Greetings ITOC!

WEEKENDER IN THE WOODS...Fri 24th-Mon 27th August 2012....... 8) 8) 8)

It brings us great pleasure to invite the members of ITOC to come and join us at our August Bank holiday Weekender.


A chance for FOG and ITOC members from far and wide to come down and meet, to have some fun in our woods, drink beer and have blinding weekend with the hosted by the SE FOG posse...
This will also be our 3 year Anniversary in the woods, a great chance to celebrate everybody's help, hard-work and support and the fun we have all had down there...and to look to and plan for the future :to much:

Camping will be in our clearing in the woods itself, not in a field somewhere miles away...

After the success of the last weekenders we are sure that this one can be bigger and better...!!!

As requested by some members from further afield we are offering that visitors can stay over till the BH Monday before leaving, sooner than either having to cut Sunday short or have a really late journey home......


Arrivals from 3pm Friday....Departure by 11am Monday....


Cost per car and driver for either day £20...
Cost per car and driver for both days £35...
Cost per adult visitor (other than the driver of a car participating) £5 per day...
Cost for camping Sat night FREE...
Cost for arriving Friday afternoon/evening £5 per adult
Cost of staying over till Monday £5 per adult

Please be assured that Sally and I do not organize these events to earn money, the proceeds from the events cover the rent of the land and maintaining it, and materials we need to buy for everyone to use...if any extra is raised it will go towards developing the site further for everyone's enjoyment and for stuff for everyone attending to use...

The FOG-BOG will be there again....
The FOG-BOG is for female 1's and 2's and male 2's....trees are for male 1's!!! Laughing Laughing

The FOG-B-Q will be there, we will need loads of charcoal, and a separate supplies list for Sat and Sun will be put up nearer the date...
Please consider when adding names to the supplies list that we will looking to cater for everyone on the list for 2 lunches and 2 evenings + 2 breakfasts...
I am going to suggest that the members coming down Friday night bring their own supplies for that night and brekky in the morning...
If you have pledged to bring stuff down, then it is imperative that you let me know if you cant make it for any reason in good time, so we can source the additional things we will need...Will have been kindly donated a fridge and freezer for up the workshop by fudge, so can store safely frozen stuff from Friday till needed later in the weekend.

Campers please ensure that you bring torches as it gets really dark in the woods at night!
Water containers, deck chairs, camping lights, would be handy if anyone has any they can bring along...

Driving will not be permitted in the camping area or it will get all churned up...it will be clearly marked...


Camping positions will be allocated on arrival based on the number of tents/vans coming so as to make best use of the space and to ensure good safe access is maintained...

There may be some laning for 4pm'ish start on Saturday...duration probably a couple of hours if someone wants to organise it...all routes will be recce'd first, so no surprises and any need for permits advised well in advance...I will do a separate thread for the laning nearer the time, to keep things less muddled

We are planning some competitions too...all for a bit of fun....

Directions to get to a meet point near the woods will be pm'd to all attending nearer the time....



The Rules...
I do not organise off road events, so you are being invited to attend a picnic in these woods,
the rules of which are as follows....

Litter will be taken home or in the bins provided or burnt if burnable...
No open fires...
No irresponsible behaviour which is deemed (by the landowner, by me or someone assigned by me), a hazard to anyone (yourself &/or others)...
5mph speed limit on site for safety reasons...
5 mph speed limit through farm yard and past horses in fields...
No loud stereos,car horns or noisy behaviour near the farm or animals or anywhere on site...
No entering prohibited areas as determined by the landowner and me...
No cutting of trees or wood without my permission...
No motorbikes, quads or go-karts...
Rope swings in the clearing are old and not safe, so please do not use or allow you children to...
Children/ dogs to be kept under control and with parents/owners at all times...
Please keep children away from the open fires...
Cash up front on the day...
FOG and ITOC members and family only, unless I have agreed it prior to the event...
Drinking and driving will NOT be permitted in the woods...if we do a night time excursion, anyone who appears at all intoxicated to me will be excluded, no arguments...

Please note...
Should anyone choose to venture into the woods in their vehicle, I will not be held responsible for any injury/damage or loss whatsoever...
I would suggest that motor insurance that covers you, your vehicle to be used off road and 3rd parties would be a good idea, as otherwise you are uninsured when at these gatherings, and myself nor the landowner have insurance in place that will cover you or anything that may result from your actions to a 3rd party.
It is your responsibility to take out cover should you wish to protect your asset and those around you, if you chose not to then you must understand that it is your responsibility to deal with any claim resulting from your actions. If you are unwilling to do this, or think that I or the landowner will sort it out for you, then don't take you car into the woods.
You must understand that driving on difficult terrain is difficult and hence you should only take your car into the woods if you are sure that you are, confident in your ability to do so safely, understand your vehicles capabilities, and have assessed for yourself the terrain such that you are certain you can drive it with no risk to yourself or others. You must always exercise care and act safely with due consideration for others in the woods.

These are the rules...please only attend if you accept them, you will be required to sign prior to entrance that you agree.


Please be assured that Sally and I do not organise these meets to earn money, we just facilitate the use of a bit of woodland that we all can enjoy, the proceeds from the meets cover the rent of the land and materials we need to buy for everyone to use...if any extra is raised it will go towards maintaining and developing the site further or buying stuff for everyone's enjoyment...
We give our time for free, as do the many of our members who attend the workdays and do stuff between our gatherings.
We hope that everyone enjoys themselves and have a good time, but we will not tolerate anyone who tries to disrupt the meets or acts in a way that is not considerate towards the other members of the group, or that risks our future usage of the woods.
Be under no illusion, we have all put so much effort into getting this off the ground that anyone will be ejected from the woods and excluded from future meets if their conduct warrants it...we all want to have fun, and have put loads of work into making a fun place where we can enjoy each others company and our trucks, and as such we are not going to loose it.
Clearly with anything like this someone needs to take charge so that things can run smoothly...that someone is me, and Sally...
Please follow any instructions that Sally or I may give, we want everyone to have fun as much as you hopefully do, and if either of us asks you to do/not do something, its not for our benefit, if will genuinely be for the benefit of everyone, so your cooperation will be appreciated and expected.





Please indicate in the list below...
The days you are coming....(IE..Fri pm, Sat, Sun, Sun Night,)
Whether you are camping...if so tent or caravan (so we can plan the space) and number of tents...
Whether you will be getting your truck muddy or are visiting, and number of people in your party...


Its gonna be a blinder, we love the weekenders...its what the woods are all about and makes all the hard work by the SE posse so worthwhile!!..and this is great opportunity to celebrate in style our 3 year anniversary of having fun in the woods!!!! Wink


Look forwards to seeing you all down here...

Laters

Hi folks. Just to add that this a a great chance for an informal meet at a great site with loads of different challenges. I have been to every one of the meets since getting my Mk.I and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Making some great friends and learning a lot on how to get the most out of these trucks. It will be great to get some of us ITOC lads, lasses and ITOClings down there.

I will also add that there is a BBQ onsite that is usually on the go throughout the day. People are encouraged to bring bits and pieces to throw on the pile to keep hungry mud pluggers going ... you can even join in the fun of trying to cook food quicker than we can eat it.

Another point to add is this is open for kids as well, though as you can understand that children have to be under supervision by a parent or guardian at all times. There will be vehicles driving around most of the time day and night (yes you can go around the woods when it is dark which makes things very interesting). The woods are open for you to walk around and watch the action as it takes place, but again care has to be taken.

Usual rules about driving sensibly (i.e. no drink driving) apply, though usually we all have a party in the evenings around the bonfire.

If you want to come then as said put your name down along with what days you wish to attend ... i.e.

Gregster, Sally and bunch of frontera driving wierdos/nutters ... Fri-Mon
Neal Rhangawotsit...Shiny Isuzu driving wierdo/nutter! ... Fri-Mon

Whilst we try and keep the location off our site of the web, due to the idiot element who unfortunately share our hobby, if you need an idea of location for this and future meets then if you Googlemap Maidstone in kent, that will put you within a few miles of where we are at.

Look forwards to meeting some of you soon hopefully

Sounds good to me mate...(other than the van bit...but if needs must then the van it is!)

Will take you out for an experience in my BGL...
"Big green leafer"
She's a beast... leaf sprung lwb with 2.4i litres of raw power!
Standard height but is gaining more ground clearance as a virtual lift is accomplished by attrition underneath...
Welded front diff, LSD rear, Buggered Bronco Dirtdevils which I attacked with my tyre cutter to try a squeeze another bit of life out of them...and some special brew petrol of rather high octane level!
It all adds up to fun...

Will be great if you can make it down, and any others to...

Who else hails from down this neck of the woods, that we can tempt into a fun day out???

Sunday is fine buddy. I will pm all people coming my phone number closer to the time so I can lead them to the site. Amongst other things its awkward to describe and SatNavs have hissy fits.

You could always pop down for the day rabbit.
