Thunder Chickens Safety Course

This season we hosted two safety classes as there was more demand than classes available.  Between the two classes we certified close to 80 students.  The Certified Instructors were David Rouleau,Mark Reaves, Pam Massey and Kevin Collins.  Thanks to Washington County Sheriff Dept and BT EMS for helping with law enforcement and trailside emergency chapters.  Also thanks to Barre Town School for use of their facility, Subway of Barre and Domino's pizza for providing our lunches and Montpelier Rec. Dept for assisting us with pre-registration.  Also to the "behind the scenes" crew that help make things run smoothly, Jillian and Kristin Rouleau, Dana Robinson, Leslie Newton.  Thanks to the parents/students in the group sharing information and making these some of the most interactive course to date.  Congratulations to all and we look forward to seeing you on the trails.   Please contact David at 476-7732 to inquire about home study options and having the test administered by a certified instructor.    Check back next fall for class offerings for the 2010-2011 season.

The Class is free of charge and the club will provide you lunch.
Classes are limited to the first 40 students and adults are welcome to attend. Anyone born after July 1, 1983 must obtain certification before operating on the VAST Trail system. For More Information please call David 802-371-1279
