get a ticket for this so I could get it into court and validate our usage under the law. The definition of an OHV vehicle, as it applies to 4x4's, does not exclude our vehicles from using the area.
True. Normally they specifically add a limit on weight or width that forces the issue.
I did some calling around today to Alberta Parks and narrowed it down to the Conservation Officer in charge looking after the Bruderheim area. He is based out of the Black Foot Conservation area, West Staging area. It comes down to filling out an event application and getting approval for it. It gives them the info they need to give us permission to use it as this is an event.
As for the area where we have the pond and the sand, that area is private land, not covered by the Alberta Parks.
I am still trying to get hold of the conservation officer and will try to get a copy of the application.
I think its over due that the various clubs involved in this sport start getting together for a meeting to review alliances and hold talks with the powers to be. I liked how the Waraborus trail is laid out...did not use it before that.
At the end of the day, we can all enjoy the land. cheers.
Nice work tracking that down Emad. Whether or not they approve the permit will be interesting. However one thing caught my eye in your comments, and that is the sand dune area is outside the Park. Looking at Google Maps, the Park area is quite small, assuming it is an accurate representation. Based on that, the section we use appears to be outside the Park. So this could be a non-issue.
Map is here: http://www.albertaparks.ca/media/124848/455.pdf What is shown in Google maps is not correct.
I hope Emad is not correct in "we are on private land".... We want to be on public land.

This is all very interesting as I always thought it was a oil and gas lease, where the outfit holding the lease was allowing the access to the land. We've had discussion with the company before and they were quite amiable to us being out there. clear as mud isn't it all!
I drew an outline of the park on the aerial image, attached. Where do we go? I'm guessing the are to the SE of the park.
The area by HWY 830 where the pond is located is a private land according to the Conservation officer. Access and use was not restricted by the owner during last years events in the area. The area where we did our winching clinic may fall under the park range. I am curious to see how this will play out. The current confusion is due tot he lack of legislation that is clear in what is what. I am hoping that we can use this towards more stewardship in the future another trails and access areas.
The area I wrapped in blue is where, I believe, we had our track setup last year. So it appears for the purposes of this event, we are not in the Park area.

Okay. That 1/4 section has no titles registered to it, so should just be regular crown land.
Damned the torpedoes lads! Full steam ahead...... 8)
full steam ahead it is as we are outside of the park boundary ;D
I'll be able to help on advance (so far) if you need assistance still.
Definately as we will need all the help we can get to set up the stages
Only 6 days to go before you can show off your driving prowess and take home the coveted SGMT Trophy
Well. I hope to see some serious contenders on this event. The weather is promising a good challenge to be had with wind, sun and rain. A big lunar eclipse is building up. And yes,
A BIG BAG OF GOODIES TO BE WON
So, check your rigs and bring it on. Let the games begin.
8) 8) ;D
This turned out to be a great day to play in the sands. Congratulation for our trophy winner for first place , Trevor. Dave Loveluck Second. Kerwin Third. Glen forth and Del fifth.
The rain stayed behind until we finished.
Great thanks to our sponsors too:
AC Dandy from Wetaskiwin
Eatons Edmonton
TriStad Construction
4x4 Wheels on Argyl.
Their gifts were welcomed.
And super big thanks to Norman for organizing this event and setting up the challenge trials. Proved to be quite the fun.
I don't have pictures. So post if you got some.
Cheers

Sounds like a great time!!!! Is this the same location where Trevor's RRS failed to proceed in the sand a few years back? Some excellent comms by Norman to spread the word and build up the interest....Well done Norman!!!!!
Really great day to be out playing. That was a lot of fun. Thanks to Norm for his hard work putting it together, and to Emad for all his efforts in gathering up sponsor prizes.
Some of you met Gord out there, from the Northern Alberta 4W Drive Association. He took a ton of pictrures and vidoes and wanted me to share them with everyone. Here's a link,

Oops, the link was messed up. Try again, it should work now. Also the password is case sensitive as well (so all caps)
Well that worked much better this time...thanks Trevor ;)
congratulations big guy!!!! You now have the honour of setting up next years trials ;D
And it sounds like Emad did his usual magic with the prizes too!!!! VERY WELL DONE!!!!!
Looks like Norman organized a great day outing!
Big Thanks to Norman, Jonathon, Trevor and Emad and everyone else who participated and contributed!
