For all members of the Moultonborough Snowmobile Club, please try to send your renewal in early, it helps with our efforts for trail maintenance (most which happens in the fall) and budgeting in general.

For those that are not members of the Club, please consider joining. Membership in a club gives you a $30 discount per machine registered.

We will be announcing the commencement of trail work here and on the Club site soon.

I had posted the folowing earlier in the thread about Registration Fees had cone up this year. It becomes much more germane to this post.

With the lack of good snow and how fast what we had disappeared, registrations were very low this past season.

What does that mean? It means that funds for trail work and grooming this coming season will be cut back considerably. We live and die off of the money taken in through registrations.

Normally each club will submit on average 3 major construction project listed as P1, P2 and P3. These projects are rated numerically as to their importance. In most years the clubs will get the Grants for all 3 projects. This year because of the low number of registrations the Clubs were held to only their P1 grants.

The distribution ($$) for Equipment, ie New Groomers and other related equipment was limited. Clubs that had requested monies for both Trail Work and Equipment were given a choice of one or the other. If you went for the equipment you lost the Trail Work fund. Tough choice!

With the lack off Grant monies this means that the Clubs will need to "SELF FUND" some of these projects that are still necessary for good and safe riding on the trails.
So when you receive your Club renewal application don't let it sit on the kitchen counter till December 15th. Send it back ASAP and maybe check the box off for a donation to "TRAILS", no amount is to small.

With the Billions of dollars that Snowmobiling brings into the State maybe there should be some additional "STATE" funding for the Bureau of Trails and Fish and Game.

Thank you George. I think people sometimes discount how important snowmobiling is for NH's economy. I understand that it is bigger than skiing and it is understandable. Snowmobilers are rarely daytrippers, and often stay in hotels or rent houses thereby paying lodging taxes, buy gas for their tow vehicles and sleds, and of course dine out.
