(Note: At time of writing however Karl had declined to fulfil the role due to other commitments and no one had been appointed at the time of writing!).
HORSES USING TRAILS: Paul requested that Jeremy from GWRC supply 6 “No Horse” signs for the tracks– Borderline, Bull Run and also Bull a Varde. Members of BAMBA have witnessed horses using the trails when they should not be! Sings are required at start and ends of all trails currently in use! Jeremy was also to mention our concerns to Jenny Walsh from the Hill Road Pony Club just in case any of their group was possibly at fault although he doubted they were.
WHEELBARROW MISSING: Paul noted to the group that the wheelbarrow has now gone missing from the mid-section of Bull a Varde and asked if anyone else had it. No one present new of its where abouts also so it would appear it too has been stolen.
WORKING BEE: Ty mentioned BAMBA would hold a working bee on Sunday 8th March. Meet end of Normandale road at 10am. Plan is to cut overgrowth along Bull a Varde. Starting from near Bull Run entrance and work along to the Sweetacres entrance. It was decided this would not be advertised on the Web site or Facebook since would not be enough required grass cutting tools to do what is required. It was also mentioned that spraying of the mid-section and lower sections of Bull Run are required. If possible two people to do this. Ty will arrange with Jeremy the required gear etc. if it is to go ahead. Ty stated that once a good amount of rain has fallen Borderline rework will commence ASAP. Sections of the trail are in need of urgent work.
