GOE seminars in Melbourne, Adelaide

[gghaggis]

Dear all,

Following the success of the Brisbane GOE seminar a few weeks ago, I'm running two more over East:

* Melbourne - 7pm Monday 15th October, venue to be advised
* Adelaide - 7pm Monday 5th November, venue to be advised

Details are at:

Seminars (http://www.greenovalexperience.com/seminars.html)

There is a discount available on tickets for AULRO members, so if you wish to participate, please EMAIL me your AULRO login name

The GOE Offroad Companion booklet can also be purchased at a discount at the seminar.

Cheers,

Gordon

Please have one in Sydney Gordon

Good stuff Gordon, I was away the last time you were in Melbourne. Be good to put a face to a name.

[drex]

I attended the Brisbane Seminar, highly recommended! Packed full of information that I can use when I take delivery of my D4 on Saturday :D

[Disco4SE]

Hey Gordon,
A different venue for Melbourne would be good as opposed to the gay night club last time you were here.:D
I went home with a sore bottom. Must have been the chairs ;)

Looking forward to another seminar .

Cheers, Craig

[DoctorJ]

Can't wait to catch up with fellow forumites

I'll be there

I'm definitely in for the Melbourne one :D

[oldsalt]

I'd love to be there Gordon, but alas I have a previous appointment - riding a bicycle through the Napa Valley....probably a bit wobbly after "lunch" :p
maybe next time,
cheers

My brother and I are making plans to be at the Adelaide seminar. Email will be on its way to make te booking in the near future.

[Epic]

+1 for Adelaide. Email sent.

[gghaggis]

I have tentatively booked the British Crown Hotel in Collingwood for the Melbourne seminar. Those who have emailed me will get conformation once the details are verified.

Still working on the Adelaide venue.

Cheers,

Gordon

[gghaggis]

Adelaide venue now locked in (Norwood Hotel), so it's all go!

Hello Gordon,

I have sent details via the contact form on your web site for my brother and me. We want to attend the Adelaide seminar at the Norwood Hotel.

Did you know that you have listed the seminar as being at 7:00pm in this thread, but at 7:30pm on your web site. Can you clarify?

Cheers

[gghaggis]

Hi Fred,

Final details for the Adelaide seminar won't be emailed out for a week or so, but the start time will likely be 7pm, not 7:30pm.

Cheers,

Gordon

[Steve223]

Great looking forward for Sydney Seminar can you email me when you know dates?

Just to add - there will also be a seminar in Perth on Monday 12th November, so if anyone's wanting to know more about off-roading the new Land Rovers (D3, D4, FL2, Evoque, RRS and the new RR), PM or email me for details.

We leave next week for Melbourne. I'm driving across with the caravan, missus is flying - something about the Nullarbor being boring??? Then a quick tour of Tassie (never been) before heading to Adelaide.

Cheers,

Gordon

Hi Gordon and Aulro members

I am booked into the Melbourne seminar and looking forward to it.

In addition to your current seminar, would it be feasible or would there be enough interest to run a workshop/seminar on "Emergency Bush Repair" & "Practical Tips & Tricks" for the D3/4/RRS

For example:

How does one actually take the cover off the compressor plate to clean the mud etc off

Things that can go wrong with the air suspnsion and how to deal with it?

How do we fit a emergency kit to the EAS? eg the GOE kit
How do we "jury rig" a compressor to the EAS if the OEM compressor fails or is damaged

How to quickly change over to a HS 2 way rod

What other things specific to these cars can go wrong in the bush and what can we do?

I for one would find it very useful and have confidence to do it myself, especially when I am in the bush, having been shown once on how to do it.

I do not know how much material or time would be required for workshop like that.

Could something like that be included in the current seminar by extending the seminar duration/time.

We could use our own cars for practical instructions.

Any thoughts anyone?

Yeah I proposed such a little while ago, and would be very interested. There's a heap of things in the threads that clever and desperate ppl have worked out the hard way that'd be great to know!

[gghaggis]

Some of these are covered in the GOE off-road booklet, I'll be adding more for the 3rd edition early next year (which also covers the new 2013 Range Rover). I do cover most of it at the driver training day, along with diagnostic equipment (which is covered in the seminar as well). Unfortunately we currently only run training days in Perth, although that may change mid-2013.

Adding more to the seminar content is a balancing act, as I find 3+ hours is about as much as people are willing (or able) to sit and listen!

Cheers,

Gordon

Thanks Gordon, think we're on the same page - only so much one can absorb in a theory session, but we'd happily spend a day tooling about with our cars and a barbie lunch!

[go-disco4]

Dear All

Indeed a training day together with a technical workshop on those issues would be great!

Hope you can do them interstate as well

In addition to AULRO members, I suspect there may be quite a few people in the LR Owners and Range Rover Clubs of Victoria interested in something like this

Recently our club held a technical workshop weekend and this was well attended, but mainly geared towards more general repairs and older LR and non LR cars

Hi Gordon
Thanks for a great seminar in Melbourne last night.
I had to bolt at the did not get a chance to thank you.
To any new owners out there or new to terrain response Land rover's I can certainly recommend this seminar.
Cheers
Tony

[Goaroving]

Ditto Tony,
It certainly opened my eyes to the vehicles capability. Also great tips on driving on sand.

Bob

[discojools]

Yeah thanks Gordon....must get your book now!!

[Mike_S]

Great evening, thanks Gordon. Good to put faces to a few forum names as well :twobeers:

I think a few people worked out who I was, can't for the life of me think what led them to that conclusion :angel::p

Now to get a few of GOE's goodies past the financial controller, starting with that compressor guard....

[go-disco4]

Thanks Gordon

Indeed, it was a great night and learnt quite a few things as well

Dare I encourage a practical 4WD training day in Melbourne together with a technical workshop?

Enjoy your Tassie sojourn

Regards

Hi Gordon

I am definitely coming to the Adelaide seminar.Super excited

I am sure all the non Perth attendees would be super keen to have a driver training day in their respective capital cities.Maybe you can start polling for numbers to see if this is feasible for you.Im sure if numbers are big enough you could ride shotgun with one of the group or I will just leave one of the kids at home.

[Platypus]

Likewise from my wife and I, a big thank you :). Very informative and I've read the Off-Road companion booklet twice since then. Of course, now we need to get the D4 dirty. Showed us we made a good decision to go LR and the video clips gave us confidence that it will go where others fear to tread :twisted:!

[gghaggis]

Yeah thanks Gordon....must get your book now!!

Well, you know how ;)

Cheers,

[elsey]

Gordon,

You really need to run a session in Sydney or better still in Newcastle! More accessable and better/closer places to run a practical day as well.

Hi everyone, I've been lurking around here for a while. Basically looking for reasons to get rid of the Prado and get a Disco :D.

Finally convinced my wife we should head to Adelaide and sit and listen to people other than dealers, about what we could expect should we decide to take the plunge.

Really looking forward to it

Steve and Long suffering wife Genelle

[SBD4]

What a great idea!

You'll be able to talk to everyone about the good and the bad. You'll also get great info about the capabilities of the vehicle from a very knowledgeable bloke.

I'm sure you'll be able to get every question answered and then some!

Well done and good luck! Hope you will be duly impressed.
