2006 - 2007

February 15, 2007 - Nice Storm Yesterday! We have aprox 20" of new snow. Once the trails get groomed over the weekend we should have some really spectacular trails to ride on.
Please use some caution crossing over the new bridge over by Henry's Garage, one side needs to be filled in. If your coming down the trail from Summit Hill please stay to the right and you'll be good.
February 14, 2007 - Happy Valentine's Day - Finally it is snowing!!! Happy Trails

January 2007 - Due to lack of Ice we had to cancel the radar runs.... hopefully more ice - and snow will come soon...

2005-2006 SNOWMOBILE SEASON IS UNDERWAY!!

The 2005-2006 season is upon us and its time to start making plans for winter & the arrival of the "first snow".

The summer was a one for the Club with Harrison Old Home Days. Our Club members sold raffle tickets for a Loon 111 kayak and paddle as well as a $100 Visa card. The winners were:

Kayak & Paddle: Rusty Cook of Harrison/Billerica
Visa Card: Dot Latham of Harrison/Peabody

Congratulations to both the winners and thanks to everyone who purchased tickets in support of our Club. We were also busy selling the "best" hot buttered popcorn and hosting the "dice game". The proceeds for the dice game support the Club's $300 scholarship to a Harrison graduating senior at the Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School.

FIRST MEETING OF THE SEASON

The first meeting of the season was held on Monday, September 19, 2005. Highlights of the meeting were e-mailed or snail mailed to members. Below is a brief summary of the events of the meeting.

Meetings

All monthly meetings will be held on the second Wednesday of each month at 7 PM at the Harrison Fire Station. We hope to have a busy year this season with lots of activities, participation from members and SNOW!! If you cannot attend the meetings, please check he Web site for updates.

A Schedule of Events is available on this site which include all special meetings for events, radar runs, etc.

Membership

The Club voted to slightly increase the cost of membership this year. This is due mainly because of the high cost of gas, insurance and maintenance of the equipment as well as the recent purchase of a Mogul Master for grooming.

Cost for membership is:

Family (2 or more members) $30
Individual (1 member) $20

This cost includes the $10 for MSA membership (and one life insurance policy). Additional life insurance policies may be purchased for members of your family (under 18) for $2 each.

Memberships are now due. They are available at every meeting, through the mail or by downloading a form from our Web site. Contact Rose Farnum, Membership Chairperson, with any questions, etc.

Officers

Official vote of the officers was tabled until our next meeting, Wednesday, October 12, 2005. Troy Moore, Trail Master, and Debbie Johnson, Treasurer both resigned from their positions this year. All other officers agreed to stay on another year.

Anyone interested in either the Trail Master or Treasurer position should contact our president, Chris Searles or attend the next meeting. The only requirements for the positions is that the person be able to attend all monthly meetings.

Special thanks to Troy and Debbie for their years of service to the Club!!

TRAIL MAINTENANCE

Please stay tuned for information regarding the start of trail maintenance. According to Troy, there is a lot of work to be done with clearing and bridge work.

SNOW SCOOP

At the Club's last meeting in April, a motion was passed to eliminate the publication of our Snow Scoop.

With our entering the 21st century last year with our new Web site, we decided it would save the Club money and time as well as allow us to reach a much larger audience.

We will be using the Web site, e-mail and limited mailings to keep members abreast of Club happenings and news. If you have an e-mail address and are presently not receiving updates, please provide your address to Sharon Wilson, Secretary, at kswilson@adelphia.net. If you do not have e-mail or computer access, you will continue to receive bulletins in the mail.

RADAR RUNS 2006

The dates for this season's radar runs have been set:

Sunday, January 22, 2006
Sunday, February 5, 2006 (Super Bowl Sunday)

Stay tuned for more details and updates!!
