Welcome back folks! Only 13 days to competition and the team is very busy. The toboggan construction has finshed and we test run the toboggan tonight!

The final team that will be attending competition has been picked. Thank you very much to all the members who have dedicated so much of their time to get us this far! Still lots more work before competition.

The toboggan has been sent to the welders and the skis are curing and have been sent off to be ground.  The technical display is now complete (photos coming soon) and the design team is busy writing our technical report!

Happy Holidays !

Our final ski mix has been picked and we have pour all our skis (and spares) for our toboggan.

Our toboggan materials have been aquired and now are being cut to size.

The annual GNCTR team building socail was heal and was a great sucess. Lots of fun meeting new and old members and watching some varsity hockey!
