August's Meeting


CLUB LOGO UPDATE
Last meeting we voted in a new club logo.
We are asking for inquires for another 'mass buy' of T-shirts
During the August we started collecting order for T-shirts. If you
did not make the August meeting and wish to order T-shirts please advise by
the 14th of August. We also discussed the cost of the T-shirts.
A 'flat' $10 was decided. That will be enough for Michael to break even
and the club to make a few bucks. $10 for a 'TNT' T-shirt - such a deal.

50/50 CHARITY RAFFLE
Tripp won the 50/50 raffle
Cynthia won a $10 Advance Auto Gift Card - Thanks Bud

August 22- Durhamtown-Tellico in Murphy NC
September 5 - Marty Jones' great nephew first birthday party in Wellford SC

TNT STORE
The TNT store is OPEN
We do have a few extra green shirts and tan shirts available.
We are planning another 'mass buy' with the new logo in middle August
for delivery in middle September (ready for Dixie Run)

       Following an early departure from the Lowes in Seneca at 7:30a.m
       then off Murphy NC and trail riding at Durhamtown-Tellico.
       Trail Rating = slightly above stock, there are a few rocks we will negotiating

       Festivities start around 3:00p.m. Bring a side dish, drinks and chairs

       The following is a rough idea on how to get there:
       North on I-85 and left at exit 66 toward Hwy 29 south (Wellford)
       take a right "to 292" and left onto 292.. Up 292 for a little over a mile
       and left onto Waspnest then around 1.3 miles to 671 Waspnest
       down the 1/4 mile driveway and your are there.


·        September 24 - 27 - SWFDA's 29th Dixie Run at Golden Mountain (Sparta TN)

       trails inside the Golden Mountain Park and 'out of park' excursions to some local vistas, Rock Race, and a huge raffle.
       Trail rating = any vehicle, depending on which classification of trail rides you choose.
       TNT will be leading Easy/Moderate rides on Friday afternoon
       If you plan on going, then registar at the SFWDA website (http://www.sfwda.org/dixierun).
       We will base camp at the Days Inn in Crossville TN (exit 287 off of I-40) which is only 12 miles from the event.

       Off of Hwy 119 we will stop and explore the Wilderness Trail Off-Road Park.
       Base camp will be the Mtn Aire Hotel in Harlan (1-800-988-4660).
       Make your reservations soon and prepare for two days of wheeling.
       Trail Rating = A minimum of '3 wheel drive' is required. If your open front and rear,
