TWIN BRIDGES SNOWMOBILE CLUB, INC.
APRIL 2010 NEWSLETTER
Well, another season has
passed. A lot of work with little
benefit, another short season…it makes you wonder what future winters will
bring. But spring is here and I think
everyone is ready for the nice weather and an enjoyable summer.
Trail fund paper work has
been turned in to the County to be forwarded to NYS Parks and trail work has
been done for a while now. Thank you to
all that came and helped dismantle the sign posts, everyone made quick work of
that. Some couldn’t believe how many
posts are put on the trails...all for safety and direction.
Over the summer the drags
will be repainted and work on a couple of wet holes will be done.
A picnic is planned for
August 21st with the place to be announced at a later date. It will
be late afternoon. We will also discuss
the trail work that has to be done in September to have the majority of it done
by hunting season in October. It works
really well and is a lot easier when you don’t have to do it with snow on the
ground and rushing to get it done after Christmas to have the trails open.
A member suggested using
email to notify members of work days and upcoming events. That will be done as well as on the web
site. Non-computer members will be notified
as well.
As Parks mandates all that is
to be done to the trails we hope more members will give a hand. It’s down to a science and to be able to
commit to just one or two days would make it go even faster.
October is elections and we
are also looking for some other members to take offices. Think about it over the summer and call one
of the officers if you have any questions or concerns. Some members that have been in the club for
30+ years would like to step down and if the club, which is the oldest in
Cortland County, is to continue we must see some new faces. Any position is open from president to a
board of director.
But the main point of this
last newsletter of the season is to thank the landowners. I know it is said every year but it can’t be
emphasized enough how grateful we are, and the snowmobilers who ride through
the area, for the generosity shown. We
are proud that we have found some riders trailer to our area to ride our trails,
they are that enjoyable. We are also proud to put on a landowners appreciation
dinner in the fall to kick off the new season inviting all landowners to attend
as our guests. Last year was a great
time and it was nice to meet some of the landowners, hopefully this year more
will attend. If any landowner has an
issue regarding last season please don’t hesitate to
call one of the officers.
Have a great, safe summer and
mark your calendars for the picnic on Saturday, August 21st.
