Following the February storm, members John Youngblut, Ryan Bishop, and Sean Polin began clean up at the Broad Run BFRA location.
The plugged culvert coming off the road, and running under the BFRA property towards the run, has caused significant erosion of the left hand side of the boat ramp. This erosion is interfering with members ability to back their trailers into parking positions.
They also brought in 3 tons of stone to fill the eroded area. John, Ryan and Sean also unblocked the input side of the culvert with some success. A work order has been submitted to VDOT to clear the pipe.
More work is needed on this area. BFRA relies on volunteers to help complete repairs and maintenance.
A total of 22 tires were dumped at the Broad Run. Some were still on the rims. Vice President John Youngblut took 4 to the county dump and Mike Melville picked up the remaining 18 tires. We were able to drop 4 off for free. The cost to BFRA to dispose of the remaining tires was $19.50. Please do not leave tires, car parts, or trash at the Run. Clean up after yourself. We appreciate the help.
A big shout out to BFRA member Jeff Thornton who mowed the grass at the Broad Run in preparation for the Memorial Weekend.
The Bradley Forest Recreation Association met on Saturday April 10, 2021 from 10 a.m. to noon. The purpose of the meetings was to pay annual dues, exchange keys to the Run and hold officer elections. Unfortunately no one stayed longer than to get the key and pay dues. The officers will continue in the present positions until next year’s meeting.
If any member in good standing would like a copy of the 2020 Income and Expense Report contact Anne Melville via email. Use the email she used to send reminders about the meeting
One member asked what their dues are used for:
What is asked of members?
A special thank you to members Mrs. & Mrs. Lyons who conducted a clean up of the boat ramp and the back gate to pond on Smithfield road areas on Sat. 20 Mar. They also cleaned up the bridge and the approaches to the bridge. They collected 5 bags of trash, several pieces of scrap metal, construction debris, and a rusted out gasoline tank. Mr. Lyons pulled a motor cycle out of the run. At another time they picked up the 4 tires that were dumped down by the boat ramp area and took them to the dump.
Mr. Thornton has volunteered to pick up the motor cycle body at the run and dispose of it.
Respectfully submitted
Anne Melville-Secretary/Treasurer
BFRA officers met via email and agreed that one of the trees near the water at the run was dead and posed a threat to members using the run. It was unanimously agreed to pay for the tree to be cut down. The tree was removed on 6/10/2020. The Club President paid $500.00 to Lester Heath for the removal of the tree. The Secretary/Treasurer will write a check from club funds to reimburse her.
Respectfully submitted, Anne Melville Secretary/Treasurer
Due to Coronoavirus, it was decided to not hold the BFRA annual meeting until a later date. The key exchange took place on Saturday April 25, 2020 outside the club house. Members were required to wear masks and observe social distancing.
We will have a brief meeting on Saturday April 27 from 8 to 10 a.m. at the clubhouse to collect old keys and pass out new ones.
Due to the large number of keys which do not get returned, a $25 refundable key deposit will be added this year for all members and from this point forward for all new members. Each member will need to fill out and sign a new copy of the rules and the release of liability form. I will have them with me.
I will be changing the lock Saturday morning (April 27th) before the meeting. As always you may make out your check to Bradley Forest Recreation Association; we will also accept cash. Please let me know if you have an questions or concerns. Don’t forget to bring your 2018 key with you.
We will hold our annual meeting on Saturday, April 28, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. at the club house. The lock on the Run will be changed before the meeting starts. To renew your membership bring your old key and a check made out to Bradley Forrest Recreation Association or $100 cash for the 2018 dues.
