     This where the meet will be hosted.  Rooms are more expensive sense the oil industry has moved into the area.  Prices will be going up for this fall, so reserving room would save you ten dollars a night.   there is the old hotel and the newer one.  Harry, the owner, said there is about a 20 dollar difference between the rooms.

     The evenings will be primarily social time in the attached banquet room.  No formal presentations planned at present.
   
      The Banquet will be on friday night.
 
      The Raffel will be after the banquet, as usual.  We are looking for some people to help collect raffel prizes.
 
    
     Meet chairmen

Best airport to fly into is Regina (90 minutes NW).        Minot North Dakota is 3.25 hours southeast
 
Northwest Airlines does fly into   Regina From several places.
 
If you need someone to pick you up notify myself and we will work it out somehow.
 
All visitors will have no problem getting out hawking with any falconer that attends the meet!!!  Canadians are not  competitively oriented and very social,  the americans that bring birds are more like displaced Canadians (or at least Saskatchewanians),  that is why we have so much fun.
 
I personally guarentee you to have a lot of fun!!!!  I would bet your life on it, eh????
 
You will see and enjoy some of the best early season hawking available.
 
White Tail Jacks are up in numbers a bit
 
Uplands are good, grouse in particular.
 
Water is leaner than usual, could change by then however.   If you fly primarily ducks they can be found, However, I would be prepared to fly Huns, Pheasants  or Grouse.
 
 
    I hope to see all of you there!!
 
    I will hopefully be bringing Jazz my 4th season hybrid, and Buddy 2nd season passage tiercel Prairie.
