2018 Planning - Scheduling some dates for SJC

[Dru]

This thread is to open for discussion on longer term planning across 2018. Let's get some trips into the SJC calendar early. No excuse not to be ready. :smile-new:

Happy for any discussion, suggested changes in dates and trips, and we are looking for volunteers. If you were thinking of one of these dates, that's fine, speak to me and we can coordinate. We are flexible, but talk first. :pirate:

Cheers

Dru

Hi Dru,

Got my Snowy Trip at start of January. Also there is the 4WD Assn "Jambo" near Batemans Bay 29 March to 2 April - for anyone that doesn't want to go to Coffs... I'm planning a trip with Wayne and Julie for July 2018, details at end of this year.

Think we were suggesting October long weekend 2018 for Grease Monkey?

Hope that helps,
Dave

Jose, hope you had fun at Wheeney Creek. Love that track.

mate, Batemans Bay “Jambo” by recollection is largely being run by triple diamond. I’ll get back to you, but I’m sure they would appreciate a knowledgeable volunteer. Just dont expect them to have the same concept of gradings. :-)

I think we can lock Grease Mo key to the October long weekend next year at Watagans.


Stay in touch!
