New Members Day January 2022
Jan 30 2022 @ 8:00 am – 3:30 pm
The purpose of the day is to introduce you to the club and its workings such as booking trips and convoy procedure, some safety knowledge such as the Reverse Hill Stall Procedure and recovery fundamentals (safe use of a Snatch Strap), plus a bit of an introduction to one of the properties we have access to.
We don’t presume any prior knowledge on the day. We class the day as “Medium” difficulty (as we will be using low-range for part of the day), however, the day is designed as an introduction so there shouldn’t be anything too intimidating.
The start point for the weekend will be Spring Mountain Reserve, Tully Connection Rd, Greenbank 4124. Meet at the park by 8:30 am for 9:00 am Sunday morning.
The official part of the day should end by around 3:00 – 3:30 pm so we should be home in daylight.
Everyone Bring:
Sunscreen/Hat
Water
Wear sturdy, closed in shoes and long pants – we’ll be in the bush and there are creepy-crawlies
Morning Tea and Lunch
Recovery Gear if you have it (snatch strap, bow shackles, etc.) … don’t worry if you don’t have it, we’ll discuss what you need (and what you might like)
Insect Repellent
Chair/something to sit on
Wet weather gear if the forecast is not so good – we will contact and advise if the event has to be postponed due to rain
Owners manual for your vehicle (very handy)
