This association was formed by the following snowmobile clubs: Maple Leaf Snowmobile Club, Oshawa; Long Sault Ridge Runners, Oshawa; Independent Order of, Foresters, Oshawa; Sturgeon Lake Snowmobile Club; Great Pin Ridge Snowmobile | Club, Cobourg; Durham Trail Riders, Brooklin; Ajax Snowmobile Club, Ajax; West Shore Boat & Marine Snowmobile Club, Port Perry; and the Port Perry Snowmobile Club Incorp. of Port Perry. i These Clubs wanted to help make snowmo- biling safer by helping join all snowmobile trails § together thus marking and grooming the trails in their area. This network of trails hopefully will eliminate the use of snowmobiles from all roads, 'thus making snowmobiling much safer. This will take more than one season to accomplish but when completed we will have a network of trails that will take anyone in the area almost anywhere. It is in future planning that a snowmobiler will be able to leave his home and travel on marked and groomed trails, as well as he able to stop at a motel etc., for the night then continue on his way. This won't happen overnight. It'll take hard work and as many clubs as are interested in i helping. Any clubs that are not already members are welcome to join this newly formed associa- tion. Information on joining this association can be obtained from any of the clubs in the association. i oF Yours truly, Pete Hurd, Secretary, C. 0. R. S.
