We had many conversations at NW Fest. And here is my nieve interpretation of the conversations (John took notes so he can correct me if my interpretation is WAY off). This is also the perfect time for some of you to start taking some responsibility and helping support our Club, Chapter, and Sport.
1. Trail Clean ups.
Matt (IXNAYXJ) and MOJOJOJO have both offered to help coordinate two official trail clean ups for our group. The idea is to support two formal trail clean ups that others have coodinated each year. Once we show the support that we need consistently then we can consider our own trail clean ups, and or adopting a trail or two.
2. Other formal events.
Currently we have 1 formal event a year (for 3 years now) NW Fest. There was talk about increasing this to 4 formal events per year. The 3 additional events that were informally voted on adding are as follows:
1. Noob run (similar to the Tahuya run earlier this year) designed for those with stock to 3" lifted trucks and/or little time behind the wheel off road. Could incorporate basic techniques, winching, trail etiquite, etc, etc.
2. Snow run (similar to many of the runs that I have put together in the past) very good for anything from stock to major modified rigs, very little likelyhood of body damage, fun for the whole family, but need to be very careful about planning and warm clothes, etc.
3. Spring run (open to any ideas). Probably to include trail leaders for multiple groups of varying capability.
So, to make this happen we need 2 people to offer their time and effort to plan 1 of these events each (I will offer to plan the Snow run this year). This would include advertising the event, setting the time/place, organizing meeting and activities, camping/day event, what ever need to happen to make it successful, safe, etc. We also need to coordinate required equipment for each event and signing of wavers etc (Phil and Mark we are going to need some help understanding other requirments).
3. More informal events.
We would like to see 1 informal event per month. Basically when you are going to go 4 wheeling, post up on the board so that others are aware and can join up. Make sure to keep in mind that even if it is a informal event you are still part of and to protect it's reputation please be cautious of the activities that present themselves and that they are appropriate.
Please feel free to coment, sign up, take responsibility, etc.
