Ice Damage Leads to Trail Closures for CSRA Trails

Wed, 02/19/2014 - 10:33am — robina

The recent ice storm hit the Augusta, GA and Aiken, SC area hard. If you live out of town and were planning on visiting FATS in the next few weeks, you should reschedule your trip. Not only is FATS wet from the recent ice storm, but the downed trees and branches have made a majority of the loops impassable. This is true for most of the other trails in the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) as well.

Most residents in the CSRA, and our local volunteers, have had their power restored, but they will be taking care of damage to their homes and yards first.

A Message from Mike Van Abel Regarding Cancellation of Chapter Insurance

Fri, 02/14/2014 - 9:53am — robina

IMBA's national insurance policy for chapters and supporting organizations will cease coverage at the end of this month.

We are in the process of negotiating replacement insurance.

IMBA's current general liability insurance program is no longer viable and will cease to operate after February 28, 2014.

A Message from Tom Sauret Regarding Cancellation of Chapter Insurance

Fri, 02/14/2014 - 9:52am — robina

The following post is a message to our Chapter Presidents from Tom Sauret, regarding insurance for SORBA chapters.

Everyone:

You will be receiving an email from IMBA's Boulder Office today or tomorrow outlying the recent developments in the search for affordable insurance. The developments are not good. The IMBA BOD decided last weekend not to renew the national liability program. IMBA's reasons will be outlined in the communication that I expect you will receive shortly.
