D3 GOE Rods

Most car clubs are less than $100 a year - one club I was recently a member off only had fees of $50 and many members were complaining.

Which Getabout course are you attending, is it the Drive and Recover?

Yes, it's the Drive and Recover.
I'll also ask if I can get some specific TR training.

If you can't get specific training for the TR systems, you can purchase the GOE off-road booklet (AULRO discount rate of course ;) )and use it in conjunction with a more generic training day.

We're looking at coming over and doing both theory and practical training later in the year, but it's looking to be more likely in Victoria at this stage.

Cheers,

Gordon

Agreed. I gave up on them about a 100 bucks ago as I thought it was expensive then. I do think that they are a good club and I had been thinking lately about re-joining, but at that price I can't see the value.

Cheers,
Jon

Good point, all my previous clubs were far less.

That's pretty expensive; TLCC is $155 for a family membership, you get the accredited training free (one night theory and two weekend days practical at Willowglen). The reason for the cost is to maintain the two properties the club owns, namely Willowglen (training) and Koolandilly (leisure), as both have undercover sheds, hot showers and toilets that are free for members use.

Ah, just took a look; the annual fee is a more reasonable $121, the $220 includes joining fee, and the cost is pro rata, so is less if joining now, although makes more sense to wait a few days for July.

Don't you mean it's $220 for the first year, $99 joining fee and annual membership fee is $121, then it's $121 a year membership??

Training is free to members however the club asks for a $25 donation on the day for their charity. Our main instructor is very very experienced and has done courses at Eastnor Castle and been a professional driver trainer and know the vehicles back to front.

There are various club trips run ranging form day trips to a few week trips as well as other trips to places of interest run purely by members.

Monthly club meetings are held at various locations ranging from tire places to Dealers to independent service places and Auto Repair shops. There is also a very high quality monthly magazine produced.

I have enjoyed being a member for the last few years as not many of my mates are into 4wding so this provides one avenue of getting out and about with like minded people who enjoy the LR brand.

Definitely not a hard core 4wd club but that suits me.

I should disclose I am the clubs current Education and Training officer so take this as a bit of an advert. (P.S I am definitely not the instructor referred to above)

If you want any more info please PM so I do not take this thread any further off track!

Hey guys, go as far off track as you please, after all this is a 4wd forum, and off track is what it is all about.

Bad pun for the day finished.

Can you remind us what the thread topic is ;)
