Autumn BBQ

Our Club Autumn BBQ is this weekend Sunday 25th Sept at 12.30 on the hill at the clay shooting area.

I will provide some grub, sausages and burgers with rolls, please bring you own drinks and anything else you want.

Could you please let me know if you are attending so we can buy the appropiate ammount of food.

Pic is of the balmy day we had for our Spring BBQ.

The site is super at the moment with the rain making the newly cleared tracks very slippery.

Here's hoping for a sunny day on Sunday and Scotland beating Argentina!!

Visitors

We had 22 Norwegians here today for a fun 4x4 day out, pic shows a winching demo for them.

2nd pic is of the Scottish Mud Club, who visited recently, gathered on top of the site looking out to the East Lomond hill.

We are now finished the holiday period so will try and post a bit more often. Sorry been lazy during August!!

A lot of JCB work has been completed on the site, new tracks and some bushes cleared. There is much more to drive on now and the site is looking great. Walter

SORC last sunday

The SORC brought seven vehicles on site last Sunday for their Treasure Hunt outing, pic shows them comparing notes on the north side of the site.

I was chef at a BBQ we had at the house so I did not see them at all but they found all the treasure and had a laugh.

Two new Club members this week, welcome Steven and Carl who are both locals with Hilux and Range Rover. Carl brought his RR back from New Zealand with him!

The builders have just started the new house for my parents in law just below reception, there may be the odd builders van parked in the car park but hopefully they will keep the place clean.

Tay 4x4 Club booked in for this coming Sunday 31st. All the best, Walter

Balvaird Charity Day

We took part in the Charity Event run by neighbour John MacGregor today, pic shows the event and two of the three vehicles we had driving guests around our 4x4 site.

It was a great day out, very well attended and they should have raised a lot of money. The collection of vintage cars was, to quote one visitor, "better than the scottish motor show"!!

What's happened to summer? W

July + August

The variety of vehicles we will be training operators for BORDA during July and August.

All good fun!!

Training

Starting a new training contract for an international telecommunications company now. It should be fun as Ken and I have to train drivers for Scot Track, Polaris Ranger, Toyota Hilux and Land Rover Discovery.
The site is wet again after all the rain last week, always happens around T in the Park!!

Tractor tyres

I have scattered old tractor tyres in selected places around the site to make drivers use a slightly different track, this helps prevent erosion and allows some vegetation to grow. Please leave them where they are for now.
Pic is of our Simba looking at the tyres, I think or perhaps it's a rabbit!
5 new Club members this month with Suzuki's, a Cherokee and 110's. Plenty of water still on site but we are needing a bit of rain to make it slippery again.
We have, as usual, a lot of people redeeming Christmas Gift Vouchers at this time of year and are now fully booked at weekends until the 16th July for anyone reading this and still wanting to book. Roll on summer, Walter.
