Four snowmobile clubs loin,
central trail now runs through area
Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, April. 9, 1997 — Page 17
The joining of four local
snowmobile clubs has
resulted in the birth. of
•North Huron Trail
Grooming Incorporated
land the development. of a
t/central trail through these
areas:
Clinton, Blyth, Colborne
and St. Helens snowmo-
bile clubs have combined
forces with the obJective
of working together for
' the benefit of all their
members.
"Each club determined
from its membership that
suchan association was
indeed desired for the,
mutual benefit of all, for
the advancement of snow- •
• mobiling in the whole
area," -North Huron Trail
Grooming Incorporated
.Chairm;an Ken Wilson .
said in a written state-
ments.. •
The new association has.
three main Objectives.- The
first, trail development, is
already underway with the
construction of bridges.
Wilson said the bridges
"will service the area for•
years to come."
"It is a :lot of work, but
once done will give us
, years ` of trouble free
trails, he.stated.
' Wilson said that each of
the four clubs contributed
whatthey could to. the
development of trails, and
the BR-IiO-groomer,
which was purchased by •
Clinton last year, .was also
transferred into the new
association. •
He added another
change the, unification
brought was that all 'per-
mits will be processed
through the association..
Wilson noted that some of
the revenue wih .be given
to each club, while the
remainder: will go into a.
central account. ..
"By having a pooled`
resources fund; it will
allow us to update trails
and equipment in the
future," Wilson noted in
' therel'ease.
Next year, the associa-
tion also intends to distrib-
ute the stakes and signs
centrally so all the trails
can be signed uniformly.
Wilson said this year, "due
to workload and dollars
involved to complete the
bridges project", each club
had to take careof their
own signing program.
The new association is
made of two representa•
-
tives for each. club .and a'.
chairman.
"For the response• I have
seen to: date', I know this
endeavor by the four clubs
will turn this into an area.
to be emulated by many. I
feel the Will to succeed is
amongst us all," Wilson
stated.
