A Note from our
Vice President
Hi. My name is Bruce Hope and I'm the Vice-President of the Hanover-Neustadt
Snowmobile Club. I'd like to extend greetings to all our site visitors,
members and non-members alike. I've been snowmobiling for about twenty-five
years now and have been an active member of the HNSC since 1992. Prior to
that, I was a member of the Neustadt Snow Angels before they joined with
Hanover. How many remember that? My wife is also an avid snowmobiler as
well as our three kids. My oldest just turned twelve and is bugging me to
get her licence.
My message to all of you is that snowmobiling is a wonderful way to enjoy
winter. There is breathtaking scenery, meeting old friends and making new
ones, friendly brand bashing and just plain getting away from it all. It
also makes for great family outings. There's nothing more exhilirating than
heading out on freshly groomed trails for a day of fun-filled riding. It's
also great to be able to stop in at the clubhouse to warm up and enjoy a
hot chocolate or cheeseburger from our kitchen. We at the HNSC take great
pride in our trails, our clubhouse and our membership. They are second to
none.
Great trails, a warm clubhouse with heated washrooms and full kitchen don't
come without hard work and money however. We owe it all to our dedicated
volunteers who put in countless hours building and maintaining our trails,
our clubhouse and this website. Funds that we raise keep the lights on,
pay taxes, insurance, trail stakes, general upkeep etc,etc,etc. The list
goes on and on. We also like to help out by giving something back to the
community. Check out the donations to HARC and Walkerton and District Community
Living.
We are always looking for more volunteers to help out. Especially in the
kitchen on weekends. We love to keep it open all weekend, but there are
only so many people with so few hours to spare. We will do our absolute
best to keep the kitchen open. If you can help in any way, please contact
us.
Take a few minutes to browse our site. If you have any ideas, comments,
questions.... contact us. Also if you have any stories or pictures (snowmobile
related) that you would like posted, send them in. On behalf of the Hanover-Neustadt
Snowmobile Club, I'd like to wish everyone a happy and safe riding season.
LET IT SNOW!!!!!!!!!! Bruce

2010 POKER RALLY A SUCCESS
I want to thank everyone once again for a very successful poker
ride this year. We had over 170 entrants and I'd swear there were
that many sleds outside the clubhouse in the morning. WOW. The
weather was great and so were the trails considering the hammering
they took over the day. Once again thanks for your support. More
details along with pictures will be coming soon.

Hanover/Neustadt
Snowmobile Club Supports
Farmers Feed Cities Campaign
(click
here)
We are supporting our farmers and re-routing where necessary.
Weather permitting, the winter sport will
go on in our grooming area and we
will accommodate the needs and concerns of our landowners. Many
are
snowmobilers themselves and find snowmobiling a great way to socialize
with
their neighbours throughout the winter season. They have worked
their lands
for three seasons and deserve a way to relax come winter. Snowmobiling
is
truly a great winter sport that was founded by farmers to provide
a safe
and enjoyable trail network in order to protect their properties
by advising
local clubs and trail builders that certain fields are used for
trails and
other fields are to be avoided. Each season sees re-routing to
one degree
or another, be it a crop rotation or just a change to make a link
more
straightforward. Co-operation is essential for it to work for
all involved.
We ask that snowmobilers buy a permit to
support the sport, and in all
circumstances stay on the marked trail. This will ensure a trail
network
for our future.
RESPECT -the land on which you are travelling
this winter
-the efforts the local clubs are establishing with the
landowners
-the volunteers...better yet, respect yourself and volunteer
with us...
help is always needed and appreciated !!!

Storm
hits hard February 2006
In less than 24 hours we finally got the snow that everyone was
hoping for.
It hit so hard it was a total shock
to the volunteers , who thought the trails were ready to go. Trees
had fallen and the groomer had a hard time making a pass without
the drag. Volunteers worked frantically to get the trails in shape.
A BIG THANK YOU
goes out to all those involved in getting the trails ready to
ride on.
If you would like to volunteer
Please contact.
