Yes, I'm supposed to be there but instead I got shipped out of town for work.
They are just in the initial stages of getting setup, but much like a snowmobile club its power in numbers, all club memberships will be reported to the AOHVA (Alberta Off Highway Vehicle Association) to go to the government with.
The meeting started at 7:30 at Muir Lake hall, the club is called the Yellowhead Overlanders ATV Society. I will be trying to get more information on this club to all of the Snowandmud.com members.

17 is a not bad turnout. I found out about the club at the Boat & Sportsman show.
Any word on if they are planning trails?

First you guys have heard about the AOHVA???
Are you serious?
Fack, our sport (outdoor recreation) is doomed...
Funny you guys up north are shocked are area restrictions / closures. Welcome to the $*it show. Now do something about it.

I thought AOHVA had there own Crap fest last year? Havnt heard much about them since. They had a small club at the sportsman show didnt look like much. I think they only had a few clubs. All riders seem to not care much. To bad the sport will suffer and the results will affect snowmobiling in the future. We are all motorized in the governments eyes even if we are totally different. JMHO

I got some info from them at the sportsmen show, I'll share what I know tonight at the Ft Sask meeting.

I'm not sure which crap fest you are talking about, but there is one crapfest I'll refrain from commenting about.
At the end of the day, no matter who they serve or favour, the AOHVA receives the majority of off-road funding and sponsorship to implement changes, controls, and trail sustainability structures. How they disperse these funds has been under debate. At the end of the day they remain a major player in the fight to keep our areas open.

Don't think we were talkin about the AOHVA.We were talkin about a new club trying to get started in the Yellowhead region.Can't speak for anyone else but I'm a member of the AOHVA.

Lets see some projects that are ongoing and still working. How much funding goes into trails? Just a couple of questions
I can't speak for the AOHVA, however our motorcycle club has done many things with the funding we've received including muskeq mats, up and overs (fences), bridges both dragged/trailered in, and heli'd in, and GPS mapping of trails for the SRD.
The funding would surprise you. It's in the hundred of thousands of dollars yearly I believe. Motorcycles got a fraction of this percentage. When I talk fraciton, I mean like a very small fraction.
Like I said, I'm not up to date on firm numbers and statistics. It's best you find out for yourself which, although hard to find on the webpage, SHOULD be all public.
This is the ch!t fest I was talking about last year: – Alberta Off Highway Vehicle Association (AOHVA) special general meeting Sunday, Nov. 22, in Rocky Mountain House. All RMDRA members encouraged to attend to help facilitate an open and constructive working relationship with the AOHVA.
I agree with being fair and what they did was completely wrong.
