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 2nd floor garage space.
