| Hi Guys, I know I have yet to post the details of the KW Garrison but thought I would post this first. I had a discussion with the President of the KW Flying Dutchmen about setting up a battlefield for their annual scale rally. I have been to this event a couple of times and this is one of the largest scale rallies in North America. They usually get 3000 to 5000 people so it will be lots of exposure for us to people interested in R/C. http://www.kwflyingdutchmen.com/scalerally.htmlSo, I will be setting up my travelling road show and invite any and all members to come Saturday or Sunday to have some fun, watch a great R/C air Show and oh yea, battle with your tanks! :-) If you come all your radios must be 2.4's so as not to interfere with air freq. Let me know if you are coming. Admission is $7.00. Just easier to pay that than try to explain who you are with! This will also give you the chance to see the facilities here and look over the concept for the new battlefield with me. Any questions let me know!

| Yes, I for sure will be there 2 days. It is at Waterloo Rod and Gun Club 1075 Bo De Ln, St. Jacobs, ON N0B 2N0 I will give exact directions next week but it basically is about 15 mins north on the expressway from the Schawben club where we had last winters battles.

| did the grass cut today and will be down there Friday.
For those of you coming here are directions:
Off the 401 take the usual Kitchener exit Stay to right as you approach town to go onto Hwy 7/85 (Conestoga Parkway) towards Elmira Exit at Regional Road #15, St. Jacobs exit right after the closed Northfield exit At the end of the ramp turn Left onto King St. N. /Regional Rd. #15 you will go past the St. Jacobs market on your left through a couple of lights , and the road will curve around to the right to the corner of King/Weber/Lobsinger Line. There is an ESSO station kitty corner.
Turn Left there at Lobsinger Line (Regional Rd. #15) go exactly a kilometer Turn Right at Twp. Rd. #32 (Three Bridges) you will see signs behind the tree so make sure you slow down after going a kilometer so you don't miss it. Go up the road 1.3 kilometers and on the left is Bo-De Lane. There is a Rod and Gun Club sign there and you will know you are on the right road because there is a no exit sign.
Hope to see a few guys out! _____________________________________________ "There are things in Russia which are not as they seem..." Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov

| Dean, if I can keep my schedule clear for the Saturday, I'd like to make it there. I earn some points from the wife this past weekend, so I'll see if I can cash them in. _____________________________________________ HL Panzer III | HL Tiger | HL Jagdpanther | HL Panther | Mato Sherman Hooben Elefant | HL Pershing | HL Bergepanzer IV | Tamiya Leopard 1A | WSN T-34 HL "Golden" Pan-Tiger | M16 Halftrack | HL Panzer IV | Tamiya KV-1 | Tamiya Tiger

Dean, I'll be traveling pretty light (no Scout this time) do you want me to bring that Christmas tree I told you about since I have room? _____________________________________________ HL Panzer III | HL Tiger | HL Jagdpanther | HL Panther | Mato Sherman Hooben Elefant | HL Pershing | HL Bergepanzer IV | Tamiya Leopard 1A | WSN T-34 HL "Golden" Pan-Tiger | M16 Halftrack | HL Panzer IV | Tamiya KV-1 | Tamiya Tiger

| Excellent day everyone, we made a good impression I think & lots of people were very curious as to what our little gizmos were up to.
I also noted on my way home that the club is about 3 minutes away from Shooters Choice. Oh joy oh bliss. _____________________________________________ Tiger I - Panzer II - Panzer III - Panzer IV - Chi Nu Kai - Panther G - KV-1b 756(r) M4A3(76) Sherman - T-34/85 - M3 Grant - SECRET PROJECT

| Dean, thanks for putting on the event. It was a good time, glad I was able to make it out. Also it was nice to meet your wife, she made a good target for most of the day. Can wait to see the pick Sherman. _____________________________________________ HL Panzer III | HL Tiger | HL Jagdpanther | HL Panther | Mato Sherman Hooben Elefant | HL Pershing | HL Bergepanzer IV | Tamiya Leopard 1A | WSN T-34 HL "Golden" Pan-Tiger | M16 Halftrack | HL Panzer IV | Tamiya KV-1 | Tamiya Tiger

| I have to admit it was good times in spite of the weather. Great to meet Anita, who has the makings of a formidable tank commander. Here are some pics of the grounds " We need to get abetter view of the battle field", he said She nearly killed me several times but just as all seemed lost she spared me and found the repair button on the transmitter The crowd watched in stunned silence as the battle raged on...
