Christmas extravaganza at Bill's Bloc 25/26 Nov 2023

Post by rmitchell »

It is time for our annual Christmas camping trip at “Bills Block” in Dixons Creek. This property owned by a friend of the club is located just 20 minutes from Lilydale. Address in the members section or PM me.

Suitable for all vehicles with tracks ranging from very easy to very hard on the property, camping access for 2wd vehicles is also available

A roast dinner will be provided by the club with a range of meat and veggies on offer, RSVP here If you would like to be included (Thank you to insert chef here for organising this)

Cost is $15 per head which will be donated to bill for camping and use of his property


This year in addition to the traditional roast and drive, we will be putting on a few demonstrations:

-Safe recovery techniques, tips and tricks
-Winching techniques and safety
-Chain saw demo, techniques and safety
-And inevitably an unplanned car fixing demo!


Meeting at 10am on the Saturday, ending midday Sunday
BYO drinks, plates and eating utensils, chairs and camping gear (and food besides dinner)

All members welcome including new and prospective members as well as partners and kids. See you all then!

Attendees:
Andrew
Luke
Steve, Hannah, Aaron, and Liam
Doug
Mitch

I will be there at this point. I'm keen to have most of the foods sorted before we head up. Any one have some thoughts on food?

Yes chainsaws are a good idea as not much has been done as far as tree work with Bill away at the moment
