Coming up on that time of year again to hold the Sean Green Memorial Trials event.
Gonna change the location this year as the sand is getting old after the number of years we held the event there.
This year we are going to move it to TORE (Total Off Road Experience). This is the location where the Landrover dealership has held their Wheels event in the past.
This will give us some different terrain to test the skills, maybe with some chills!
The date will be October 6th in the morning, rain, shine, or snow, and we usually wrap it up in the afternoon. Light lunch will be provided.
A couple volunteers to help with set up the day before and take down the gates afterward would be great.
Let me know if you are planning to make it and how many will be in your vehicle. Need to get a rough idea of numbers.

So mark your calendars!
I will be there

I will be there. Will be nice to run that course is the rain /snow/mud.
CB Radio Communications tuning time.
Glen, I can help out with setup/running the event. My email is tmyler@shaw.ca if you need to get in touch directly.
At this point it will just be myself in my vehicle, and I will have the Disco
Let the games begin!!! I can help with the set up too ;)
*grumbles*
I KNEW that date was conflicting with something.
I'm planning to shoot an IPSC match that weekend down in Brookes. Registrations are tight for these though as there's far more people wanting to shoot than there are slots available. So I won't know for sure until a couple weeks before when the registration takes place.
I will confirm either way at that time, so please move me to "tentative" for this.
I may be able to make it up for this? Don't hold me to it as my schedule can be crazy in the autumn but fingers crossed!
It's a gettin' closer to the SGMT!!
So far we have attending:
David Menard +1or2 guests
Brendan Leier
Emad El-Zein
Del Badiuk
Bill Inch
Jefferey Smallhorn
Ian Gates
Andrew Wong + Kurtis
Toze +1
David Lovelock and Michele
David Brand
On the maybe list we have:
Trevor Myler
Matt Huffadine and Joy.
Please let me know if I have missed anyone or if you would like to be added to the list?
As the date gets closer we will figure out a place to meet for breakfast and convoy out to the site.
Stay tuned!!

Glen and I went out TORE on Friday and we think we have 10 very good sections for you to test your metal on, two of which will be a great deal of fun on their own. If you haven't already done so PLEASE...if you are interested in coming out Sunday Oct 6th for some great fun contact Glen Millar and let him know how many will be in your party. We need this info so we can plan for the lunch.
Bring your families so they can join in the fun too!
Glen will send out the event details later this week....but for now....who and how many please.
;D
Contact info for glen?

No longer going to be able make it up for the trials. The weather has put a serious crimp in my plans.
RELEASE.....THE PLOWS!
Matt, you need to come up here and WIN the trials and take the SGMT back to your end of the province!!
Just sayin'!
;D
I love to come up for this but got too much happening in October/November this year and that snow storm had me burn up the weekend fixing the Snow Plows instead taking care of my stuff.
Pesky job.
Looks like we are going to be having a bit of very nice weather for Sunday. The trails to the south have had a good week to dry out a bit so some of the wetter low lying trails should be accessible to us. Looking forward to a good day out with everyone ;)
It was a perfect day out at T.O.R.E. for the SGMT today....couldn't have asked for better weather!!! The blindfold challenge was a real hoot and watching drivers navigate through the 10 gates with a pot of water on their bonnet was hilarious. The driver with the most amount of water in the end won. It was a tie for that one with Curtis and David tying. But I still can't figure out how they finished with more water then they started!?!??! And watching the pot of water on top of the diesel was hilarious as it looked like the water was boiling as it bounced around to the rattle of the of the engine
David Lovelock's niece Deanna (sp?) visiting from New Zealand was in her first trials...at 14. She was having a blast! First place, the SGMT trophy and the honour of setting up next years event goes to Curis Wong, driving his dad's (Andrew) RRS. Yup, it was a great day out!!!
A big thanks to Glen Millar (last years winner) for setting this all up....well done sir!!!!
I'm sure Lloyd will be posting some great photos soon too.
;)
Well, Lloyd thought he had posted some pictures. But, it appears clicking the post button was too difficult last night.
This is just the first few, there are over 350 to process. It'll take a few days.
Here's the facebook (if you are on facebook) album with the photos. Credit to David Menard for some of them.

If you're not a facebooker, I'll put them on Google photos tomorrow (assuming I remember).
