Default JKJam 2010 update

Great news,

We are now able to announce that we will run a moderate trail at JKJam this year.
We have received enough experienced help to support the next level of trail difficulty.
We may also be able to once again offer an advanced level trail as planning progresses.

Also we have had 2 water trucks donated to ensure that there is mud on the offroad course, and the Port-o-Potty facilities have also been donated for the JKJam site which further reduce expenses to increase the amount raised for the Cancer Society.

For more information and/or to register, visit the JKJam website (web address in my sig)

Looking forward to seeing a lot of frends and meeting a lot of new JKers there.

Cheers

Rob 'Tunes' O

Thanks Dave,
Yes it should be, it was last year.

The Cancer Society has jumped onboard big time. They have setup a few sponsors and are making us do a radio interview next week.

we are hoping to double last years numbers.

The only problem is that local hotels are booking up because there is a soccer tournament in Trenton the same weekend. I will see about reserving 20 room in Belleville for those choosing not to camp.


So any chance you will be in Ontario anytime next summer Dave?

With rooms in short supply, what is the camping area like? Friendly for a tent trailer and the kids (teens)? You noted it was basic camping (no electricity), do they allow camp fires? Access for the Jeep is no issue, OK for the tent trailer?

Did you have many camping last year?

I'm looking forward to the event and learning from those with some experience, just need to register now.

I don't blame you. My trip down there was the best trip I think I ever did. 10 days in Auckland, good times

Enjoy.

Im not sure how many camped last year. I'm guessing about 8 tents and 1 tent trailer? There is tons of space, and a bonfire setup from 8:00 till10:00 but no other fire pits closer to the camping area. There will be 2 BBQs thought to cook on if you like.
Family, Kids, teens, are all welcome. Scott's kids will be there and quite a few will be bringing children again this year.
