The next regular meeting will be held at the Half-Shire Historical Society Bldg.
(the old school) in Richland, NY on Saturday, August 16, 2008 at 11 AM.
Correction: My mistake, there was a word missing in the following note and has been
corrected. All members of this club should stop to see what it costs to operate
this club. So if you don’t think you need to attend fundraisers such as rodeo’s,
car parking, etc., you shouldn’t think about riding the trails.

In addition to obeying the ATV laws and rules, it is wise to ride your ATV with
common sense and courtesy. Having fun on an ATV does not include annoying others
or taking foolish risks. ATV riders who ignore the rules and the rights of others
may cause ATV operation to be restricted or prohibited on private and public lands.
