Is dit reg indien ek hierdie na die breëre Nissan mense stoot - of Patrols Only?

Mooi loop

Just awaiting confirmation of availability before we get the ball rolling.

To be honest - if it was anyhow possible I would have been on all of these trips/events but alas, there are "pie in the sky" and then there are reality - for me at least.

From my quiet corner I see what is happening to the Forum events now, is exactly the same as what we have experienced from a Club perspective - dwindling numbers in attending events - no ones fault - just reality.

Last year during the Club YEF at Kungwini, the hosts there were surprised that we were able to get about 10 vehicles together (and we were very disappointed in the ten) on the day as they stated - all Clubs / Groups are experiencing a downward trend in attendee numbers and many a Club struggle to get even 10 together.

What I have learnt the hard way is that we need to persist - even it there are only 5 or 6 vehicles on the day. Things will turn again and then the people and their vehicles will return - if we don't persist, then we are a dying breed.

Mooi loop...en lekker ry....

Just get Tinus to let everyone know that he has on his cell phone - will triple quickly.

Unfortunately quit a number of owners do not visit the forum that regularly and we don't have an e-mail list to send out a notice to every one.

Once we confirm the venue I will try and watsup every one I have and see if that might help

Errol ek dink finansies lyk maar sleg orals......

Im also keen on Karee Karans, I voted At se Gat but would actually love to try another 4x4 trail

I think the Karee Krans has better camp facilities.....not that I voted for it but will be happy either way....
Will maybe take "cheapy" for a maiden journey

As ek nader gebly het was ek daar. Maar n 930km "round trip" is n paar rand se brandstof...

Ag nee kom nou Fanus ....bring jou bakkie dat ons krag reel en ry verby met die 4.5....hoe slim is daai nie.....

Errol ons gaan uitmaak as dit n naby trip is gaan ons wen kom laat Dirk net sy ding doen dan maak ons uit

I am keen on a local event. Karee Krqns too far for now, but i will be there for any of the other options.

I have voted for Moegatle and Heidelberg, but not really too fussed.

Ek dink dit is maar net 'n funksie van die tye waarin ons leef

Ek stem vir Kreekrans want ek was nog nie daar nie, maar as ons meer mense gaan kry by 'n nader plek, dan doen ons eerder dit.

So, Dirk, jy moet hierdie in ag neem:
Al kry Kareekrans dalk meer stemme as eerste keuse, ons moet dalk dink aan watter plek die meenste mense gaan bymekaar kry - wat nader is
