18 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Oct. 5, 1977 Sports a ae Snowmobile Club one Did you know that one of the larger clubs of Ontario is the Port Perry Snow- mobile Club? Last year their members totalled 138 families and 15 single mem- berships, made up of Judoka to represent province Sue Gribben, a former student at Port Perry High School, will represent On- tario in the Second Annual Canadian Women's Judo Championships later this month. Sue holds a Black Belt, first degree, and she will be in competition against the best female Judokas from across Canada She is at present the Canadian and British Open Champion. Judo obviously runs in the Gribben family as Sue's father Bill, of Port Perry, holds a Black Belt, second degree. The Canadian Champion- ships will be held October 29 at Donevan Collegiate in Oshawa. members from all walks of life but who had one com- mon interest. Snowmobil- ing. They have general mem- bership meetings each month to discuss past and future events, and they are an active group! Not only in winter but summer as well. For instance, weekly trail rides in the wintet, sometimes with as many as 24 machines taking part or Sunday afternoon cook-outs provided by their club when' adults and children alike enjoy the sport. How about their numerous dances or weekends north to a lodge? Not to be outdone, summer finds them family picnicing or having fun playing base- ball against other clubs. The club originated in 1969 and is a member. of the Centreal Ontario Regional Snowmobile Association ahd the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs, which in turn broadens their scope and events. Each year club e of la delegates are sent to the 0.F.S.C. Convention, last year in Sault Ste. Marie and this year '78, it will be held in Barrie. Several members have also taken part in. Whipper _ Watson's annual 'Snowa- rama. This is a 100 mile run with the pledges receiv- ed going. towards Timmy and crippled children. They say it's a lot of fun but you're slightly stiff next day (sometimes from the slushy snow condition.) This year, Rh one of the 100 mile runs will take place in the Port Perry area with our local club right in the thick of it. It's a know fact that in- discriminate snowmobiling over private land is fast drawing to an end and these club members are doing their best to overcome this problem by. having land- owner agreements for their trails. These marked trails are maintained by their own members and at last word Bd cm argest | in Ontario every effort is being made ¥ to build up good relations with the rightful owners of these trails, that is, the farmer or tenant himself. Hopefully their efforts will not be abused by snow- mobilers who do not belong to a club. There can be a great deal of pleasure in association with a recognized club. The benefits are many and the snowmobiling rewards ond less.
