On November 20, 2018 / Club meetings, Feature, OFSC, Signage, Volunteers

snowmobile-trail-signage

Who would have thought we would have this much snow stay on the ground this early in the year. I hope it stays until April. I had my first ride but didn’t get out of the yard.

Our Signage Training Course is being presented on December 4, 2018 at 6:00 prior to the regular Board Meeting at the Community Centre in Kinburn. If you haven’t volunteered to help sign some of our trails this is an excellent opportunity to find out what it’s all about!

Don’t forget that OFSC requires that all Trail Coordinators receive Signage Training at least every 3 years. There are a number of new people on the list this year that require training and others that need a refresher course. I hope to see you there.

Also we have lost a few people this year and are looking for Trail Coordinators for the following sections.

A trail	Arnprior dam to RR29
W16	W11 to Galetta Rd
W16	Cannon Smith to Torbolton Ridge
W16	Torbolton Ridge to Buckrams Bay
W311S	CP rail Pakenham to Arnprior

If you have friends who snowmobile and would volunteer to help on one of these sections please let me know.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated by the Board of Directors and enjoyed by our club members. I thank you for your assistance.
