Update April 15, 2019

Hi members and friends,

Our last event, the steak supper, from last Saturday was a really great success! Very nice day and nice music! I would like to thank our supporters and sponsors who supported this last supper: Lucky Dragon Restaurant, MPM Trucking, R.H. Frenette Group, Eastside Auto Sales, Leon's , North Coast Roofing , Tire 101 and Tralier Sales, Groupe Blanchard, J.L.Breau Grane, Kerry Chain Shaw, C.T.R. Tire. Thank you!

Also, I would like to thank all the sponsors who supported us all season long this year, whether it was with signs, financing donation and suppers which made our success in our regional community! Thank you!

To resume our season: A little difficult at the start with a lot of storms, trees and branches fell down that gave us some challenges. With only one groomer to start, but with the good will of our volunteers, we were able to be and continue to be a good and nice club. We have close to 550 members for season 2018/2019 that is 10% more than last season, 2017/2018, really good! After having back our 2^nd groomer on the trails, we had really good trails and a many positive feedback coming back to us. We have groome around 1650 hours this season. With a positive financial revenu this season, we're planning to clear the undergrouwth from the trails during our dead season and also work in partner with FCMNB on the bridge (Lugar) and prepare the groomers to get them ready for season 2019/2020.

A big thank you to all the volunteers who gave their time this season 2018/2019, your precious time was really appreciated!

I'm wishing you a nice time and a good season and hope to see you back on the next snowmobile season at Club #4, Chaleur Snowmobile Club inc.

Please note that the club will be open for it's last ''Wings night'' this Wednesday, April 17, from 5pm to 10pm, special on wings at 0,50$ each. Welcome to all!

Hi friends and members,

With this cold weather, all trails will be freshly done but this wind will make a lot of drifts some places, be careful.

Our 2 groomers are out since yesterday morning and we have done #19 East until Atlantic Host, #310 until chemin Robertville, trail #19 West until junction #503, and trails #308, #303 and #307.

New Holland is presently back on trails #301 and #22.

Please note trail #22 (around Jo Branch's camp) the creek is bosted but we were able to go through it with the groomer. It is marked with a candle, the trail is good to go with snowmobiles but be careful.

If the weather is cold enough tonight, we'll groom trail #19 East until Atlantic Host and trail #19 West until Island Lake, be careful and have a good snowmobile drive!

Don't forget Saturday, April 13^th, the T-bone steak supper, $20 each.

Please reserve at 783-3335 or 543-4246

Hi members and friends.

I would like to thank all the members and friends who came to our Rings and wings Saturday and most of all to our volunteers who helped make that day a success! 

A big thank you for the support! Really really appreciated!

About our trails, we have groomed trail #19 East until Atlantic Host Saturday night, everything went well, some places have dirt spots around Dunlop, be carefull. 

Because of the temperature, we're planning on grooming Monday night up on trail #19 West until junction #503 and going to trail #308 and trail #301 until the shelter #19/22.

The trail #310 is closed from Millstream River to the end of the trail in Laplante. We'll make some verifications in all trails this week  to see if there's any obstacles such as places with washouts and also see if we need to close parts of trails for security reasons. We will advise you as soon as possible.

Next supper: Steak T-bone on April 13th, from 4 to 7pm.

For reservation, contact 783-3335 or 543-4246.

Thanks again for your collaboration and support!

 Hi members and friends,

We are back in operation with the New Holland!! The groomer was gone Wednesday at 12:30 am. Trails to be done are the following: Trail #19 to Atlantic Host, trail #304 to Danny's Inn and trail #301 until Robertville rd to then come back on trail #19 West to do trail #308 until junction #503 and come back to the Chaleur club. Trail #301 will be done after that.

It could take a bit longer this time to groom since the last storm and all that wind blowing, a lot of snow drifts needs to be cut. Thank you for your understanding!

We will do secondary trails after. (#303 / #307)

John Deer: parts are here, but the provider did not have the special tool available to do the installation... A bit frustrating since we were waiting for that for 14 days! As soon as we get it we will start the repair.

Event to come: Supper March 8 at 7pm, Chaleur club ''Chicken and ribs''

Sponsor from Atlantic Host

For reservation call 783-3335 or 543-4246

Thanks!
