In recent days it has been brought to the Clubs attention that an Argo has been stopped on the CP trail in Grey County. A female Warden approached this Argo driver and informed him that Argo's are not allowed on the trail. What wasn't know at the present time was this person is a Trapper. A phone call was placed directly to the Trapper and he was very satified with the way the Warden handled the situation. He was informed that we will educate our Wardens concerning the Trappers as well, since this is the first one we have been in contact with. He asked how he could open the gate up and make it easier for him and was informed to contact Grey County office and obtain a key to use. Any user of the CP line approved can obtain the key needed to open up the gate to let them through by contacting Grey County office in Owen Sound. In the near future a key will be required to open gates to Shelburne for all local users as well. |

Dufferin County and Dufferin Grey ATV have been given permission to install 15 galvanized gates between Dundalk and Shelburne to eliminate unauthorized use of the CP rail trail. Michael Stabling Development Inc of Williamford has been awarded the contract to design these gates and produce them to match the gates of Grey County. The two organizations will be working together to get all the gates installed by the middle of July. The first step is to have Locator mark the trail for Telephone, Hydro or anyother underground users of rail bed. Then the big foots will be installed before the post are inserted. Within a couple of weeks of post being installed the gates will be installed and locked closed. In the fall they will be opened for the Snowmobile organization to use for the winter month. Should a occupier or farmer require to be on the CP line for farm use between these new gates they are asked to contact the office of Dufferin County and get the combination to locks. |

Dufferin Grey ATV Club would like to invite you to join them in celebrating "Summer Solstice" or the beginning of Summer. This will be an evening fun ride departing from 205 Main Street West Markdale (County Road 12 West) around 5:00 pm. We will travell for a ride around some of DGATV trails then stop for a bon fire evening before heading back to our trailors around 10. Bring some bon fire goodies like marshmallows and hot dogs or any other snack you would like since we will not be going passed any locations to purchase after leaving town. You should not require extra gas on this run, however, always good idea to have on you just in case. Day passes will be available if required; as well as memberships. Please join us to celebrate the Summer Solstice. |

On the Saturday night a special show of the "chains" which is three cars tied together. The front has the motor, the middle has nothing and the rear car has the brakes. Every exciting race. At intermission the ATV's will leave the Pit area and ride around the track proudly displaying their club banner. This is a very exciting event for the ATV's to partake in.
