Everyone is welcome and that includes non-members.  People interested in our hobby can come here and ask questions, and hopefully get replies from some of the Foothills members or maybe even other experienced R/C pilots from around the world that may be looking at our site.  Keep an eye here for activities going on at our Strathmore flying field, and if you are a member, please leave a message here if you are going out flying  so everyone knows and maybe we can all get together and have fun and create interest in our hobby.

Team Alberta - 2004 Nationals

Date Entered: 2002-11-17
Author: doug
 

This idea is in response to an apparent interest amongst Alberta IMAC pilots to attend the Model Aeronautic's National Competition proposed for Vancouver B.C. in late July of 2004.

We do however, believe that it should not be limited to just IMAC pilots and extend an invitation to other special interests to participate as well.

This is to be a light hearted, fun approach to competition - more about simply participating than winning - more about the fellowship of the encompassing travel vacation than the end destination.

The premise is this:

     - Alberta pilots would have more than a year to prepare aircraft and practice, practice........

     - Participating pilots would arrange 2004 vacation time to allow for a relaxed RV round trip to the competition.

     - Hopefully travelling together, we would arrange to camp and fly with various clubs along the way......

     - The "Nationals" would be but one stop on "Team Alberta's" British Columbia goodwill road tour...

Interested pilots are asked to spread the word "Alberta is going to the Nationals" and everyone is welcome!

Until a formal organizing committee is struck - Donette and I welcome your questions and support - Email us your intent to join us at info@actionhobby.ca entitled: "Team Alberta".
