Hello All of Oregon's OHV Leaders, I first apologies if you again are getting this notice for the planning of the Oregon Recreation Coalition/Oregon State Parks OHV Conference, in Bend on Oct 17 & 18. As indentied leaders of clubs within the state, Oregon State Parks is offering Friday night accomidations to those that can respond ASAP. I have only heard from a dozen leaders so far, and time is running out in reserving a facility, and in making reservations. I had a meeting with Oregon State Parks Ron Price, Mike Law, and John Lane last week on getting this conference going, and we need your input now. We are hoping to bring at least a couple of club leaders from every club from around the state to discuss a number of key issues.
These issues and agenda are being developed, but so far ideas have been Legal updates on State SB-101 rules, Safety update, Sound Meter usage & hands on training, Grant application Workshop, Grant Reporting, OHV future trends, Trail Maint Discussions (what clubs are where), Legislative goals, Rider Fit Demo, Possible review of the new on-line Class I & III testing, Dealing with USFS NEPA Reports, Door Prizes, etc.
We are currently looking at a rough time-line with a Friday afternoon check-in, dinner, with maybe a class or two on Friday. Start Saturday Morning with breakfast and classes till having a final lunch...it could end here, or a organized trail ride in the afternoon, with then maybe even another dinner Saturday Night...if sponsored. If one covered their own room costs for Saturday Night.....other state orgs could have Sunday to have meetings, etc., it is just that State Parks will not plan anything on a Sunday.
For the good of OHV'ing in our state, we need your club to get involved, after all, you are the leaders of OHV Recreation for this state. Please respond back soon.
***Thank-you***Randy***
