3) 4x4 clubs should arrange their own meeting point, then travel to the nearest LA Sport branch before 12h00 (13h00 is normally closing time). Or meet at the branch, at a set time. This is at the club’s discretion, and to be arranged by individual clubs.
4) Thereafter, the club members can decide how/where to proceed. Regional clubs are urged to hold joint events, to foster inter club relationships.
5) For Gauteng, and near Gauteng, clubs – the meeting point is the LA Sport Pretoria East track (site of last year 's AAWDC Fun Day). From 10h00 to 14h00. A shortened track will be set up, which can be driven, at a reduced cost . Longer drives are also available, at normal cost of R280/day .
6) The Nissan 4x4 club will marshall the agreed obstacles from 10h00 onwards, to ensure a smooth flow of vehicles. One attempt per obstacle only, to speed up proceedings. Decisions of marshalls will be binding upon all participants.
7) Club gazebos, flags, can be put up, on the rim of the quarry, on a first come, first serve basis. Sites will be demarcated with banner tape. Only 4x4 vehicles will be allowed to park around the track , all other vehicles to park at the gate.
8) Club vehicles to park facing the quarry, in rows radiating out from the quarry, for the 14h00 ‘most 4x4s in one place’ photo.

Hi Guys,

I just had a call from Norman at LA Sport Garden Route in George and they are organizing the Charity Run on the 4th of June because there is no 4x4 Clubs in the area.

They are planning to go to a farm that have 3 4x4 tracks and have a braai.

If any of you guys can please join them - contact Norman at 0448782111.
