Thread: Land Rover 60th Anniversary - WA

Why not team up with Barbagallos and have our own 'Cooma 60th Anniversary' version here in Perth. I reckon there would be a huge turnout. You could even have a Land Rover swap meet as part of the celebrations.

I think it would be great to organise something here in WA I think the only big problem would be finding some where to hold an event, even if it's just a big bbq and tall story telling we should do something, (we those who cant make it to cooma).

So anyone know anyone with a big chunk of land they would let us use?
Even better if it had a bit of rough terrain to show what Landy's can do.

Hey Andy, you work for a Shire don't you, anything like that around your way?
I work for a shire too but it's all urban stuff.

Ok people, what we need is a location, possably a farm/big block, with a shed + water supply, chuck in a couple of porta loos and shire permit for camp fires and we would have a event.
Location????? north of Bridgetown south of Carnavon, pick a spot.

I had a quick look yesterday at the AHG driver training facility at Grogan Rd, Perth Airport. They have a large open area devoted to 4x4 training with facilities etc.
This may be an option as you could have displays, 4x4 driving etc.

This is their web site.

Hi Steve
Nothing suitable down here.
The idea of the AHG place would be great.
Getting Southerns/Barbagallos behind it would be worth trying.Especially if they have a fleet of demonstrators to take around the track!!!!!
See what the WA LROC people come up with.

That sounds good if they would let us.
Does anyone know anyone connected to AHG?
I would be better than cold calling.

C'mon speak up !

I work for a company that is part of the AHG organisation.

On Monday I will see our GM and find out some contact details, if he knows them. As the AHG Driving Centre to my understanding isn't part of AHG, it is DTEC but AHG is the naming sponsor. I could be wrong but that is how I understand it.

I think before we contact them, we need to get a handle on how big this will be or what we are trying to achieve, i.e.

1. Just a get together of Land Rover nuts like us from AULRO and LROCWA.
2. Above but at the driving centre I think there would be a cost to use the 4WD track.
3. No 2 plus involve Barbagallo/Southerns for Demo rides, It now becomes bigger as I believe they would only be interested if they can use this as an opportunity to sell new vehicles. Which were now talking advertising to bring in a crowd. Which a commitee would have to be formed and we are now talking about an event.

I may have gone over the top on point 3. So let me know what you think. Maybe we should start a vote.

I personally prefer just a meet with all you fine people on here. possibly in the bush at a nice big campsite. Checkout each others rigs tell stories, have a few sherberts etc.
