28.02.08 - met with Steve Ayres from Forestry Commission
1. Weekly inspections. The trails must be inspected every week and report sent to Forestry. Each trail must be visually inspected and ridden to check condition. Minor repairs to be made if possible, or trail closed if not repairable there and then. This is not somethhing that can be ignored, regardless of the weather or whatever. 2. I.D Cards: In order for ID cards to be issued, mug-shots need to be taken. 3. Insurance: Policy must be in place before re-development. Time to dip into those pockets guys...the more of you willing to chip in, the cheaper it'll be. 4. Full Inspection: whole track needs to be checked and any problem areas noted, such as slippery surfaces on northshore and jumps. 5. Bank Account: needs to be opened asap. need Adam and Jon to come to bank with me to provide signatures and ID...so spare an hour on Wednesday and this box can be ticked finally. 6. Chainsaws: there are special provisos for chainsaw use. This is only relevant to myself and Krchton...copy of NPTC certificate must be provided to Forestry and PPE inspected. Other requests/rules also apply and will be discussed with Forestry later. 7. Felling: The planned thinning of the trail area is set to take place around August. Until this work has been completed, trail building is on stand-by. See note on planning the new trails. 8. Taunton Freeriders Meeting: We need to get everyone together ASAP to discuss the organisation and future of the Taunton Freeriders project. We can do this at my place, out on a ride or another venue if required, but it needs to be done within the next two weeks, so let everyone know and come up with a date and time. I emplore everyone to attend. continued in replies.... |

Someone has broken the lock and cut down a bunch of trees (badly). A large pine has been left resting on a branch of the oak tree by the northshore...please for your own safety stay well away from it. Do not under any circumstances approach it or walk beneath it. If anyone has any information about it or knows the identity of the culprit(s) please post or contact me directly in confidence. This kind of act pointless vandalism puts everyone in danger and jeopardizes the whole project. All tools have now been removed. No-one is permitted to build, or fell without insurance and prior written consent from the Forestry Commission and Taunton Freeriders. Anyone in breach of this may face prosecution.

Ok so its basically litter picking. Need a couple volunteers to help with a litter pick on and around the trails (including the fire tracks). There's quite a bit of rubbish up there at the moment and its starting to look a bit unsightly. Would like to get it done within the next couple weeks.
Do you find this valuable?
