MERRY CHRISTMAS… HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
We’ve been very busy since our last article. The Club held there annual Christmas party on Dec 3rd with a pot luck dinner and a gift for all. We had a very productive meeting and discussed a lot of Issues.
Our fund raiser has been doing awesome, our goal was $4000. And to date we are at $3500. I would like to thank all of you that have given so generously to this cause. The tucker has new hydraulic pistons, several new hydraulic hoses, new brake master cylinder and brake switch, and the sprockets are our being recovered.
We are still scheduling work details to get things ready before the start of the season including removing downed trees from the trails as a result of last snow storm. For those interested in helping, keep an eye out on Facebook or our club website as we’ll be posting times for our work parties.
We are also working to have an email option so that you will be able to receive communication thought email too. To sign-up and receive emails visit the “Subscribe to Our Newsletter” section on the Home page of our Website and enter you’re email address and click "Sign-up".
Our wide track is back out on the trails and working hard. Last year we put a lot of time and money into getting it trail ready, and Bob has been using it to check on the trails, cut trees, and put up signs.
At the time of writing this newsletter our trail system still remains closed. But there is some very limited riding available in some of the higher elevations. But we still have a lot of trees down from the recent snow storms and open water because the ground never froze before we got the snow. If you do decide to venture out for some early season riding be prepared for any and all conditions.
This year there is no gas available in Bristol by snowmobile.
The bridge out behind Park and Go is not safe to run sleds over and the gas station across from Gilly’s is closed. You can get gas in Franklin, Andover, Canaan, Bridgewater, Plymouth and Wentworth so if you’re riding over this way plan accordingly.
Our next meeting is January 7th at Gilly’s Restaurant in Bristol @ 7pm
We will be doing a food drive for our local food pantry so anyone that would like to donate any non perishable food can drop it off at the meeting.

Welcome to the 2018-19 season it’s hard to believe as I write this its 90 plus outside and I have the AC cranked and thinking about snow.
Packets are being sent to existing members and included will be a renewal form for the membership. Please read everything very closely as we have had quite a few changes this year in how you are going to be able to get your voucher that you will need to registered your sled. If you have any questions please call me @ 603-744-5497.
Also included will be a list of all the club meetings which will be held at Gilly’s Restaurant again this year as it work out great last year. All meetings will be listed on the website.
We will be starting trail work right after Labor Day. We have a bridge that needs to be re-decked and lots of work on the Tucker. Notices for work parties will be posted on the web and Facebook.
Last year we took over a portion of the Old Pemi Valley club trails and had quite a few problems with everything from trail closed due to landowners to trails closed due to washouts and Ice problems by the river due to rain and Ice jams. It was challenging at best but we have over the summer fixed the bridge by the river by putting in a culvert that will allow the water to run and the ice to go over the trail without the bridge in the way. Hopefully this will fix that problem. We also fixed the washout under the power lines on Route 11. The landowner that had the locked gate has given us permission to use the trail this year so we should be good for Route 11 south.
We do have a couple of projects for this fall that need to get done so any help you could give would be appreciated.
It would be great to have a couple of club rides and I am looking for someone that would like to head this up if you’re interested let me know.
Think Snow, Lucy
