One of the things that I discovered at the muster was that there were a number of people who wanted to go camping or or day trips to various places but hadn't heard about trips that we'd been doing. I think some people also felt uncomfortable with the humourous "EGGNOG" name for the NSW group.
As a result of all of the discussions, the following has happened:
1) Dylan has changed the name of the group to NSWNOG. You can visit the group page by clicking here and sign up if you wish.
2) I've nominated myself as Trip Coordinator. All this really means is that when a decision has been made about a destination, I'll plan the route, including meeting place, times, fuel stops etc. I'll include stuff to bring (eg we might not need food if we're going to a pub) as best as I can.
3) I will start to come up with interesting destinations that we can visit but please feel free to throw some in! Not all of the destinations will be 4WD tracks, sometimes they'll be visually spectacular, or they'll just be a social gathering where we can say hi and have a couple of drinks.
I do intend to conduct (or have conducted if possible) some basic lessons in 4WD, for example negotiating river crossings, conducting vehicle recoveries, rocky trails etc. We will also have camping outings requiring an overnight (or two) stay somewhere. There are plenty of places to go and things to see in this state - so let's get to it!
Please feel free to join up and come along.
