End of the Awana Season

This will be our last Awana night of the year, except for the Grand Prix Open in Winnipeg.  (see below)  Next week it is Spring Break and the week after that is Good Friday.  So tonight is it!

We've had some fun times this year; our Grand Prix races last week were very fun, with all the cars doing very well.  Zoo Night, the Christmas concert, and Flash Light Night were some of the special events we had during this season.

I'd like to thank the Parents, Grand Parents, neighbours, etc who committed to bringing the Clubbers to Awana this past year, and for coming on special nights to watch them.  I'd also like to thank my Leaders, who give up a fair piece of their free time to plan and run their portions of the Awana program.

Have a good, safe summer!

Grand Prix Open Details

For those who won at our Grand Prix last week in either speed or design (first, second, third and fourth) those people are invited to compete at the Grand Prix Open in Winnipeg, April 14th (Saturday).

The races will be held at Victory Baptist Church, which is on 3428 Portage Ave, only about 5 minutes inside the city on this (west) end.  Registration is at 11:30am, with races starting at 1:00pm.  They will have a canteen, and each car entered to compete will cost you $6.00.  There are also door prizes.

If you did not win, but would like to go check it out, you're also welcome.  I don't think they charge spectators anything.

Racers, please make very sure your car is 150g or less in weight, as they will not be giving any grace at the Open; everyone MUST be at or under 150g or you will not be allowed to compete.

Workshop #2

Despite the poor weather we had today, our club night is on and we will also be hosting the second Grand Prix workshop here at the Church tomorrow, Saturday, Mar.3.  We will have tools set up and leaders available, so if you need some help making your car for the races, make your way down to the church.

We also have more car kits in stock now!  So if you missed buying a kit, they are now on sale again for $4 tonight and I will also have them here at the workshop tomorrow on Saturday, and next week at Awana (Mar.9th).  The races are on March 16th, so please don't delay.

If you've never seen a race, here's a video I made of our races from 2008.  

Calendar of Events

We have determined most of our special event dates for the rest of the club year.  One such event is the Grand Prix, where you build and race your own pine-block car down the 4-lane track against other Clubbers.  We will be selling car kits by February, and you can either take it home and build it on your own or join us on one of our workshop days we will be hosting at the church.  We have tools and people available to help you build your car if you have need.  The actual race will take place in March, and winners from our club will qualify to go to the Grand Prix Open, either in Winnipeg or Steinbach.

February 24 (Fri) - Theme Night (theme TBD...more later)
February 25 (Sat) - First Grand Prix Workshop
March 3 (Sat) - Second Grand Prix Workshop
March 16 (Fri) - Grand Prix Races at our Church
March 23 (Fri) - last regular Awana club meeting
April ? - Grand Prix Open Races for qualified racers

Upcoming Events

Looks like a little more snow tonight; I guess we can't complain.  Here are some upcoming dates/activities for the rest of January...

Tonight - club already in progress
Jan.20th - regular club night, Gilbert has council time
Jan.27th - regular club night, the 24-7 group has a special council time

I'm working on dates for our Fun Fair and for our Grand Prix Races; once I book the track I will set a date for the race, and that will likely come near the end of club year in early April.

Welcome to 2012!

Tonight is flash-light night, and I hope to have a couple more theme nights between now and spring.  Also coming up closer to spring will be the fun fair and the grand prix races.  I'll post more when we actually set the dates.
