Platinum Member Volant165 Posted February 20, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted February 20, 2022 Hi All, Here is a heads up of events in the works for 2022. As we are a small team and I have several scheduled maintenance visits this year, we could use some more volunteers. It is very rewarding and the more we volunteers we have (especially regionally for a local event) the better. Contact jim.olexa@jeepowners.club CLUB EVENTS FOR 2022** February 26 Saturday Cars and Coffee @ Unity Automotive March Group Leaders (one group) Shropshire Green Lanes Reccie April 2 Slindon Safari Tickets and prices VIP Members - £27 Booking opens 20th February 2022 Gold Members - £32 Booking opens 26th February 2022 Silver Members - £37 Booking opens 5th March 2022 May Thetford Forest Reccie and introduction for new group leaders TBD June Thetford Forest with camping TBD 11th-12th June American Speediest, Brands Hatch August Summer Camp TBD September 16-18 Belgium Jeeper's Days October Aldermaston TBD December Kielder Forest ** Dates and availability depending on venue availability 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member UKTJ Posted February 20, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Does that mean Salisbury Plain is off the cards for the foreseeable? Sad, but understandable if others have caused issues. Did you forget Speedfest? Edited February 20, 2022 by UKTJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member JimC Posted February 20, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted February 20, 2022 Chris was at Salisbury Plain last Saturday and this is what he reported - "Yes got over there Saturday, still very wet but a lot drier than 3 weeks ago , tracks still chewed up and looks like there has been a lot of use. Normally will see couple of groups on there but was a lot of 4x4’s and bikes about . Should be good for a trip depending on how much rain this week brings . Forecast isn’t great and rain until Sunday I believe" So we are still waiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member JimC Posted February 20, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted February 20, 2022 Thetford Forest - Training event and reccie for new members who would like to volunteer to become group leaders for green lane events. If you have the spare time and are willing to volunteer your services to the club to lead a small group of members on a green lane event then this might be for you. What is involved - For this event, we will start with doing a reccie around Thetford Forest to see what lanes are open, check the condition of the lanes and note down any lanes that might cause concern due to the state of the tracks, if they are passable for all types of Jeeps and if there are any risk of damage from overgrown foliage, ruts in the road, etc. We can then map the chosen routes in a GPS mapping software so that when we run the event, we know the route. Nice to have is a SatNav or tablet/phone that has GPS and is able to load saved routes A CB would be good. If you are interested in volunteering then please do let me know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member UKTJ Posted May 12, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted May 12, 2022 I wondered if there was any update on the Thetford event from the opening post? And whether things have calmed down enough around Salisbury Plain to allow a JoC event - it must have dried out by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding Thetford, I am planning a trip around September / October once the summer holidays are out the way. A few members are planning on a pub meet around the Thetford area which will no doubt end in a drive around some of the lanes - details here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member V Posted May 13, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted May 13, 2022 Sorry, I have been a bit busy. I've not forgotten, just not had the time to get out and look for a reasonable venue. Will try to next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member V Posted June 3, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted June 3, 2022 I have been researching routes but I am unlikely to be able to organise a pub meet until after Stu's Hawkstone event in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Hawkstone was next week (same weekend as Speedfest), or am I all confused? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member UKTJ Posted September 3, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted September 3, 2022 Is November 6th a definite date for Aldermaston? Realise details may be a way off, but just need to get it in my diary if to is, as with other commitments I struggle to fit things in if they are short notice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
