It’s been a long time since I last posted. The post-Fall Gathering weeks turn into bitter cold months and ‘wheeling tends to take a backseat for a lot of us. I’m going to be posting more as the season progresses and as we near Spring and the start of ‘wheeling season again.
A few notes:
- Once again, Lane Noyes is stepping to the plate as YT Trail Planner and is putting together a list of Club runs and trail cuts for the spring, summer and fall. We will be focusing on the Swansey property again this year, with thousands of acres at our disposal, the trail possibilities are only limited by our manpower. We will be utilizing this area extensively for FG09. A full list will be forthcoming as it is finalized. THANK YOU LANE!
- FG09 planning is already underway. It is critical this year that we sign up trailer leaders sooner and in larger numbers. We would like to be pre-running trials all summer so that leaders are fully versed in the areas they are leading come fall.
We will need a number of volunteers to work the sign-in tent, help organize events, solicit raffle prizes as well. Please contact me directly if you are interested (sporin@gmail.com) - Woody’s IH8MUD Tour will be joining us for FG09, and if the Toyota Trail Team is a go in 2009, they will be as well!
- The club has made a substantial donation to the NEA from Fall Gathering proceeds. We have earmarked this specifically for the NEA Trails Fund. This money goes ONLY to local trail upgrades and maintenance.
- We will be holding our yearly business meeting in late April this year, date and location TBD. Once again I strongly encourage those who are interested in leadership roles to run for office. Current BOD has been in place for a few years now and we strongly feel that NEW club leadership every few years is vital to a growing club. Fresh faces, fresh ideas, and fresh legs.
Well that’s it for now, I’ll be updating more in the days ahead. I am well aware that the current online roster list is out of date so Jason and I will be getting that in line. Until then, see you on Mud!
