I am aware of the following people who were at Saturday's event that were early members of the Rover-Landers;

Andre Maier
Ray Wood
Aart van der Star
John Parsons

There were are few other old faces there as well but I can't recall details in regards to membership.

I had run across an early membership list just recently but as luck would have it I now can't seem to put my hands on it.

Technically John and Aart are the only two that were at the original meeting that created the club.I was a year after and was there when the club was legal.Ray came later.

I've got a bunch of photos I'd like to submit to the gallery; how do I do that?

Hello all. I haven’t read any comments on the driving "mud" course set up out back. I for one thought it was a great addition to the event and would like to thank those involved with setting it up. I would love to see any photos take by those who ventured out for a little fun before the show. I know there were a quite a few vehicles out there. Did anyone take pictures?

Mud hill photos ....

Hi,
Yes, I agree the mud hill was a fun addition to the event. It all got a little too mushy after a several hours of continuous rain and then snow!
The deep ruts and boggy mud were proving to be a little more challenging than expected.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the feedback.

I saw Dave B taking some photos on the mud hill so keep an eye on the Galley, they will get posted soon.
cheers,
Andy

Ha! Forgot I had those pictures. Thanks for reminding me Andy. A few are out of focus due to the lousy weather and wet camera, but you'll get the idea...

cheers, Dave

Just in case you haven't noticed there are now a number of photos of the mud course and the indoor show posted in the gallery. Pamela wants to know if anyone took some photos of the informational demonstrations. If so could you please email them to me or her.
