Dear Member It's October - and with the warmer weather and Outdoors October promotion we can expect to see lots of traffic on the trails. Trail bikes, quads and side-by-sides, mountain bikes, walkers and four wheel drives. So take care out there, be a little extra cautious, be friendly and considerate to other trails users and remember to always be a good ambassador for trail bike riding. Lots of off-trail activity happening this month as well, so grab a quick catchup before you head out ... ORV Registration Update We were heartened by the response we received from Minister Simpson about the application of ORV licensing fees but there is still considerable work to be done to monitor this and ensure that the funds are used for the best overall outcome. It’s been rumoured that the Department of Local Government intends to use some of the available funding to mount an advertising campaign about the new fees. We have written to the Department suggesting that the existing ‘So Where Can I Ride’ booklets, produced and distributed by the RTRA, should be used for this purpose to avoid having to spend more money on additional and possibly duplicative production. Meanwhile we know of at least two projects that could make use of ORV licensing funding to help open up new opportunities for riders. RTRA AGM - October 27 Put this in your diary now - our annual AGM / Social Night at the Oxford Hotel, Leederville. Anyone who has attended one of these can tell you that the formalities are kept brief to give plenty of time for catching up and talking all things dirt.
There will be food, a cash bar, and plenty of prizes and surprises - and of course we'll bring you up to date with what the RTRA has achieved throughout the year and what we have planned for the future. The event is free for all current financial members - please register to attend.
If you have ever wanted to get involved in the running of the RTRA, the AGM is also the time to nominate for the Committee. We are always on the lookout for energetic, passionate riders who want to ensure a riding future for ourselves, our kids and future generations.
Further details, including nomination forms, will be emailed to all members soon.

The RTRA will again have a strong presence at the Perth Motorcycle Show at Claremont Showgrounds from October 30 to November 1.
Thank you to the over 300 riders who contributed to our Minimal Impact Riding Survey. 
If you have an interest in recreational trails and want to catch up with the latest in planning, design and maintenance, the 2015 State Trails and Outdoors Conference will provide plenty of good information.
It's that time of year again, so be on the lookout for snakes. We've already had reports of sightings at Pinjar but our slithery friends will be coming out of hibernation all over the state.
With summer just around the corner it's time to adjust to the dust. Here are three easy things you can do to make your summer rides more enjoyable and safer:
