SCARR was a huge success with 89 trucks and 160 people.

Please reply to Christopher’s post on suggestions how we can improve SCARR 09.
Here are few suggestions mentioned at the meeting:
• One suggestion someone made is to hold the Raffle in the center of the Pavilion
• Everyone enjoyed having one raffle ticket in the registration packet to give each registered participant an opportunity to win a prize
• Everyone enjoyed the sack lunch and like to have it again for next year
• Agreed to close the park again for SCARR 09
• Someone who does not own a LR may only attend SCARR if that individual is a friend of a current paid TR member and they must pay the registration dues. Possibly, pay TR membership as well.
• People agreed currently that SCARR should be held at Barnwell Mountain

Minutes: we had 6 members and some guests.
Dealer wheels event and Boulder Creek were discussed. One possibility that Paul will propose to the park is that we volunteer as a club to help be park rangers. There were a number of people interested in that possibility who would volunteer to do that.

Reminded everyone whose membership has expired to please renew your membership. The money we collect on new membership and renewal helps the club out. A reminder that renewals only bring your membership as current as your next renewal anniversary date – for example if you are 11 months overdue and renew, you will expire in 1 month, not 12 months.

Request for volunteers for the registration desk at SCARR, please send me a private message, email or reply to post.

The Board of TMTC and BRMA have announced additional sign in requirements for people planning to visit Barnwell with children other than their own.

***This will apply to SCARR as well. If you wish to take one of your children's friends, your Grandkids or a child with a different surname and you are not the parent or legal guardian you MUST have a notarized document saying that you have the parents permission to take the child off road and that you have the parents consent to have medical care prescribed if required. The club will post the Parental Consent Form later in the week.***

**IF YOU ARE BRINGING A CHILD THAT IS NOT YOUR OWN, YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE CHILD PERMISSION FORM FROM THE FRONT PAGE OF THE WEBSITE AND HAVE IT SIGNED BY THE CHILDS PARENT AND NOTORIZED ++BEFORE++ YOU COME TO SCARR**

Reminded everyone the SCARR Waiver will need to be signed and will be witness by a Texas Rover member working the registration table.

Land Rover Dallas will be holding its next Wheels Event at Rough Creek Lodge on Sunday May 4th The DFW Chapter voted to agree to clean up the trails out there prior to this event in exchange for an increased donation for SCARR from the Snell Group. Therefore we are looking for volunteers to help clean up trails the weekend of April 26/27. Please remember we made a commitment to provide bodies to do this, so we are looking for as much help as we can get.

Club business came to a close at 8:15. The meeting/social gathering continued outside parking lot.

Member Present: Craig Braswell, Jim and Vangie Edson, Farah Ghnein, Chris Kelly, Mike Law, Steve (DFW-VP) and Tanner McCullough, Joshua Moses, Darrell Oliver, Christopher Pullen (President), Arto Pullinen, Darrell Richter, Sean Sweeney, Laura Shacklette (DFW- Events Coordinator)

Steve, the VP opened the meeting at 7:35 PM wishing everyone a Happy New Year, and the following topics were discussed:

January 26th – Club will be going out to the City of Bridgeport to build trails at the Northwest Park from 9:00-4:00. Everyone is to meet at the Sonic at 287 & 380 in the City of Bridgeport at 8:45 to drive to the park as a group. He emphasized the importance of bringing chainsaws, hand saws, trimmers, etc. and there is a lot of work to be done to the park.

Early Registration for SCARR is from January 1st – March 14th, 2008. Register early to avoid the late fee (after March 15th) of $35.00.

Texas Rovers has rented out the entire park exclusively for SCARR 2008 - by doing this we have been able to extend the rally from 3 days to 4 days. Also, we have rolled all of the fees - SCARR + Barnwell Daily use fees + camping, etc. into one single SCARR fee.
You will NOT have to pay any additional fees when you arrive at the park.
For the Driver ($80 member/$95 non-member) this fee will cover the park rental, T-shirt, and 2 meals for the driver.
Passenger fee ($25) covers the meals and T-shirt for passenger.

Children under 12 are free and their meals are covered by sponsorship money, however, T-shirts are extra for the under 12 if they would like one.

It’s actually a good deal, if you compare it to last year’s for two people:
I paid $50 to Texas Rovers + $25 ($15+5+5) in daily use fees to Barnwell + ~$15 in camping fees = ~$90 for three days. This year I pay $105 for 4 days + an extra meal - an extra $15 for 1 more day is well worth it.

The Events Coordinator discussed the following upcoming Events and topics:

January 26th - Northwest Park in Bridgeport, Texas “Build a Trail”

February 8th - 10th – Barnwell’s Run with “Newbie Training” on Saturday

SCARR 08 (South Central Area Rover Rally) April 17th-20th at Barnwell Mountain in Gilmer, Texas

OKoffroad, a proud SCARR Sponsor will offer free shipping on select merchandise ordered January 7th - April 16th, 2008. You may visit their site at www.okoffroad.com.

Volunteers: The importance of plenty of volunteers was stressed to help make SCARR a huge success. The following are where volunteers are still needed:

Registration Table: 8 volunteers needed - two hours of your time. Please contact Steve by email/private message if you can volunteer an hour or two at the registration table.

Obstacle Course: Pre-Run to assist Robert in the cleaning and maintenance of the trails as well help at the event on Friday. Please contact Robert Fleming by email/private message if you can volunteer some time on the obstacle course.

Club business came to a close at 8:00. The meeting/social gathering continued inside BJ’s due to the very cold inclement weather until 9:30.
