Brandon Kin Museum Exhibit

Opening on Saturday, May 30, the Kinsmen and Kinette Clubs of Brandon have been featured in a new exhibit at the Brandon General Museum and Archives – Web Site http://www.bgma.ca/

We were pleased when the museum approached us to produce an exhibit to highlight the important contributions we have made to the Brandon community in our 90 year history. The museum staff were great to work with as we selected artifacts from our club to loan for the exhibit.

The exhibit will run through the summer of 2015, intending to coincide with the Brandon Kin hosting the Kin Canada National Kinvention in August. The public is invited to view the exhibit during normal opening hours:

Summer hours: (June – August)

Monday to Saturday

10 a.m. – noon & 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.

Location:

Ride for the Breath of Life logo

The 2015 Ride For The Breath Of Life at Cycle Boyz will be held on June 6, 2015.

We are changing the format this year. We are proud to announce a partnership with Cycle Boyz Customs. We are moving our weekend and site. No longer at the Sobey’s parking lot on the Saturday before Fathers Day. Instead, the event will be at

Cycle Boyz Customs
358 Park Ave. East
Brandon, Manitoba, Canada
R7A 7A7

Phone: (204) 726-4641
Website: www.cycleboyz.com

Registration will be 9 am on June 6, 2015.

The route is Brandon-Kenton-Sandy Lake-Rapid City-Brandon.

We will no longer draw cards for a poker hand, but draw a numbered poker chip out of a bucket, numbered 1-30. This means the best possible score would be 150 (5 times 30) and worst possible score would be 5 (5 times 1). There is a cash prize for best and worst score.

Funds raised will go to support Cystic Fibrosis Canada.


CANCELLED – April 18, 2015 Texas Hold’em at the Double Decker

Regretfully, due to low advance ticket sales, the Kinsmen Club of Brandon has cancelled the upcoming April 18, 2015 Texas Hold’em Poker Tournament at the Double Decker.

We thank all who were interested and bought in ahead of time, and apologize that we could not proceed with the event. We are contacting all ticket holders to arrange a refund.

We will attempt to host another event in the future.

PASCAR Racing postponed to Sept. 7, 2014

PASCAR had scheduled a race day on Aug 24, 2014. That has been postponed to Sept. 7, 2014.

After this morning’s inspection of the track and grounds, our operations personnel determined there was too much standing water for safe racing and spectator access to the site.

Here are our revised fall dates:

  • September 7 – gates open 12:00 noon, racing at 1:00 pm
  • September 28 – gates open 12:00 noon, racing at 1:00 pm
  • October 19 – gates open 12:00 noon, racing at 1:00 pm – for our last race of the season we hope to offer a 150 lap enduro race.
