Going forth will we be able to conduct Business as we have in the past?

Validation Numbers?

Fish And Game has given NHSA total control of what maybe the only Validation Number ACCEPTED for Registering a Snowmobile. They have also given NHSA cart blanch on the pricing $$$$$$$$ of the VD Numbers with no over-site from Fish and Game.

Club generated Membership ID Numbers you have on our Membership Cards and Membership Certificate used on our online Webpage may no longer be valid. We may have to prepay NHSA for blocks of VD Numbers to continue issuing Membership Cards and Certificates?

Our Club has 3 sources of generating Memberships.

1: Annual Mail Out to all members of the past Season.

2: Sales Agents. We have 3 local Agents that Sell our Membership. We provide them with our Club Applications. The Application has one of our Membership Cards attached.

3: In 2017 we added an Online Membership Page. You now can Join the Club, Printout a Membership Certificate, order Club Maps and Decals. Pay by Credit Card or PayPal.

Our Membership Cards and Certificates are accepted a PROOF of MEMBERSHIP by any of the numerous Registration Agents in the Area.

With what I have Stated I believe we will may no longer be able generate Membership in our Club as we have in the Past.

Whatever happened to YOU HAVE TO BE A MEMBER OF A CLUB THAT IS A MEMBER (in good standing) of NHSA to be eligible for the $30.00 Registration Discount?

I has asked NHSA Director Dan Gould if we would be paying an additional FEE for the Validation Number or would “Free” as part of the normal $10.0 NHSA Membership. He would not give me an answer and had a little hisyifit and told me I should contact my local District Director Dan Foote first.

I did. I sent Dan an e-mail asking about the Validation Number and he replied he had no knowledge of the Validation numbers or the Cost.

I will be going Tuesday to a second Meeting in Lancaster to continue this matter with Fish and Game.

If there any Clubs concerned about this, no matter what County your are in it would serve you well to be there!

Tuesday April 10th 6:30pm Lancaster F&G Office. NO OVER-SITE of the PRICING of the Validation (ID NUMBERS)NHSA=$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

As a side note NHSA has just come out with new Bylaws and Business Procedure ordered by the Attorney General.

One of the changes proposed is a new formula for the Number of Delegate a Club gets at the Annual Meeting. It is not a good sign ware NHSA heading. Example Pittsburgh has 36 Delegates and by the new formula may have only 8 next year.

I have more on the Audit that Major Wimsatt used to say there was a problem with Club Generated ID Numbers, Numerous error in validating when used to Register a Sled.

After a year or more I finally got a copy. I have read it "six ways to Sunday" and there is not bit of Statistical Date in the Audit to back up his Claim!

80% of the Audit dealt with Physical Control of the Registration Decals, One incident quoted was that of a missing package of Decals. The mystery was solved when they were found in a CLEANING CLOSET.
