this is a sample of the ballot being sent to all members

For the members:

Should MGRS purchase a trailer to transport and store the club assets (cost not to exceed $2500)?

 

YES                           NO 

Positives for purchasing a trailer:

            Keeps all the track and components in an easy to use condition (carrying the material up and down stairs is serious work that is not shared among all the members)

            Ensures all the assets are on site when setting up (Setup in North Berwick at the Mill Field Festival required a few trips to members houses to get track and supplies)

            Any member can tow the trailer with club contents (presently a few members go to the President’s house and load his truck with the equipment and some even go back after the event to unload his truck)

            Allows for stowage of all the track and components at any members house (now stored at the Presidents house above his garage)

            Trailer can be sold if no longer required

           

Negatives for NOT purchasing a trailer:

            Registration cost every 2 years $100

            Insurance costs yearly $300

            Liability for the person towing the trailer (trailer and trailer contents)

            Large outlay of funds for a trailer for transportation and stowage:

         (1) transportation to event setups:  3 scheduled events in the last year required a lot of assets from the club to be on site: Maine Mall, Strive at the Cross Arena and the North Berwick Mill Field Festival 

                     (2) stowage of clubs assets at other than Presidents 2^nd floor garage space.
