Tuesday September 7
training will be held at Eric Bruders and will be our world famous, can't be missed GPS poker run! This is a great training exercise that puts all the GPS practise into a real situation. Great fun to be had by all.
Special note: this will start at 18:00 hours due to the time of year and shortness of daylight. We will hold a short board meeting afterwards for those board members who can attend.
Be sure to dress appropiately, the weather may be cool. At least the skeeters should be all dead by then!
Directions to Eric Bruders are as follows:
FROM PINCHER CREEK SOUTH ON HIGHWAY 6 UNTIL KERR ROAD. TURN WEST ON KERR ROAD AND DRIVE UNTIL YOU CANNOT GO ANY FURTHER AND YOU ARE THERE!
BE AWARE OF A COUPLE OF CORNERS ON THE GRAVEL ROAD TO ERIC'S. AS USUAL PLEASE USE CAUTION, LOT'S OF DUST. PERHAPS CAR POOLING WOULD WORK.
