The Fundy Trailriders Snowmobile Club is located in Saint John and is
funded for the most part by the membership. Our club number is "30" And during
the snowmobiling season, we hold our regular monthly meeting on
Tuesday evening at 7:30 at the Three Mile Tavern. We invite you to take a look around our web
site. Here you will find everything from the correct time, the weather,
detailed and current information about our trails, up and coming events, and
a few of our club contacts - in case you are from out-of-town.
Also, welcomed are any bits of constructive
criticism that we will take into consideration and use to make this an even better web site.
Of course we also welcome (and appreciate) any compliments !
Again, Thanks for stopping by and we hope you will find whatever it is you are
looking for - and don't forget to sign our guestbook.
