Open discussion<\/p>\n

Spruce woods and treatment of volunteers.<\/p>\n

An open discussion brought to light some of the treatment of volunteers and the stress that this puts on them. DRM takes a no tolerrance to bullynig stance. Discussion suggested that complaints should be submitted to the board and, if possible, along with possible solutions. Complaints and grievances should go to the board to deal with in an appropriate manner.<\/p>\n

A facebook post will be made from the board based on the results of this discussion.<\/p>\n

    Darice stressed that we need to know numbers in advance so that we do not operate rides at a loss.<\/p>\n

    The 6 no-shows from Spruce Woods impacted the bottom line of the ride. However, we do not want to allow walk-ups again. Tricia pointed out that it\u2019s easier for everyone to pre-register and scratch than to register the night before.<\/p>\n

    Kara needs to let the board know where our ride registrations are so that Darice can try to drum up numbers. Wendy will be the board member to receive these updates and report to the rest of the board.<\/p>\n

    The Volunteers are covered for the Birds Hill ride.<\/p>\n

      Open Discussion on GPS and trail standards.<\/p>\n

      We invited \u201cD\u201d here as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) to consult on utilizing GPS technology to set standards in place for our trail maps.<\/p>\n

      Where could such files live? It was discussed that they could be hosted on the website and available to our members. There should be a PDF or image of the map to go with the GPX documents so that there is a visual map. We would also need file naming conventions and certain details for each map: Has to have mileage, image of the map, GPX, date created.<\/p>\n

      It was discussed that we should have D do a workshop for the club on how to use the AllTrails app. A possible date of July 23rd came up. Or perhaps a fall activity.<\/p>\n
