Close to sixty people packed the room - many of them newcomers to the Association. Chairman :J Heinz Hoernig describedIt 4.d first year's activities' an outlined the Association's plans and projects for the following year. The eventual aim is to' have hiking trail that stretches from Goderich to Wingham, following the Maitland River - including branch trails. Its development is similar to the way the Bruce Trail was • First, the most . appropriate route is worked out. Then, since much of the route' must cross private, property, the owners are approached, with the hopes of obtaining their_pertnission. This takes the form*an unwritten "gentlemen s agreement". which may be withdrawn if the owner has a change of the heart. Where permission is not granted, the trail must detour around that section. Road allowances and public lands are also involved.. The responsibilities of the Association don't end with • the construction of the trail, however. Members inspect the trail to repair damage, if any, and to clean up any debris left by unthinking users, and also endeavour to teach users proper "trail manners''. The most important rules, of course, are to stick to the trail, since it is often on private land, to leave no garbage, .and to do no harm to the environment. As Mt. Hoernig reported, the first year's work has resulted in three excellent .and scenic sections, to provide good hiking, snowshoeing and cross country skiing Igt___outdoor enthusiasts. Indeed, many hikers have already enjoyed these sections. trail Construction Director, Bill Wisser reported on the actual trail construction. Many local members of all ages - from members of the G.D.C.L's "Outers", under Johnr, Smallwood, to members whose vigour and enthusiasm belie their age, gave the trail construction great momentum. They trimmed overhanging branches, painted blazes, built steps and btidges, and, reported "It was fun - I'll come again." Sec. Treas. Jean Knight outlined the Assoc.'s financial position, and then the new officers were ejected. Executive Officers are elected for a two year term. Those in their second year are Chairman Heinz Hoernig, Secretary-Treasurer Jean Knight, and Director in charge of Trail Construction and Maintenance, Bill Wisser. First Year officers are the Vice Chairman Jim Bishop and Landowner R elations Director, Maurice Wilkinson. Two positions, those of Club Activity Director, and Public Relations Director are yet to be filled. Ideas put forth by Nick Hill , concerning the best ways of extending the trail as far as possible in the next year, were then discussed at length. Comments and questions from the floor showed an abundance of interest in the Trail's extension and success. With, the business portion concluded , everyone shared in a combination coffee, cookie, cdnversation and leg-stretch break. Then, thus refreshed, they settled down to view an excellent film about the Bruce Trail called "Among Other Things". All members and hikers expressed deep appreciation for the perrnission given through the generosity of the many land- owners already involved. They are truly unselfish, public- spirited people. Because of them, there will be many healthy, happy hikers in Huron County. May all live up to their trust!
