As always, we will be looking for a few happy volunteers to turn up early again (around 9-10am)... many hands make light work :idea:

Let us know if you can help out ...

Cheers,
Andy

I can volunteer if needed. I will bring a couple of Rovers. And I will be giving away free tickets to the NW Overland Rally and the new BC Overland Rally for the raffle.

Thanks to all the offers to help with set and take down. I have made a list of all those who have signed up so far.

For those helping with set up, arrival time is by 9am.
For those helping with wrap up / clean up its likely to be around 7pm.
For those who cant be there early and cant stay late, there is always a helping hand needed during the event....

Looking forward to another great turn out again this year! If you have Land Rover, get it ready and join in!

Cheers, Andy

That's correct, there will be a local off-road run on Sunday 19th Feb

For those who don't know, Our Annual Snowflake Chase is always held on the Sunday after Founders Day, it will typically be a meet at 9.30am and back on the road before 4pm. It's basically a fun local run to set the year off to a good start! The exact location, meeting place and more details will be confirmed nearer the date....

Hope you can make it!

Hi Guys:
At the AGM, I said I could help for Founder's Day, but as it turns out, I will not be able to be there before about 1300, due to a Memorial service for one of our members. I'll come late. For Pam (as she always seems to be operating the door, g'bless her!): Can I come in late, say around 1330 at the latest? Please?

Thanks, and sorry about this,
Steve
PS. They just driopped a memorial tea on me as well, so I won't be able to come on the Snowflake Chase either...

Just a reminder, Founders Day 2017 just a few days away....

We have a load of great Land Rover & Camping goodies to raffle away and a newly designed Rover-Landers shirt for 2017.
Lots of second hand Land Rover parts, remember to bring lots $cash$ as we can't accept Credit or debit cards...

We are expecting our best Founders Day to date, so don't miss out, its only one weekend every year!!! :bounce:

See you on Saturday,
-Andy

Interesting collection of trucks, nice group of people, good prizes and some fun events. Well organized and a friendly atmosphere; a class act as always. Thank you to the organizers and volunteers for another great Founders Day gathering! I've posted a quick video of the obstacle course https://youtu.be/99JAJLqKYZk and would love to see some others.

Cheers, Rob

A big thanks to the organizers, volunteers, & attendees. My family and I had a great day, my young son was thrilled to bits with all the trucks & running through the ruts in the obstacle course.
Hope to see lots of you again through the summer.
