Bastard, once again I have the beerwah SF trip I'm also running for the LROCB on that day (straight after the GCLRO trip). Why is that important **** has to be on days that I am busy

I will be mentioning that if less than 5 vehicles go on the Beerwah SF trip with the Brissie club it won't be run. If it was a Saturday, maybe it would be possible but don't change a date to suit me.

Oooh, I was afraid this day would come.

Can I do my driver awareness course on Big Red or the Ho-Chi-Min Trail at Beerwah, Oct 21/22?

Not being cheeky, but it's ironic that just after joining the GCLRO I'm moving house up north and now looking the join the SCLRO...
