So I looked over the current/proposed bylaws. It appears that the larger clubs will lose some power, and the smaller clubs will get a bit more.

If the number of delegates is scaled down evenly across the state I don't think that is a bad thing. My thought is if Pittsburg goes from 36 to 8, it would seem most clubs will get 1 vote. Is there a list of what each club would get for delegates under the new system?

One other item, fire the lawyer. The whole idea of suing the AG's office was asinine.

Hey Dave, I do. I know that our Representative has done the best they can do for our county. The staff has turned out some great improvements this year, Facebook, emails , and website have been greatly improved. My problem is higher up. I feel our club needs to support an association, but one that is there for us. It seems those that run things at NHSA work hard at knuckling the club's under. The Two year wait to get back on the insurance plan is a great example. If a club doesn't buy NHSA insurance, because they want control of it, including Workers comp amounts. What happens if they go out of business? The club cannot get insurance from the NHSA company? So for a year the club shuts down until they can get insurance? The NHSA policy should be so friggen awesome that a club would be stupid to not join in. I do believe in an association, I would like to support an association that I truly feel is working for the clubs.

It's seems that NHSA is really trying to consolidate the power into the Board. Instead of embracing the membership (clubs specifically) it appears to really be attempting to solidify control and pushing their agenda. I'm really thinking it's time for another association.

I would love to hear what when on at last nights meeting. I wasn't able to make it.

There is a Warming Hut in Jericho park. I can't remember what trail, but it it's west of Mt Forist. Edit: Scenic View trail. http://www.whitemtridgerunners.com/maps.html

Thank you for the shorter version. I wonder if Counsel that approved it was the same one that said breaking the old NHSA lease in Concord was ok, and the required NHSA membership was ok, and thought that suing the Attorney General's office to stop the investigation was ok. Anxiously awaiting the next County meeting.

I need to look into this more, but I am not getting the warm fuzzys after reading the proposed changes. https://nhsa.com/nhsa-bylaw-revisions/

This meeting was about the section of Trail from Mammoth Rd, to Lake Shore Rd. Currently Wheeled motorized use is not allowed. Lots of local/abutter support. Paving is not a foregone conclusion and almost all were against it. The biggest issue is the TAP grant. I believe that's no motorized use. I need to look into this more, but it appears you get an approximate grant, then figure out the details and such. So they know that these intersections need to be fixed, there's a wetlands issue, but they haven't necessarily finished the engineering on it. This was the first meeting, with the hope that work would could being April 2019. Some of the items the abutters were most concerned with was maintenance, privacy, parking, policing, and snowmobile use (Order is not necessarily accurate).

I hope the snow shows up! We received roughly 4" in the Manchester area before it turned to rain. ERRRRRRRR!

NHSA FB page posted a story about the Easter Seals ride in. There was mention of the "The Can-Am Sno-Travelers" club. Any info on this club?

So I have been doing this for a while. 86 eligible orders, $24.22 in donations.

I think there is an idea of that Sleds/ATV's will respect the trails, but time after time it's shown that many humans have no respect for anybody or anything but themselves.

Wondering about the new agreement. Has to go to Arbitration. If you sign up, you have to stay on even if one part of the agreement is illegal. Eh, no warm or fuzzies here.
