All these type of events are run by volunteers but some better than others. As I said, for those like me that haven't been before some info other than 'the Showgrounds or wherever' for us campers and a bit more detail about what actually goes on - an outline of the proceedings doesn't give much hint as to what actually happens, where it happens, times, expectations of participants, etc.
While I'm sure they'll fill in the gaps at some stage, it seems to me a free for all - Rock up with your Land Rover and do whatever - you know, you've been before.... but I haven't...
Other large events involving lots of vehicles usually have heaps more detail to let newcomers know how things work and the lie of the land - all this seems lacking here.
While I'm sure I'll find somewhere suitable to put the van for a few nights and head out and explore what's to do, get involved and have a blast it just comes across as a bit half arsed from where I sit, and while I'm sure that's not the case and the organisers are working hard, they need to be aware not all of us are in their Clubs, or have been there before and have the knowledge and experience they have - communication is the key to any successful venture and I feel it is lacking here is all.
As this is the Countries largest Land Rover forum I also thought the organisers may be spruking it a bit here but the website link had to be posted by a member that came across it who has also never attended.
If you want to pass this constructive criticism onto someone in the know maybe it could help them better understand the needs of those who haven't attended before instead of thinking everyone knows what the go is.
