| O.K. boys, we are ready to proceed with organizing the KW Garrison of the CanAm RC Tank Club
The cost of membership in the Garrison will be $150.00 annually paid no later than December 2016 for the 2017 season. Additional family members are only $10.00 per member.
This payment entitles you to the following:
1. Free admittance to the December meet. (If you are not going to pay the membership admittance will be $20.00 to help pay for the hall.) 2. A new KW Garrison T-shirt (available for the first meet in April/May 2017) 3. Use and privileges of both the KW Garrison battlefield as well as the Waterloo Rod and Gun Club anytime. 4. A free ticket on the draw for the Pershing which we extended a year and will be drawn next fall at the airshow.
There are a few details we would like to point out as well. When we schedule our meets for the Garrison they will be WEEKEND events. (The schedule will be coordinated with the other 2 fields early in the new year) We will begin Friday night with set up and perhaps some dusk battles. Full day Saturday, Sunday until 3. There is limited camping available if you so desire and I will look into other things in conjunction with that like hydro, showers, etc... These will be official scheduled events however as a member you are free to come out to the club and use the field at your leisure. So if 3 or 4 of us want to get together for a Thursday night scramble we can do so. Of course this field will be an ongoing building process so I expect to be there at least a couple of weekends a month and probably one or 2 nights during the week till we get the field ship shape for operations starting in April. We may be on grass for the first season but you all know how short I like it so no worries!
Please be aware we are also going to implement Certified classes of tanks for battle. We will always have plenty of open class battles but we are going to introduce Class A certification of tanks. We will go into more detail on this shortly but it will include things like a Tamiya apples (Impact will be acceptable) , Scale OFF ROAD speed, IR emitter range and scatter testing, receiver range testing, reload times, proper hits to kill ratio for the type of tank, and a few other minor details. We will also be including a BB range for those who want to bring their BB tanks out and plug away at some flip targets on a course.
Now, should you choose not to join the KW Garrison that is no problem at all. We understand that not everyone may be into that big a commitment. We will allow a play as you go system which will mean you can come to scheduled events only and the cost will be $25.00 per day to participate with one days free allowance for NEW participants.
The membership fee for Ft. Erie will remain the same at $25.00 as far as I know. This NOT covered by the KW Garrison membership but is paid separately to Glen. The Mississauga club has yet to determine theirs.
The field with what we have envisioned to create is going to cost over $2000 to develop so as you can see these charges will only cover a fraction of the layout needed to create a nice permanent field at the gun club. I'm sure many of you have noticed I have been selling kits and creating some small products which I am selling all over the world. The profits from this will primarily be directed toward the costs to build this field. I'm not a rich man but I am willing to try to get this going with not just my sweat and tears but also my money. If anyone is willing to donate more money than the required fee it will be much appreciated of course!
Attached you will find the form for membership to the Waterloo Rod and Gun Club. Please fill this in and bring $150.00 membership fee with you to the December meet. If you are unable to attend you can send the funds by paypal to dgsselkirk@gmail.com and fill in the form and scan it and e-mail as an attachment to the same address. If you need a cleaner copy you can e-mail me and I can send you a PDF file. or those of you how are not able to scan and e-mail you can just put all your information in an e-mail to me and I can fill in the form.
If anyone has any questions at all by all means let me know!
Dean dgsselkirk

Honestly interested in what shooting facilities it has... |

| Yes, would include a full membership at the WRGC. It is pretty basic. Long gun range for only 2 at a time I think and a skeet range. No pistol. _____________________________________________ "There are things in Russia which are not as they seem..." Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov

| A suggestion on the apple , emitter , taking , giving hits rules , maybe we can do some testing at Dec 10 meet , I know we'll be in doors , but if it's half decent outside , we can test a few tanks , all my tanks are henglong setups with Clarks and rcta bluerings,which I know a few guys aren't fans of , lol , this will give us a small perspective on what we have to do in the off season |

| No problem, we can all have a discussion about this and we can go over a lot of the issues and I can show and explain certification. PLEASE keep in mind that the majority of battles will always be open class. It's just some of us want to get a little more into it and that will require some standards that we want to mirror all the other clubs that basically have rules followed worldwide. Somehow I don't think you will want to stand outside very long in minus 2 to test though! LOL! _____________________________________________ "There are things in Russia which are not as they seem..."

| Dean. I will soon be tearing down my deck which uses a slew (40+) of 1x6 wood panels (36-40" long or more at a guess). Did you want those for the field? They are sun darkened (gray) for the most part.
You may be able to use them for current field outlining... |

| I'm sure we can put them to use Mike. Drop them off at the field with the growing pile of other stuff I am accumulating!
