And anything else that you would like to discuss. I’m also hoping to have some vehicle scales to weigh your rigs. (If you want to)

Equipment:  Bring your caravan, camper or trailer.  It's great to bring your partner so that you can both understand how to act as a spotter and how to give clear instructions that you both understand.  

Additional items required: UHF Radios, One for the driver and one for the spotter.  Bring morning tea and your own lunch. Toilets are available.  Please note the Club does have spare radios that can be used on the day with prior arrangement.
