Nugget - they said we must only put over the ones thats close to the vehicle and might touch so if I am correct 1 lenght should be fine.

Post by **pietpetoors** » Thu Oct 07, 2010 1:50 pm

OK, All participants and marshal please concentrate:

Hi There

Well it is only a couple of days left now so please read this e-mail carefully and pass it on to your team members.

I am going to briefly tell you about the program and what is expected of each team/club: (It is a bit long but at least you will know exactly what is happening)

Friday

The planning committee will be at Ou TrekPad from about 08h00, we are going to be putting up signs, tents and laying out the parking area’s etc.

After that we will position the event’s caravan near the obstacles and put some finishing touches to the various gates/obstacles.

Clubs are welcome to come through on Friday to finish their gates.

We will then receive the toilets and do all the last minute things like make up prizes and so forth ….

If you sleep over and you have spectators with you please ensure they pay their entry fee as this is our indemnity and cover for them being there.

Saturday

08h00

We want to start scrutinizing vehicles and checking indemnity forms, entry forms at 08h00 sharp.

Please be organized and have your drivers and co-drivers indemnity forms separate to your marshals. Declare your family connections here as well.

We will have spare forms if necessary but remember if you cause/create hold ups it is going to affect our whole event.

08h30

We want to have the marshals briefing, here we will hand your items to be used at your gate to you as well as envelopes with score sheets for each team.

So if you are at a gate as the chief marshal you will receive 8 envelopes with team names on, inside each envelope will be 6 six score sheets for that gate and time slot.

Write the number of each team and the drivers name or reg. on it. Once they have completed the gate, hand all six sheets and the envelope to the allocated radio operator

The radio operator will add up the scores and transmit the individual as well as the team score to the radio control where it will be entered on the laptop.

The radio operator will put the team’s 6 score sheets into the envelope and seal it. This will be collected and kept for verification and moderation.

There will be a ninth 9 envelope with spare score sheets in case you make a mistake. Only use this in emergencies.

Attached will be the revised time schedule please do not make changes and note that we will only work off our one. ( I have since protected it)

Marshalls remember to add the family connection to the scoresheet- The Clerk Of The Course will provide more details on this.

When you are free at the gate the photographer will come round to take a team photo of you and your gate.
Marshals are to control their gate and surrounding area, please try to avoid letting spectators park too close.
Have your recovery vehicle ready for action, shackles and tow strap ready, please only let experienced people do recoveries.
Have fie extinguishers ready.
Safety First

09h00

Welcoming and Drivers briefing

We will have a short welcome and drivers briefing.

Drivers should stay together in their teams and move smartly from one gate to the next.

There will be a designated area near the event caravan where you must report for your team photo session.

Obviously we can’t run after you so read your time schedules carefully.

If you don’t finish a gate in the allocated time slot for the team, 30min you will be stopped and moved on to your next gate.

Obey all the marshals and watch out for pedestrians
Wear your safety belt at all times- penalties will be imposed for not wearing it, driver and co-driver.
You will receive a booklet after scrutinizing which will have all the instructions in it as well as a history of the farm.

Please read the booklet carefully.

No arguing with Marshals please, refer any disputes to the Clerk of the Course.
Remember we are trying to promote our sport and build inter team relations.
As slow as possible as fast as necessary.

Your team number and marshal number is your entry into the draw, drivers and co-drivers will each have a separate number in the draw.

You must produce your team number to claim the prize.

Please study the time schedule beforehand and make sure you know where to go, keep your team order according to your numbers i.e. 1 goes first and 6 goes last.

Lunch 12h30-13h00 for all
Last gate ends at 15h55 if all goes to schedule.

We hope to start the prize giving at 17h00 or sooner.

Spectators will receive spot prizes as well as lucky draws, you must produce your ticket to win the lucky draw and be there.

List of team awards, on some we will ask for input from spectators, drivers and marshal as well as have roving judges.

Ist Place Overall Winner- Floating trophy and Certificate
2nd Place – Certificate
3Rd Place Certificate
Team Awards - Certificates
Team with the most Gees
Team with the most Support
Best Dressed Team
Best Set Out gate
Best Marshaled Gate
Most Fun Gate
Fair Play Award

Due to the numerous changes that are taking place on a daily basis it is not feasible to pre-print the participant’s certificates and it will be an impossible task on Saturday.

So we will print them after the event and give them to the team representatives to hand to the team members.

You will all however receive medals on the day.

I trust all makes good sense, and please pass it on to your teams so that they know what is happening.

Many Thanks

See you there

Kind Regards
Ashley

What a day!
I would like to thank everybody who attended and participated. I would like to say a special thanks to our marshals. They held the Hilux4x4 name high last weekend, some of the other teams did not pitch up to build their obstacles and our marshal team jumped it and did it.

This was a fun filled day and was much more fun what I could ever have dreamed it would be.

I do not know what all the results was but I do know that our marshals won the price for the best marshaled gate, congratulations

The driver team did not end under the top 3, but I am sure we must have been very clse. I think we did very well with vehicles with a turning circle of an ox wagon.

I appreciate the fact that our team had no problems or arguing, only good Hilux spirit throughout the day.

There was not much time for photographs but there were many photographers so I am sure we will get more photographs later on.

Above pic was taken at our Club's obstacle.

At this one they put 5 tennis balls in a tray on the bonnet and you then have to go trough some big holes without loosing your balls. It went very well we only lost 4 balls for the whole team.

Another tennis ball pic

At this one you had to negotiate a rather easy trail and then stop with the nose of the vehicle above a tyre

Thanks from my side for all that made it an exceptionally lekker day... well done to the marshals, we did it!

A special word of thanks to Shimano(Wynand) for stepping in, for a sick Allan(Hoppy), at the last moment... it paid off beautifully... Wynand won, in my opinion, the best prize of the day! I'll leave him to tell you all more about that one... yes I'm jealous!

May I comment as an "outsider" ?

I was roped in to assit at the 4x4Community gate. We were about 20m from the Hilux gate.

NICE !

The Hilux team were well organized and did a nice job! The two ACTIVE advertisers also did a LOT to add flair to your gate.

Congrats to your Marchalls and drivers !

Now what can I say - Luck of the Draw.
I won a set of Good Year Wrangler MTR tyres -- thank you Good Year.

Congratulations to all our marshalls, you have done a brilliant job at our gate and the span gees was tops.

Guys - Thanks for the great team spirit and just being a bunch of cool people !!!
I am proud to say I am a HILUX member and will take anybody on he says anything about us.

Next year we are bringing home all the prizes !!! But the best prize is still owning a HILUX

Cant wait for the end of the month to meet all the other members and have a braai.

WELL DONE

King Rat · Post by **King Rat** » Tue Oct 12, 2010 8:00 am

First of all, a big thank you to Ciske and the guys for an excellent obstacle!

There was a lot of hard work put into it and you could see that. And it was a joy to behold Ciske’s face after the event and he could crack the first frosty! :razz:

I also want to thank all the other gate’s marshals who treated all of us very well and somethimes kindly. My co-pilot dropped the egg in the spoon and egg obstacle before we even started off and we got another chance,

I haven’t laughed that much in a long time.

I think this event was one of the highlights of the Hilux4X4 Club and the camaraderie between the Hilux guys has now been cemented.

And a big thank you to our sponsors to make the day that more special. I HAD A BALL!

I received an email from the organizer of the event. We need somebody to go collect the certificates and stuff next week.

Ciske are you busy next week? Or anybody else who can represent us?
See message quoted below:

Good Day All

I trust everyone is still well and that you had a great past 4 months.

Yes it has been so long already since the event.

Unfortunately the printing of certificates got a bit held up due to end of the year commitments and although they were ready early December it was decided to rather hand them out early in the new year.

So the plan is meet at Bobby’s ( Upstairs Pub at Northern’s Rugby Club in De Grendel Road) at 18h00 on 17th February 2011 where we will hand to you, the Club representatives or anyone you nominate to be there the certificates for Drivers and Co-Drivers as well as all the Marshals that assisted, as well as a DVD with photo’s on it.

The invitation is obviously extended to the drivers and marshals as well if they wish to attend.

Please let me know if you can attend
Kind Regards
Ashley
