HI All
Well it looks like it is time to start our trail maintenance in Ministik.
We NEED – 8 – Volunteer’s for this Sunday November 11, 2012
Please call Brian at 780-437-4706 to get your name on the list for this weekend
We need 8 volunteers per work day below – again if you can make any date please call Brian and get your name on the list so we know who can make it.
We will be going into Ministik on the following dates:
November 11 - Sunday
November 17 - Saturday
November 18 – Sunday
November 24 – Saturday
November 25 - Sunday
Also if you are unable to make it on weekends call Brian and we can set up for a MID Week Trail Maintenance, we have many retired people and shift workers, so we can go out during the week also…
Just need a quad to start out with and then a sled as snows appear.
(If you would like to come out to help and do not have a quad call Brian so we can make sure we have enough seating for everyone)
The following is a basic outline of Trail Maintenance:

We NEED members on the Trail Maintenance List
New people are joining seasonally so feel free to call Brian at 780-437-4706 to join us anytime.
Every Wednesday we set up to see who is available for the upcoming weekend
On the days we do trail maintenance we usually follow this format:
Schedule:
9:00am - Meeting at Looma Esso Restaurant for breakfast / coffee – PAID for by TCSC
10:00am - Leave Looma Esso Restaurant and drive to the location closest to where the maintenance is.
10:30am - Unload the quads (summer) or sleds (winter).- Ready to head out and clear trails
12:00pm - Stop for lunch and rest
2:00pm - Shut down trail maintenance and ride for a while
3:30pm - Load up and head home, another great day...
So what is done during trail maintenance:
- Unload at various access points and ride into Ministik.
- Check the trails for any fallen trees, rocks, stumps etc that may interfere with grooming and riding.
- Clear the fallen trees on the Trail System with chainsaws, pole saw, clearing saws and even by hand.
- Install direction, indicators and warning signs.
- Fix fences that may have been cut over the season by some riders.
What do you need to bring to do Trail Maintenance???
Nothing!! Just you…
TCSC supplies the chain saws/ clearing saws and pole saws/safety glasses/safety chaps/safety helmets all contained in our Equipment Trailer and pulled by the trail head so you can just ride.
If you have a quad great bring it along also if you are more comfortable with your own chain saw you can bring yours.
TCSC supply the Saw gas and bar oil if you bring your own saws
If you do not have a quad but want to come out for the day call Brian and we can line you up to ride with someone
Also all volunteers are covered by the Alberta Snowmobile Associations Volunteer Death & Dismemberment Insurance package for $100,000.00.
Breakfast at Looma Esso at 9:00am
For 2011/12 season TCSC wishes to THANK our Volunteers by buying your breakfast at Looma Esso with the rest of the Trail Maintenance Crew
This is to say thanks but also for the Trail Maintenance Crew to get a chance to visit with each other and have a warm breakfast before heading out to the trails
So we will buy you a Breakfast Special – Bacon, Eggs, Toast, Coffee to a max of $7.00/person
BUT – you need to call Brian to get on the list so we can make sure we have 12 volunteers per day for the days tasks
(We prefer the “Many Hands Make Light Work” philosophy but also we cannot have too many people that it becomes unmanageable or dangerous with power saws)
Thanks
