Some of you may have noticed in the sand failure thread that a sand driving training day was suggested.
I have made some enquiries with a company I did a training day with a few years ago at Stockton Beach - Getabout Training Services.
Getabout are willing to run a dedicated day just for us provided we can get 5 - 6 cars. They would organise for whatever day suits us with a discount of $50, this would make the cost $225 per vehicle. The $50 discount will pay for your fuel.
As I said, I did the day a few years ago with my son and it was a fun, family friendly and relaxed day, but you will learn some new skills and go up and down some big dunes. While I have done a fair bit of beach driving now, I'm still keen to go again.
SO....
What I need to get this organised is to confirm a FIRM day that will suit the majority of people. As a start I suggest the following days over the next couple of months (all Saturdays) :
29/6
20/7
27/7
Once I have an indication of numbers and preferred date, I'll go back to Getabout and confirm details. You will then need to book direct with them under a reference I'll give you later.
I guess they would take 8 or so in the group, but the smaller the group the better day you will have - so first in best dressed. If there is significant numbers showing interest maybe I'll have to draw a line in the um...sand.
Remember, I'm not getting anything out of this so no grief please.
Otherwise, I look forward to meeting you and having a fun day out.
I'll leave this up for a week or so - so who is interested?
Cheers,
