wannago Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Well Big Red, although I have never snowmobiled in your area, but I have talked to many who have and they all say I should make the trip there and I would if I could get the time to do so. With that being said I would definetely like to help you guys out so all you need to do is to PM me your mailing address for the club and the name of the club to make the cheque out to and I will donate $500.00 towards your unrelentless quest for the trails to be the best that you can make them for the rest of the season. - Bill What a generous offer, thanks from all of us that love to go north to ride those awesome trails.

skidooer Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Just goes to show that you do not need to wait until the OFSC raises the permit price if you feel that you can afford to spend more than $180/230 to help out the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14 snow Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I'd like thank Bill for his kind donation. I have ridden in D-Ville and spent some time with Big Reg and I know the challenges they (and many small clubs) face. For 2 guys, Reg and Luc are ambassadors of the sport and would give the shirts off their backs to help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINNDIAN Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 To help explain the Northern Clubs lack of $$$ here is the Wawa permit sales comparison for early feb (and we are better off than some). I will post an updated one later. I'm not sure what can be done as we've had a banner winter this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Are you telling us that 803 people quit sledding since 2000 or are you saying that 803 people quit buying permits from your club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbill Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Our demographic is ageing . It wasn't that long ago that we had 120,000 permits now I have been told around 80,000 maybe 90,000 this year . Yet our costs continue to rise and we have not been able to increase the price of a permit.. I wonder how long this can continue. Truth is that there are less folks riding . I would love to see the sled sales numbers from 1987-now compared to permit sales . It might make an interesting graph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINNDIAN Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Are you telling us that 803 people quit sledding since 2000 or are you saying that 803 people quit buying permits from your club? I think some quit sledding and some arent' travelling to sled anymore. I believe All clubs are seeing a reduction, some more than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Bill, very generous offer. Thanks! Our northern OC members have always been good to us. What I see now is that we still need $500 to keep the trails groomed and open! I too have never been on those trails, but I sure do hope to get there soon and enjoy the Great White North hospitality! So if ten of us send $50, or 20 of us send $25, they will have what they need! Big Reg, send me a PM and I will send you $50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
