Summer Campout @ Vista Royale in Bancroft

 

For those club members that are interested in camping, the PSOS have held a campout for the last several years at Vista Royale in Bancroft.  We again have tentative plans to be at Vista Royale the weekend of June 13-15 (Father’s Day Weekend).  This has normally been an excellent time for club members to get together and relax.  We need to finalize the details at the May general membership meetings.   We have at least three (3) couples that are planning to attend.  We would certainly welcome any other club members that are interested in camping and having a good time.  Please call Brian or Diane Fitzpatrick @ 341-0601 for details.    

Portage County Snowmobile Map

The Portage County Snowmobile Alliance is asking that each club assign one or two members to be on the committee for the new map.  At the PSOS March meeting we had at least one member expressed interest in being on the committee.   Ideally two (2) members would be great.  It is not hard and it is not time consuming.  Give us some help!!

There are pictures from our 2008 club trip to Holiday Acres in Rhinelander.  We had a great time.  

 

Corridor 15 @ Smiley’s

 

We would like to consider having access to Smiley’s from the east immediately off the corridor.

I strongly believe they would derive more business with better access and properly placed signs. 

We may need a volunteer to work with the Arnott club and the affected landowners.          

 

Club Outings 2009

 

Give some thought if we want to return to Holiday Acres in Rhinelander or what else we may have for choices.  We need to make a decision, and book early in the fall.  Do we also want to return to Pine Ridge of Wautoma for a weekend?   Club members and friends had an excellent time at both places.
