BUY YOUR TRAIL PASSES WHERE YOU RIDE!!!
The BSGSA have come to an agreement with the NLSF with respect to grooming in the BSG area, and it is a good one! Details are as follows:
The NLSF has allotted a bank of hours to the BSGSA to use over the next 6 weeks to groom our trails as we desire. This was based on discussions on current trail pass sales in the BSG area, and hours that could be derived from those sales. THIS IS THE STARTING POINT. The bank of hours given to us will allow our trails to be in great shape for a time period, BUT, we need more trail passes sold......
The Club's Groomer Coordinator (Shawn Boyd) will decide on when/where the groomer goes in our area. The paid operator will be the main operator for the machine that will be stationed in Cold Brook. The NLSF has agreed to 1 volunteer operator from our club being allowed "seat time" when the paid operator cannot do a required route.
We currently only have 400 Trail Passes sold in our area, THIS HAS TO GO UP! The NLSF has said that EVERY TRAIL PASS SOLD FROM HERE ON OUT WILL EQUAL AN HOUR OF GROOMING ON OUR TRAILS! To give you an idea, it takes approximately 40-45 hours to groom all the BSGSA trails once.
If our trail pass sales do not go up, and the bank of hours in expired everything has to be revisited, or grooming may shut down.
GOAL: According to our numbers, we need to sell another 300-400 passes in our area to groom as we feel needs to be groomed for THE ENTIRE SEASON. That should be easy, our area historically sold 700-800 passes!
PASS THE WORD! We all know that there are/were skeptical people who were holding off on purchasing a pass. PLEASE tell these people we need thier passes BOUGHT WHERE THEY RIDE to equate to more hours on our trails. Be sure to put your area/postal code on your trail pass application!
GROOMING SHOULD START TOMORROW! The groomer arrives in Cold Brook first thing tomorrow morning, as does the paid operator. If weather and machinery cooperates, OUR TRAILS SHOULD BE IN GREAT SHAPE FOR THE WEEKEND!
Our club is looking for volunteers to help with brush cutting, signage installation, wood hauling to the shelters, etc. Trails cannot be groomed unless they are safe! If you are willing to lend a hand, PLEASE FORWARD YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION to bsgsapresident@gmail.com

BSGSA PARKING LOT PERMITS 2011/2012
Parking Permits for the BSGSA Parking Lot in Cold Brook for the 2011/2012 season will be available at local vendors in the Stephenville Area at a charge of $10.00. Vendor locations are GnR Recreation and M&F Motorsports on the Hansen Highway in Stephenville.
Purchase of BSGSA Parking Lot Permit is conditional on proof of ownership of 2011/2012 NLSF Trail Pass. Proof of NLSF Trail Pass Ownership must be provided to vendors either by way of showing NLSF receipt, or, Trail pass itself.
The BSGSA does not receive funds from NLSF Trail Passes anymore, so funds raised through the sale of the BSGSA Parking passes will be used for maintaining and upgrading the BSGSA parking lot, including lighting, snow clearing, expansion, etc.
Parking permit does NOT guarantee a parking spot in the lot, parking is first come first served for those who hold a permit.
