I will say if the portion in bold is true, and confirmed as such, that would be enough for me to walk away as a volunteer if I was part of a club. It would also be enough for me to walk away as a permit purchaser. That doesn't sit well with me.   I can ride a lot of places without a permit and be just as happy at the end of the day at my age.

1000%

This should get bad. My opinion is this. All clubs quit OFSC en masse today.  Set up for next year as independent clubs Try and restructure the OFSC into something that works   No one should be buying an ealrybird perrmit and complain about revenues. Its a stupid idea to give a discount      

I was just at our local club meeting last night, which is a neighbour club to Glencoe, and heard some pretty bad stories about what the OFSC is doing. On Aug 5 the board of governors made the decision to reduce trails, with clubs finding this out on Aug 12., which was AFTER the deadline for submitting motions at the AGM, effectively giving the clubs NO VOICE to help shape or challenge the discussion. Never was a 25% reduction in funding considered. Our trail co-ordinator was even trying to talk to the CEO, suggesting that with the cutbacks in groomers that they are forcing through, that he would buy our groomer, and instead of the club only having access to 1 groomer (due to OFSC pulling the 2nd), he would keep it as a backup and fuel it, as long as the OFSC insurance covered it during grooming operations. That was turned down   And our trail co-ordinator has now received a letter from the CEO that is rather troubling, threatening him with legal action due to him approaching the ONLY PAID OFSC staff member who was in attendance at the Toronto show, and asking some serious questions.   Its about to get real ugly.
