You get to make a donation to the Wellington Coastgaurd which is probably a volunteer organisation :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

looks like the Wainui coast trip in reverse, 100 vehicles should make it interesting for the organisers...... Slideways, just sing out if they want any help running it from ORE/Kiwi members?.

Skid...its a fundraiser trip :roll:

$50 is cheap for a fundraiser in the Wgtn area. I have seen some up to $75. Being a fundraiser you either want to give the money to the charity or you don't - it shouldn't be a question of what you get back for it. Most people it is the first chance ever to take their shiny off-road, and they feel there is safety in numbers, all 100 of them

Cheers Jerry but I'm just the messenger for a mate of a mate so Im not involved. A friend of mine emailed me to see if I was interested, his mate is one of the Coastguard volunteers. Its the first I've heard about it so thought I'd spread the word. 8) I'll be overseas at the time anyway.
