Ah bugger! Barb was looking forward to this. We will be away that weekend.

[Allabaster]

What sort of things are we going to cover?

[uncaged123]

Heidi, can I bring my nephew along as a co driver? He want to buy a jeep when his employment provide an income to do so.

Cheers Rob

Still don't understand why we have to have two different club based items in competition with each other. No response to my earlier post.

In the mean time please book in Kerry and me for the awareness training. We will meet up at Rydal rather than Blaxland.

It's due to the trainer is only avaliable on this day & Grease Monkey was set months ago & open to not only SJC Members so can't be changed.

[jk_menace]

Hi Heidi and Brian,
please add me in for next Sunday.
Cheers

[Rob.79]

Hi Heidi, could you add me to the list as a maybe, at the moment, I'm about 80% sure I will be there... If I get everything I need to get done and out of the way on Saturday.... :)

[Heidi]

I will update the list tonight
Dru - I don't beleive they are competing trips - one is aimed at people wishing to be a trip leader for Grease Monkey and one is aimed at general driver awareness suitable for new members, which our members been asking for for a while now. With 100 members I believe the club is large enough to support multiple trips on the same weekend.

Formal Accreditiation is about $400 the association offers the test for about $80.

[Jeep11]

Hi guys, Hayley and I would like to attend pls

[Easy77]

Heidi, can you put me on the list, thank you.
Dushan.

[richhenning]

Hi Heidi. Normally I would be in like a shot for this but I am on doctors orders for no lifting or strenuous activity following an operation. Hope to catch the next one. Cheers.

Hello Heidi. I'm 90% in. Not really a family outing, right? (2 young boys - 6 & 8).

[Heidi]

we are bringing our 4 year old if that helps.

[Hamma]

Hello again, Heidi.
Ok. So I'm now 100% in, but I'm not financial yet. Is there link in here somewhere that will take me to your PayPal account?

Heidi, will part of the training includes recovery and use of winches. I'll bring my hand winch as well.

Cheers RobS

[Heidi]

yes it will cover recoveries RobS - if you can bring your hand winch that would be great saves us having to go and pick ours up from some friends

[Hamma]

Heidi, I realised I hadn't let you know that the only equipment I have is a tow strap, so that means no radio yet. And I'm planning to be at the Blaxland Maccas before 8:00. Will be solo and looking forward to it. Cheers, John.

I may also be there, depends on if I can drag 3 kids out of bed early enough ;) Don't wait for me if I'm not at Blaxland though.

Cheers

Hi Guys, was hoping to capture some footage from this Sunday's action via goPro but while I have enough goPros for multiple angles I'm all out of ideas on which mounts are best to use.
Thinking a dash level view in addition to front bumper and wheel arch would be ideal, would anyone here have experience using goPro mounts or have spare ones they can bring on Sunday?
Thanks in advance :)

Strap one to your forehead o white walker - go for the "POV" style of filming a day on the trails

[uncaged123]

Hi Hamma, I'll bring my extra straps and hand radio units for this weekend. See what I have then you can work out what you'll need to buy.

Cheers RobS

[Karl]

Hi there, do you have room for one more? I'd love to come.

[Hunno]

Yep, this is an unlimited entry for any financial member of the club.


Lord Help Me I'm in to JEEP!

[redrubi]

Heidi, we will meet you at the showground on sunday Charl and Andy.

[Easy77]

I'll most likely go straight to Rydal Showground (i'll take the Richmond route). Don't wait for me in Blaxland.

[uncaged123]

Hamma, do you have a towbar unit fitted to your jeep? One where you can change towing arms. I'll bring my spare towbar recovery unit to loan to you for the day, if you don't have one yet.

Heidi & Brian, if I miss you at Blaxland I'll see you at Rydal showground, please don't hold. back waiting for me, if I'm running late.

Cheers Rob

[Hamma]

Hi Rob. Yes I have that type of tow bar fitted. Thanks for the offer.

Cheers, John.

[Hamma]

Oops - I now have a hand-held radio.

That's the way.

It easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission!

Enjoy,
