The Brussels, Belgrave Beef Club
had its second meeting on May 9 at
Kim Higgins’s.
The president opened the meting

does it have a tag number. There

Throughout our trail system generous landowners
allow the winter use of their property for the
enjoyment of snowmobiling. This land use privilege
is crucial to the existence of the snowmobile trail,
which provide many social, recreational and
economic benefits to our entire communities.
Without the continuing cooperation of these
unselfish friends of snowmobiling, the quality of
winter life throughout our area would be significantly
diminished.
We ask everyone in our community, but especially
snowmobilers and those who benefit most directly
from snowmobile trails to say a special thanks to our
landowners for the use of their properties again this
past season.
The B&W Trailblazers’ executive and members would
like to show their appreciation to the landowners and
this invitation to the landowners’ picnic to be held on
Sunday, June 4th, 2000 at the Brodhagen Community
Centre. Social is from 2 to 5 p.m. with dinner being
served at 5 p.m. sharp.
For directions contact your ASSIGNED trail
coordinator or call 519-348-9648.
