SGMT - 2023

[Gardenome]

As I missed second place by a hair, I'm in charge of this year's Sean Green Memorial Trials competition. With Dave Lovelock's help (of course! He just can't help himself) we've been speaking to Lee and he's willing to have us stop by again this year.
Trials date is Sept 30, 2023. (sorry to those that can't make it, it's what Lee requested).
Dave plans on heading out next Sunday (Sept 17, 2023?) to scout the place and make plans.
We'll follow up with times, directions and such as we get closer but wanted to give you time to mark off your calendars.
See you there!
Ian

ps. I couldn't figure out how to add anything to the forum calendar

Hi Ian

Chris, yes it is the old Safari park.

We need to get an idea of numbers so if you could please send me a message if you plan to attend and if you're bringing guests. We want to make sure we have enough food to keep people happy.

I'll be at the trails and I'll likely have a passenger in tow.   Sorry...can't make the prep weekend though. :-[

In previous years the event started at 10AM with some meeting for breakfast at 8AM. I haven't had any luck making it to the breakfast so I'll let someone else organize that.

We will start this year at 10AM.

(53.4535109, -112.8621439) are the coordinates. Hopefully they can be used by multiple mapping apps.

Well.....based on the last numbers it looks like we are going to have  good day a the trails ;D

We had a solid drizzle all day friday so the trails course(s) will be a bit grease and that much more entertaining.   Forecast for saturday is "no rain" so that's a bonus.   And with the fall colours in full bloom should be a beautiful day out at Lee's.    He's cleaned out the fire pit at the cabin and Bert's supplying a box lunch from Acapella catering, which always makes wonderful meals.    Yup....going to be a beautiful day in the neighborhood.    With luck there will be a drown out there to capture some of our digressions  ::)

If you want to know more about the Sean Green Memorial Trials here's a video That Jeffrey Smallhorn put together for us, showing two different trials at two different locations.   Grab a cuppa and enjoy the piles of fun for drivers and spectators alike......

cheers

Hint: Watch at 2x speed. Trials move pretty slow. :)

[binch]
