is there any clubs in vermont?

[JASONH]

i am located in rutland county, does anyone know of any clubs in vermont? i don't know any other crawlers around my area.

[themichavo]

no there are not any clubs in vt. but i think all us vermonters should get together and get one going.

[JASONH]

is anyone else intrested? what do we have to do to get a club going?
does anyone have experiance or knowledge of how events are run?

[themichavo]

i've read the rules and regs. as far as starting a club idk. my mom started a club i'm trying to reach her so she can start me down the right direction

[themichavo]

ok i got hold of my mom and she told me what to do. go on to the vt secretary of state web site and fill out a form and also we have to have a bylaw and we have to a point a president, vise president and so on. this is for a non profit club. now there are way to many brands of rc crawlers to make the club for one brand so the bylaw would have to be for people with rc rock crawlers. as far as holding events after we get started we can make our own rules.

my mom aslo said that if we need help she will help. i know i keep going to my mom but don't worry i'm not some teen talking out my a$$. i'm 23 and my mom is the only one i know who nows this stuff.

[JASONH]

count me in tell me any way i can help.i live in poultney, but have no problems traveling to events in vermont. you can email me at mjhhhh@comcast.net

[JASONH]

i checked out vrmont laws on clubs,we need at least 3 directors and a $75 fee plus irs registration. i will take my responsibility as one and pay my part but, we need more VERMONTERS to join.

[themichavo]

i would take a spot but i'm going to Afghanistan January 3 and won't be back for a year but do want to help the club get started.

[BIKETROLL]

I'll do what I can.."thumbsup"

[themichavo]

i was wondering if there was any progress yet

[BIKETROLL]

JasonH do you know where we can pay of what ever forms that we need to fill out, I'll pay what ever and be one of the directors if thats what it takes to get the ball rolling lats do it,if you want give me shout 279-4185

I'll chip in to get it done. Doing a "legal" not-for-profit club is actually a huge pain in the rear. IRS paperwork, accounting, filing with the state. Then consider insurance for events etc. It gets complicated. Consider just forming a non official group for a while and then organize if it takes off.

FWIW- I'm in Springfield and have a couple crawlers, but I'm not really good at it or modding my stuff to extreme competition levels- and probably won't. I'm a 'full scale' off road driving instructor though. "thumbsup"

[BIKETROLL]

MUDDYOVAL, THIS IS MY FIRST YEAR @ THIS AND I'M NOT THAT GREAT EITHER BUT IT'S A BLAST JUST THE SAME:mrgreen:
