Area Representative Stu2985 Posted November 15, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted November 15, 2019 Cannock Chase the Twilight zone. This is a member organised event not a JOC sponsored event. After the last Cannock Chase event several members expressed an interest in the guided twilight run around Cannock Forest and Foresttrax who run the trip have asked if we would be interested in coming back. I have therefore arranged for JOC members to get first dibs on 10 slots on Saturday January 4th. Its on a first booked first served basis. There is plenty to do in the morning and lunchtime at Cannock inc Geocaching, Go ape, walks in the forest and cycle rides. Its a popular and busy area and we will have our own private area. The event will start late afternoon as we start off we will then drive the area as its grows dark and carry on through right into total darkness. Imagine one long green lane night trip that lasts for a few hours. The chance to Green Lane at night on public greenlanes is often frowned upon. Off road sites don't open in the dark so where else can you go to see how those LED's and light bars perform whilst off roading ? Check out some of the previous pictures to see details of the event. To reserve your space You can pay Foresttrax directly with the following details. The cost is £50 per vehicle. Acc number 20253294 sort code 23-69-72 With regards to payment reference please put your name down as your reference and prefix it with SP. For example SP Jim Olexa. Its going to be a popular event that they don't have to open up to us to fill but they did enjoy having us last time on the daylight run. If we don’t take all 10 slots then you may end up sharing with lesser marques !!! Please note this is suitable for 4 wheel drive Jeeps only. I will be there as well. Times and RVP will be passed on nearer the time. Members attending Stu digger PDB Any questions ping me Stewart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member digger Posted December 1, 2019 Platinum Member Share Posted December 1, 2019 Hi Stu, Having read PDBs comments I paid by bank transfer using the refs/instructions you gave. My bank said the money had gone but I've never received any acknowledgement or anything else. Thought you might like to know. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member digger Posted December 4, 2019 Platinum Member Share Posted December 4, 2019 Hi Stu, I thought I'd better let you know, I emailed 'foresttrax' on their email 48hrs ago re the whereabouts of my payment. At the mo I have had no response. If I hear nothing I will ring the number quoted on the net ie 0300 068 0400. After that I am away until the 10th. I do not want to lose out on this event, noting that the deadline is the 9th, I paid on the 19th and my bank says the money has gone to them. I will update once I've rung them.

Platinum Member digger Posted December 5, 2019 Platinum Member Share Posted December 5, 2019 Hi , I would appreciate it if anyone can supply me with a tel no. for this forestrax. company. They have not replied to my emails, do not publish a phone no. that I have found and I have just wasted an hour trying to get in touch with no result. I'd like to know where my £50 has gone. As an aside, I and a number of friends are so fed up with companies that are difficult to get hold of that we now check first if they have proper access details. If not wherever possible we go elsewhere. Perhaps others would like to take this idea up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member digger Posted December 5, 2019 Platinum Member Share Posted December 5, 2019 Hi, I have a list of the worst companies I've ever had to deal with and will never deal with them again. BT is number one ! Its quite incredible that it was 7/8 yrs ago and they still hold no. one spot. Incompetent management really annoys me. The managers often have bits of paper up to their ears and the companies frequently have accountants as CEOS. Ok for short term profit but awful for long term growth and customer service in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Stu2985 Posted December 5, 2019 Author Area Representative Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) digger let me have your name and email details and i wil l speak to Steve at forestrax. I have been chatting to him today and he did say ther were at least 3 jeepers booked in. He has said he has had payments not using any ref at all. Not saying yours is one of them. If you have paid then your slot will be secured. I have asked steve to confirm who has signed up Edited December 5, 2019 by Stu2985 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member Stew the Jeep Posted December 6, 2019 Platinum Member Share Posted December 6, 2019 Seems the event is already open to all makes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Stu2985 Posted December 6, 2019 Author Area Representative Share Posted December 6, 2019 I spoke to the site yesterday and given the numbers that have signed up it was agreed to offer the available spaces to others. Cant expect them to run an event for only 3 vehicles. They have a facebook page Forestrax4x4 off road adventures. That is probably fastest way to get a reply.

Platinum Member digger Posted December 6, 2019 Platinum Member Share Posted December 6, 2019 What's happened to all those 'Jeepers' who expressed an interest in this? It sounds like a gr8 event . How often do we get the chance of night driving? Come on folks get and sign up before all those landies do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Stu2985 Posted December 7, 2019 Author Area Representative Share Posted December 7, 2019 It is disappointing. There was a lot of interest. Forestrax didn’t have to offer us this opportunity. I asked them if we could have one of their runs dedicated to us only. I don’t know if it’s the date or the fact it’s not an official jeep owners sponsored event that has put folks off. I am trying to organise events for JOC members in the midlands area. Anyway Thankyou to those that have supported this and the previous event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member digger Posted December 7, 2019 Platinum Member Share Posted December 7, 2019 Well done Stu, I'll support any events that I can in Midlands and Wales. It would be nice to see some events in Devon/Somerset too. I'm getting a bit past it to do a lot now but I still have a lot of ideas and will help if I can. Perhaps we could have a chat on the phone or at Cannock maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The postcode is a bit iffy I did post pictures of the road and screenshots of the car park for the last event there but even that casused some confusion. Wil see if I can simply things tomrrow have a great new year Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member digger Posted January 1, 2020 Platinum Member Share Posted January 1, 2020 Dunno if this helps but I looked up Forestrax on Google maps and 'Range corner ' is marked on the 'Penkridge Bank Road'. Am I right that this is the meet point? Happy New Year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
