I was at the meeting last night and I wnated to digest the information and sit back for an evening and think about how I can help.
A majority of people wanted to hold a rally that would bring the quad/bike/truck communities together so we can fight GAMP as a united front. The suggestion was to have it at a gymnasium where people can get together and we can put up booths around the outside and hopefully as a group we can find 2-3 things that we can all agree on and take those issues adn go as a united front as an action against GAMP.
Now I have a suggestion, it may be good or not, but, I was thinking we gotta make it fun, so that people bring out there families and everyone is in a positive mood and it gets us doing something we all love, spending time offroading. I suggest that we do a camping weekend, with BBQ at Maclean Creek (because Waiporious will just be negative right now). We can set up an information setting in one of the cookhouses in the staging areas, and we can have a rally/meeting right after a BBQ one evening. The advantage I see to this, is you will get people in one area, you will get there undivided attention, because they will be sitting down to eat and you can start a discussion very similar to the one last night, you have the cook houses to showcase any kind of booths and information packages that we want to present, as well, we will also attract the people that are out there that weekend, that may not know much or anything at all about GAMP.
We should be able to get key representatives from the trucks/quads/bikes that can briefly speak and maye we can do some good at getting all the groups to agree to put any differences aside and get this GAMP issue resolved now.
I am prepared, to get the ball rolling on an event like this, I will need support however, because I freely admit that I jsut do not have contacts that a lot of people have.
THe first thing I would like to know is:
1. Do we want to do this??
and if so
2. When do we want to do this??
**CLARIFICATION**
I am thinking very much of running this similar to a cleanup day, random camping available at the gravel pit the night before and after, have everyhting setup in the cookhouse for information by 8:00am as this is before most wheelers are entering the area, and put up a few signs at the store and at the major trail heads saying what and where we are doing this.
