---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few facts that should be shared, 5 years ago our club was over $10,000.00 in debt, paying the previous years lease with the current year's money, with hard work and reduced spending, in 5 years we have paid ALL DEBT IN FULL, paid to become incorporated and have about $6000.00 in our account. I agree that the trails have suffered and some maintenance neglected but I'd say things aren't too bad , actually I'd say we've achieved a lot . Thanks to all for a job well done.
