Do you have a business, particular skill set or talent that you would like to make available to other members of the club?  We would love to know about it! We are trying to create a list of skills to enable us to use our own resources to help with club or members’ tasks. We would rather pay our own members for services instead of paying travel costs for someone to come from outside the 70 Mile House area. We feel this will help build stronger ties of community within the club, and add a greater sense of ownership to our wonderful region.  If you would like to be included in this directory, please reply to  grlksnowmobileclubinfo@gmail.com  with the following information:


Name:
Contact Info:
Type of Goods or Services:

For example, we are looking for someone with a backhoe to help smooth out some of the trail leaving from the club house cattle gates.

A special thank you to Gerry Goosen, who so generously donated his time, effort, materials, and skill to re-install our Clubhouse information sign. As you may know, the tree that the sign was hanging on finally became unstable. It was decided to put it on posts, so there should be no issues in the future.

THANKS GERRY!

Snowmobile Safety:

  • We often get calls from people who become stuck or lost out on the trails and beyond. Keep in mind that you need to go prepared, in case it happens to you. The snowmobile club will try to assist if possible, but please note that this is not a given. It will depend upon what, where, when, and who is available to go out. We are not trained or equipped for rescue operations. Sometimes your best bet may be to call Cariboo Search and Rescue 250-395-3210 or police. Here is a minimal checklist of how you can prepare:
  • Never ride alone!
  • Leave a route plan with someone at home, and stick to it.
  • Have a collapsible snow shovel with you in case you need to dig your sled out.
  • Take your fully charged cell phone with you, and extra power for it if you can.
  • Take snacks and water
  • Take a flashlight (Not your phone).
  • Have the ability to make a fire.
  • Have an emergency heat blanket in case you are stuck overnight.
  • Remember your GPS if you have one.
  • Put the Search and Rescue and other emergency phone numbers into your phone.

Attention:


We are trying to get numbers for the upcoming Christmas dinner at the Snow club. If you can or cannot come, could you send your reply to this email address, as soon as possible.

The South Green lake fire dept and snowmobile club Christmas party will be on Sat Dec 14 with happy hour at 5 and dinner at 6. The turkey, ham, beer and wine will be provided. Potluck will be sides, dessert and appies. This year we will be collecting cash as a food bank donation. The auxiliary will be matching whatever amount is donated.

There will be a tacky gift exchange. A $10 limit to spend or bring a recycled gift from home.  Participation is optional. If you bring a gift, you get a gift. This is always fun with lots of laughs. 

Set up for the event will be Thurs Dec 12 at 11am. (after yoga). Please come if you can.

Look forward to seeing everyone

Results from the Special General Meeting Oct 17, 2024

Jack Keough chaired the meeting, and offered some comments about the Snowmobile Clubs’ need for a new direction.
Two motions were presented; 

  1. To change the name from Green Lake Snowmobile Club to Green Lake Community Centre.
  2. To adopt new purposes and bylaws into the constitution.

Both motions were passed after discussion by the members present.  

These changes legally broaden the scope of our activities on the trails and in the hall.  As members of the Community Centre, it will be more inviting and inclusive for different groups to organize their interests and utilize the hall.

Since the current snowmobile season has already begun, it was decided to finish this season under the old constitution.  Once this season is completed, the paperwork and fees will be submitted to the Registrar of Societies, and we can begin to operate under the new constitution.

Many of the finer details still need to be worked out, but the directors will be tackling these items during the year.

Hi everyone,

There has been some problems with the links to the posts going to “404 page not found”.

That should be fixed now for future emails.

I’ve also installed a new calendar for future events. There was some compatibility issues with the old one.

If anyone has any problems, please reply to my admin email.

Thanks,
