Hi again
Been in the club 2 years now We joined after visiting a few meetings as a work mate (very long time member) had recommended it, at the time we were new at 4Wding as our Prado is our 1st 4by.
Meetings are meetings but on the whole are good, of late they have finished about 10pm. After the meetings we (members we have met on some great trips ie W/E & 10day etc) chat for 1 or 2 hours it's on licensed premises so you can have a drink if you want.
Members vary from
young folk, families, new & old oldies.
Driver training ( 1 per month held at the club property at
Yarck) is included in the joining fee (very busy at the moment as they signed up 66 at the 4x4 show, if you have a partner you both do the course if you want & you then get a vehicle sticker which allows you to then go on trips any club trips.
Re trips we now have a very keen trip convener in "Big Scotty" who organised a trip leaders course last year so we now have more trips on the agenda (rangeing from 1Day to extended trips like the 1 we are going on to the Flinders for 15days at
Easter could be 20 vehicles)especially for new members.
The club owns a great property about 400 acres at
Yarck which for a $50 key deposit you can go there any time you like (except
driver training W/E) a good time to see it would be the CruiserKana W/E on the Sunday
I would talk to the folks at Wandin, come along to a few meetings
check out the Members, Video & Book library maybe
check out some other clubs if you like before deciding to join ( at all meetings they have a visiters greeter & also the
driver training team will have a short chat with you)
I could meet you at the next meeting on 17th Feb if you like ?
as there is much more I could tell you.
If you forward you Email ady or phone No to ExploreOz to forward on to me I will contact you direct.
Cheers for now
