WCSTA Club Meeting Updates

On January 3, 2016 / Club meetings, Feature, News and Events, West Carleton Snowmobile Trails Association

Please join us for the West Carleton Snowmobile Trails Association first club meeting of the new year, Tuesday evening (January 5th) in the board room at the Kinburn Community Centre (doors to the left of the main entrance). The meeting will start at 7:30, rather than regularly scheduled time of 7:00pm.

Although unconfirmed at the present moment, we are hoping to have the club’s new Argo Centaur groomer available for a sneak peek prior to the meeting! This is the culmination of hundreds of hours of research, planning and paperwork by club volunteers, and earmarks the start of an exciting new era for WCSTA.

The club is currently looking for volunteer coordinators, people to help with events, brushing, signage and other volunteer positions. Have any special skills that you might be willing to share to help make our club, our trails and our events even better? Please come and introduce yourself at a meeting, or contact us.

With some cold weather in the forecast early this week, we are all hoping trail opening will be imminent as our swamps and waterways freeze over.

We hope to see you at the meeting!

Trail signage course announced: Nov 10, 2015

On November 3, 2015 / Club meetings, Feature, Signage, Volunteers, West Carleton Snowmobile Trails Association

Sledding is just around the corner. In preparation for the installation of trail signage and markers, the WCSTAI will be holding its annual trail signage course on November 10, 2015, 6:30-7:30 PM in the Conference Room* at the Kinburn Community Centre. Correct signage is the cornerstone of the clubs risk management program and critical to safe sledding on our trails. The trails cannot be opened until this important work is completed.

If you are new to trail signage this season: a) THANKS for volunteering; and b) please plan to attend this course. Note that preparing the trails depends entirely on volunteers like you. If you just want to help out but aren’t sure where to start, feel free to come to the training and we will happily pair you up with an experienced installer.

If you cannot make this training, or have any questions contact the director responsible for risk management at safesledding@wcstai.com

*The conference room is located at the southwest end of the building (closest to the soccer fields). It is NOT the room near the bar nor the large hall.

WCSTA Partnering with Kinburn Community Association for improved facilities

On September 10, 2015 / Feature, News and Events, Volunteers, West Carleton Snowmobile Trails Association

Exciting news! The West Carleton Snowmobile Club has been working with the Kinburn Community Association, and are pleased to announce that for the 2014-2015 season we will be able to expand club activities and amenities through shared use of the Kinburn Community Centre.

Thanks to efforts of club volunteers and members of the Kinburn Community Association we will now have a clubhouse room that is open during certain hours of the week (to be determined). It will have trail maps, washrooms and a place to warm up. A canteen will be open on the weekends and possibly other times depending on the number of people who stop in and extent of usage. Plenty of trailer parking onsite and a gas station one block away make this an excellent launching point for your ride as well.

Our club will be offering a few breakfast outings and dinner parties this year. More events equals more sledding fun, so stay tuned for more information and come and get involved with our great club as we grow again!

Bring on the SNOW!
