Hey fellow sledheads! There has been a lot of needed work done to the Washburn Trail Runners Clubhouse. None of this would be possible without dedicated volunteers, dues paid by our members and donations.

Photos in comments.

Here is a more detailed report by our devoted club president.

WASHBURN TRAIL RUNNERS SNOWMOBILE CLUB

We as a Club have had a busy summer. Achievements this summer include the following:

a. All of the building’s west side roof was replaced with new roofing materials.

b. After five years, the the fire wall between the dining area and the groomer garage was completed.

c. After an estimated 15+ years, the kitchen and dining areas were painted (ceilings and walls) and the woodwork was also addressed.

Memberships and any contributions are welcomed.

Appreciated

Herm Belanger, President

The big question.....
What is the answer to bringing younger folks into the clubs?

If you pay attention, the average age of club members is getting older.

Please feel free to leave a comment or suggestion.

If your club has appealed to younger riders and they have joined, please share what you did.

It's a delicate situation that is affecting all clubs. All clubs appreciate their dues paying members. The funds are what keeps facilities and equipment operating.

However, those volunteer hours dedicated to the work required to obtain landowner permission and then establish and maintain a positive relationship with those landowners is very important to everyone that enjoy the trails.

To members of all clubs, thank you for your membership.

If you can, please give some of your time to keep this sport alive.

And encourage fellow riders to respect our landowners.
