camping support-please read

["John & Sue Greenall" <greenall@vermontel.com>]

For anyone who has allowed distance riders to camp on or near your 
property, please read on.

The GMHA 100 mile ride is the oldest 100 in the country.  Many of you 
have ridden it and many more heard of it.  It is a great ride, with 
one exception.  Overnight camping has not been allowed on GMHA 
grounds for over twenty years.  Why?  Years ago the grounds were 
rented out to a Morgan show and they whooped it up.  Understandably, 
the neighbors were not happy, but we have been suffering since.  This 
puts a hardship on our riders as they have to find housing which is 
expensive and a far drive.  Dr. Heather Hoyns is heading a committee 
to persuade the selectmen to allow camping for trail rides by 
permit.  We understand some of the neighbors are going to object.  We 
would like to go into the meeting next Wed. armed with letters 
stating that camping occurs on or near  properties and that distance 
riders are responsible and quiet campers.  Please state the name of 
the ride, the date and the location, how many campers there are, who 
the ride manager is and any other pertinent information you consider 
appropriate.  Thank you for your support!!!!!
