HIGHLIGHTS OF APRIL 20th Ride First Club ride of 2008 was held on April 20th. There were 14 machines and 19 people. There was lots of mud for those who like mud bogging. Pretty chilly riding especially for children. The 50/50 was won by Doug Hawkins. It was Doug's first ride and also his first flat tire.

NOVEMBER MEETING HIGHLIGHTS There were 14 members and 1 guest present Our guest, Wally Bergen, spoke on the process involving the updating of the RAMP. It was discussed whether we should have 2 teams to plan fun days etc. but decided we should have more members help with these days instead. There was a lengthy discussion on a proposed fun day in the Spring. We considered asking quad dealers and truck dealers to attend with demo machines and this will be looked into further. It was passed that we have signs made up and placed at the bottom of certain frequented trails used by quad riders instructing them to be conscious of the environment and safe and responsible riding habits upon approval from appropriate authorities. The Club Webmaster requested email addresses from all members. Contact him through this web page. If you have any comments please notify him as well. There will be no Club meeting in December.

We had lengthy discussion over future rides in the coming year and a competitive recreational area for them to be held. Please keep your eyes and ears open for such an area and bring your ideas to our next meeting. We also had discussion over the idea to have an BVQR weekend of camping where family and friends could join us in addition to riding. Please join us at the November meeting with your ideas in order to make the coming year the best ever with rides and events to meet all members needs.
