June Long Weekend

Big weekend with vehicles starting to turn up on Friday. A very big thank you to Matt McPherson and Brett Quodling for bringing a rock buggy along with caps and coolers up for a lot of budding mechanics to droul over, how true the comment, "Like putting a brewry in front of a group of alcoholics", .
Great to see Bob Woolley leading Aussie Tracks, back after a break, bringing along Port Macquarie and Tamworth. Reg lead the Sydney Jeep Club to their usual spot clearly decorated with Jeep flags and banners.
Col lead the Rare Breed group with his informous "TONI". Bob,Daniel and Steve lead the Bong Bong convey with Mark and Alex representing Zone.
The previous weeks damp conditions made the playgrounds holes almost impossible, Bobs 47 provided some interesting photo shots, with Andrew(Snoik) and Bob both needing the excavator to get out of another bog hole.
Thanks can't be said enough for John assisting Chris after his Automatic's sump was caved in on one of the creek runs. Rumour has it an "Arm" was damaged on Rupe's imaccuately presented black TJ.
Cols continual assistance in providing a tow vehicle for firewood for me with help from Rupe,Gary, Peter and Bob, just a shame Peters tree was towed with Peter hitch and chain but he got bragging rights for towing a monster off the hill.
Daniel and Steves weeks of voluntry work leading up to with a full day the weekend before to clad and finish off the new shed can not be appreciated enough, again guys thanks.
In all a fun weekend had by all I hope, please forward any photos to my e-mail.

Working Bee 22nd New Camp Area

The new camp area was worked upon and opened up, John on tractor filling in old unused wombat holes and pushing old fallen trees out of the way,Ruth on push mower, Michael on the Toro Ride On, Mark pulling out stumps and on Whipper Snipper and Juke doing a bit of everything.
Regret not taking before and after photos as dramatic difference to new site was unbelievable. Mick got stranded on humps in playground at end of day and bottomed the Surf out to be recovered by Mark, He started the "Bylong Bounce" as a way of straighting bent side steps.

October Long Weekend Interest

Nepean District have expressed an interest in the warming weather of the October Long Weekend for a return visit, as is those early risers from Off Road 4x4, just as long as Keith brings his iPod. Any other clubs interested please let me know so we can organise things.Coal Fields 4x4 Club looks like they are going to venture up the gully from the Hunter to have a look with Jeep Club NSW venturing up in August. Looking forward to seeing you then, hopefully with new CV Joints in the poor old Cruiser
