Welcome to our 34th season. As I write this we are in the midst of a heatwave 90 plus degrees. I think this a good time to think about the winter ahead and all the snow we’re going to have, and all the fun we’re going to have on our snowmobiles.
At our April Meeting we elected officers for two year term. Dennis Ford for President and Trail Administrator, Bob Armstrong for Vice President, Nigel Croxon for Trail Master, Lucy Ford for Secretary and Treasurer, and Steve Norander as Assistant Trail Master. Welcome to our officers.
Last year we put on our first Newfound Classic car show in conjunction with the Bristol Old Home Day festivities at Kelly Park. We will be doing that again this year on August 27th with a rain date of the 28th. Anyone interested in bring a vehicle or helping out at the show please contact Lucy. Fundraising is very important for the operation of the club, if anyone has any ideas on fundraising or would like to head up a fundraising committee please contact Dennis. A good fundraiser for the club is the grass drags as they pay $10 an hour donation to the club for work before the show, during and after. Anyone interested please contact me at 603-744-5497.
We will be starting trail work once the weather starts to get cooler. We have one very large bridge to rebuild this year, also a reroute of corridor 11 around the steep ledge hill out behind our house. So look for information on this and all other trail work on our Facebook page and web site.
This year we will have the use of the State BR-120 again for grooming the Bristol end of the trail system. With the repairs that we made last year the machine looks in good shape for another season. The Snow Cat needs some track work and we will also tackle this in the fall.
This year, as we did last year, I will be emailing you your voucher which you need for sled registration discount. If you would like a hard copy please indicate that when you send in your renewal.
Have a great summer and we will see you in the fall on the trails.
Think Snow
