Dear Members
Elections were held at our last meeting and a motion was made by our former
president Roger Bickford to keep the same slate of officers. Everyone accepted
or didn’t object to returning this coming years so your stuck with us again. I
would like to see a better turn out for our election and meeting so we can come
up with better ideas to keep the club going in the future.
If you didn’t make it you missed one of the best Bean Supper and Land Owners Dan & Linda Parlin
appreciation Evenings ever on October 18th. We had the most land owners we
ever had and one of our largest public turn out. It was great to see the support and a special thanks to all of the people that made this a successful event! See you in Jan when we have our first Bean Supper of 2015!

The Speed limit on Rte. 201(Maine St) and in residential areas like Bay Park and Topsham
Crossing is 15MPH to help keep dust and noise to a minimum.
While riding please wear proper protective equipment and keep speeds at a safe level. Ride Smart, Ride Safe, Ride Sober. Again, if you’re out on the trail please bring a pair of clippers or even a small saw to help cut back the new growth
from the summer. Every snip helps.
Thanks
Charlie
