| | Cars in the Park Zwartkops | | Date: | 03/08/2008 to 03/08/2008 | | Organizer: | Jan Kock | | Bookings: | Jan Kock | | The Annual Cars in the Park Show takes place on Sunday, August 3rd, at the Zwartkops Raceway South West of Pretoria. The event starts early (07H00), and ends late in the afternoon (after 15H00). You must be on the stand before 10h00, up to at least 14H00. You are welcomed to join me early that morning to recce the Obstacle Course, because this year we will be manning the 4X4 Obstacle Course and showing spectators what Landy’s can do. Up to 2 Adults per Landy will be allowed in free. |
| | Two day First Aid Course | | Date: | 09/08/2008 to 10/08/2008 | | Organizer: | Dave Morgan | | Bookings: | Isla Blasa,0861-LROCSA | | We have booked Outdoor Medical Consulting to conduct a two day Level 1 First Aid Course for us. Their course is orientated towards off road travellers and they have empathy with Land Rover owners. One of their paramedics, Alan de Souza is a member of LROC and was on duty at our 60th Celebration at Sandstone Estates. Please note that to be a certified Level 1 Course it has to be over at least 16 hours and many members have stipulated that they want a Level 1 Course. Seeing that August 9 is Woman’s Day we will do something special on that day for all ladies attending the course.
The course fee is R680, which must be paid to LROC in advance. Delegates must bring their own lunch. We need at least 8 delegates but based on the Action Trial and our insertion in the last LROC News we have more than enough interest. Send an e-mail to Isla and she will forward all the necessary details to you.

| | AAWDC Challenge | | Date: | 16/08/2008 to 16/08/2008 | | Organizer: | Andre Oberholster | | Bookings: | Isla Blasa,0861-LROCSA | | It is that time of the year again when we as the LROC are tasked to compete against the rest of the 4x4 clubs in the Gauteng area.
As you know, our team won last year, making it 2 wins out of 4 so far. This is really confusing the other groups, as the Best 4x4xFar has a decided disadvantage these days against the hi-tech products out there,, without exception coming out standard with axle lockers and/or traction control. We don’t even talk about those huge CJ Jeeps with V8’s and massive tyres!
|
| | Techincal Day Adventure Motors KYA Sands | | Date: | 23/08/2008 to 23/08/2008 | | Organizer: | Attie Smit | | Bookings: | Attie Smit | | Mark Rademarker will discuss bush mechanics with special reference to Td5 motors. All are welcome and he will answer all questions on all Land Rover models.
|
| | WEEK LONG TRIP TO MABUASEHUBE | | Date: | 30/08/2008 to 07/09/2008 | | Organizer: | Dave Morgan | | Bookings: | Isla Blasa,0861-LROCSA | | Based on the feed back I am getting, Mabuasehube, on the eastern side of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is a very special place. For those who have been to the Khutse Game Reserve with us and had the thrill of seeing a pride of 25 lions at a water hole, then this is the place to go for another memorable experience. This time though, we have the chance of Lion roaming through our campsite at night. |
| | Berakah Trail | | Date: | 20/09/2008 to 21/09/2008 | | Organizer: | Jan Kock | | Bookings: | Isla Blasa,0861-LROCSA | | Come and join us for a great weekend away!. The trail is set in the Vredefort dome just 15 km outside Parys and offers a weekend filled with endless fun, challenge and adrenaline. Not for the faint hearted or if you’re not quite sure what to do in these circumstances. The trail is very popular, but very challenging in areas. It contains steep cliffs, hairpin bends, and no space to manoeuvre or turn back (say no more!!).We will form a convoy ride at 10.am sharp on Saturday morning which normally takes a large part of the day’s activities. Please book in order for us to know, how many members will attend.
