Started in 1987, the Airline Riders SC of Beddington is
back up and running after a few slow years. Based at the
Airline Snackbar on Rte 9, new President Frank Janusz and
his wife, Maryann, are helping the club get back on track.
The club holds meetings at the Airline Snackbar every second
Saturday at 5:00 p.m. at the clubhouse, 3752 Airline Road. The process has been started to add
more trails to the 35 miles now groomed by the club. The
Airline Riders have
already held one raffle and plan to hold others to raise funds for
more grooming equipment. Membership
has risen to 90 and is still growing. Everyone
is welcome at meetings. More information can be obtained at
546-1178.

New
year, new beginning. The Airline Riders Snowmobile
Club, incorporated in 1987, is undergoing a renewal and
rebuilding phase. We are happy to still have long time
members with us as well as many new ones, for a total so
far of 67. Frank and Maryann Janusz at the Airline Snack
Bar are helping to get things rolling, applying for grants and
working with folks on the state and local levels for
funding and other assistance. |
|
Our first big fundraiser of
this season is a raffle for a 10 in. Jiffy Ice Auger.
The drawing will be made when 300 tickets are sold. Tickets
are $5.00 each. Only 300 will be sold (see
Club News). The trails we have consist of about 36 miles
so far, and we are discussing with the state adding
another 20 or so for access to Alligator Lake for ice
fishing. Sledders have been enthusiastic and pleased
with trail conditions and very vocal in their
compliments. |
|
We are lucky to have
experienced trail groomers. Frank and Maryann Janusz have made it possible, with
help from club funds, to augment the club’s almost 20
year old machinery with a new groomer and sled. The new equipment
is a 2010 Skidoo Skantic, extra wide track, with a
V-800, 4 stroke engine and a commercial grade groomer
with power lift (see photo at center left). |
