Monthly Meeting - June 27 2017
Our next monthly meeting will be held on June 27th at 7:30pm at the Lake & Shore Community Rec Centre. For those who do not know where this is, it is in the School off the Porter Connector near the #107 hwy in Porters lake, 20 minute drive from Dartmouth on the #107. All welcome.

IMPORTANT - Pipeline along Old Guysborough Rd
The trail at the Rifle Range is now blocked please do not try to go around it also DO NOT go down the road to the Rifle Range itself. ATVers are going on the range while shooting is taking place and causing a very dangerous situation. If there is a gate it is there for a reason, respect landowners rights and stay on trails. More to follow on this.

2017 Marine Riders Election Wrap Up
Marine Riders Executive and Director elections are in the books for another year. Who is doing what? Here is a fill list of all positions and who is filling them:
2017 Marine Riders ATV Club Executive
President: Jim Crowell
Vice-President:
Past-President: Richard Ward
Treasurer: Marty Jefferies
Secretary: Marty Jefferies
Big thanks to Richard!
As many of you know already, Richard Ward will not be re-offering as President of the Marine Riders due to personal reasons. Over the past couple of years Richard has gone above and beyond in his roll as President of the Marine Riders with such things as acquiring updated LOAs for our main trails in the Porters Lake area and a lot of the ground work that has been required to get the approval for the bridges that we need to get our trail system usable again.
