CONGRATULATIONS!! At this years annual SAM's members of our club recieved 2 awards. First "Snowmobiling family of the year" went to the Millers, Jeff, Marsha and Molly are not only busy year round in our club they are also busy with activities within SAM's. Jeff is the treasurer and Marsha is the Chair of the Charity section while Molly is part of the Youth of SAM's just to name a few of the things that they do. The other was "Groomer of the year" who was presented to Bob Mason. Bob and his wife Teresa (our current vice president), since becoming part of our club has always helped out with work bee's and grooming. Over the past 2 years he has funded and built up his Geo tracker to be a groomer and "broke the trail" on getting the project of building a mini-truck groomer going. Thanks and congratulations to them all and to all that help out thruout the year to those that keep our trails open and our club growing!
"Keep the Rubber side down" and I hope to see you at the golf tourny on July 7th, even If you don't play, sign up and come enjoy a steak dinner!

Over the past few years our club has grown in so many ways. Trails have been widened, bridges have upgraded and added to make our trails more enjoyable and safer and we have some good sleds and groomers that keep our trails in great shape. Last year Bob Mason put together a geo tracker and a groomer and showed us the way to the next level of grooming. I am excited to say that over the summer, with some creative wheeling and dealing, the club has purchased a mini-truck. Its less than 5 feet wide, 4 wheel drive and can be used for trail maintenance during the fall and then with a set of tracks so we can use it for grooming. Sound good so far, are you now looking forward to even better groomed and maintained trails then we have ever had before? Well this is where you can all help and maybe even get lucky too. All we need to do is raise the money to purchase the tracks, so we are doing a 20/20 raffle. Tickets are only $20 a piece, we award 20 prizes, and only sell 200 of them. The top prize is $500 and range down to $50. We will be drawing all the winners at our swap meet on Nov 13Th. For the price of a half tank of gas for your sled, you have a 1 in 10 chance to win a prize in the raffle and if we sell all the tickets you have a 100% chance to enjoy better trails! Its a Win - Win situation! Check out our Facebook page and our picture section here on our web page for pics and updates our progress . To purchase tickets, and We can deliver! OR to help us sell them contact Jeff Miller at 413-522-0796 or Brad Stafford at 413-374-4201 or mail your payment with your name and mailing address to BGL snowmobile club, 241 West Leyden Road, Leyden Mass 01337 BGL Golf Tourny update Dear club members, This years tourney was a huge success!
