RockyRidge Model RailRoad Club

Our club is small, but we are an enthusiastic and growing group interested in model railroading. We are especially motivated in sharing our hobby with our local community and other communities across the province. We take our layout to major shows all over Saskatchewan and Alberta. We like meeting and interacting with families and especially enjoy seeing the children’s reactions. The kids like to share in the fun as we let them blow the trains horn, run the trains for a moment and otherwise enjoy model railroading as much as we do. Club meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month from September to June. We welcome new members any time. For more info, please email nq52613@gmail.com

Local Service Groups

New Horizons Seniors

Martensville New Horizons Senior Center invites anyone 55 years of age or older to join and become members of the center. Meet new friends and greet old friends. We enjoy potluck meals every Monday at 6:00 pm and sometimes we save the cooks and enjoy a catered meal. After the meal there are usually a few people playing cards, some challenging each other to pool, shuffleboard, or board games. Bingo has also resumed at the center. Posters with more information on upcoming bingos will be posted at the library, Corner Store, and the Medicine Shop or call Ed Nowakowski at 306-382-2793 or 306-370-5365. We also advertise our events on Martensville & Area Community News on Facebook.

Coffee is every Wednesday morning at 10:00am, everyone welcome, you do not need to be a member to come enjoy a cup of coffee and visit. Potluck suppers every Monday at 6 pm are for members only. If you are considering joining our center, please let Ed Nowakowski know, and you will be invited to attend the potluck and have supper on us. There is an AED Defibrillator on the premises, and we have purchased an electrostatic cleaner for sanitizing.

The senior center now has a brand-new furnace and had air conditioning installed earlier this year to add to your comfort. The hall is available for rent which helps maintain our expenses. For availability and hall rentals contact Dennis Vogel at 306-2218971 or Lovina Bischler at 306-931-2759.

Our season starts in September and ends with a BBQ in June. Membership is $50/year per person. Some activities subsidized with the grant from Saskatchewan Lotteries are out of town bus trips to the Spa at Watrous or Moose Jaw, RCMP museum in Regina, the Wheatland Express Train Excursion from Cudworth to Wakaw, the Prairie Lily River boat, local school plays, the Barn Playhouse, MAP memberships and sometimes we have musical entertainment after our suppers. We have enjoyed the Christmas lights in town thanks to Angie Reddekopp and the Twinkle Tours buses. We toured the Forestry farm Enchanted Forest thanks to the Kinsmen. We also held our first New Years Eve party last year with food, live music, and a liquor licence so we could enjoy some refreshments to ring in the new year. It was an amazing success.

We have reintroduced a bingo program to our activities which is open to the public and play twice monthly. Bingo is played on the second and fourth Thursday of each month. To date we have been very successful with bingo thanks to all the support we have received from the community. We also have started Kaiser and Cribbage tournaments on the occasional Saturday afternoon. The availability of the hall depends mainly on when we can arrange for a tournament. With the installation of the new furnace and AC we believe the hall will be rented out on a more regular basis. The additional income from our renters allows us to spend more on activities which will give our members more to do socially.

We are grateful to the Martensville Kinsmen for their support and a donation towards kitchen upgrades. We are also very grateful to the Martensville Lions club for their generosity in granting us funding for other projects. We would also like to acknowledge The Affinity Credit Union for past financial support of our center.

We are always looking for new members so please check us out. We promise you a great time. For more information about the Martensville Seniors Centre or to become a member contact Ed Nowakowski at 306-3822793, 306-370-5365 or ernowakowski@sasktel.net
