Well, as some of you know, the Grand Cache trip that was being arranged by Edmonton area clubs has been canceled for this year. However they are trying to pull something together for next summer... in order for members of Jeeps of McMurray to attend this, we were to be recognized as a formal club... at this point we have no official plans for becoming a recognized association... there are a few reasons why and anyone who wants to discuss this can pm or email me at mcjeeps@telus.net
In the meantime, should there be a run to Grande Cache next summer, we can as individuals attend IF as INDIVIDUALS those interested become members of the Edmonton Jeep Club.. I emailed Ian, the president of that group and this is the information he gave me:
So, there you have it, we can become members of their group and attend events under their umbrella... We may try to pull together a plan, whereby a few of us travel together to attend one of their events to get our official membership, so please, keep watching, we'll post this information as it develops!
Happy Wheeling

"Regarding membership with EJC, Your group is more then welcome to become members. We do require you to participate in an official club event before membership is granted. There is at least one Official EJC trip planned per month. We tend to make these trips weekend events so it could be worth your while to come out for some of them. Club events are posted on our website under the EJC Announcements & Events forum.
Once you have attended an event, you can pay for your membership.
Dues are as follows:
$30.00 for a personal membership, which covers you and 1 passenger.
$40.00 for a family membership, which covers you and your spouse and children.
Detailed membership information can be found on our website www.edmontonjeep.com
As we are a registered association, we will be eligible to attend the ACE conference in Grande Cache next summer.
All that aside, It sounds like you have a very capable group up there. I look forward to meeting you all.
Cheers
Ian Etherington
EJC President
