We had lots of positive feedback from public, event organisers, etc. We had a great display both at the club stand and also at the features, with over 20 club members attending. Allan T and his team made a great job putting all bits together and showing a significant improvement from previous shows. Big thanks to Adrian, Andy & Liz, Dave & Mark! We also need to remember that this was only possible given some important donations made by club members (Jim Carr, Allan T and others) to fund equipment such as the power generator, stand structure and other items. The club needs contribution to all of us, so I would encourage all to liaise with Allan T should you have any item that you think you can lend/ donate to the club, particularly memorabilia and clothing! Also a big thank you to Brian Reynolds and his wife for being so nice and open to club members, particularly Brian's speech on his experience at the G4! Kim also did a great job liaising with Brian and raising interest from members of the public to the club ( and even found a buyer for CBale's Disco!). Mr. Alan Edwards always busy, still managed to squeeze some time to help as well! Glen and his friend Phil came all the way from Norwegian to cook the famous moose and new club member Simon also came from Germany to collect his new D3 G4, welcome all! Finally, all those that participated in the Interclub Challenge, again put on their orange hats to face others teams. Even with only half of the team size on Sunday, we managed to win the "Team Spirit Award" given by the marshalls on site given our efforts to complete the tasks and enthusiasm! Hey Brian, you will be proud of that, hein?! We were awarded a case of Stella, which I kept one for the records of the club and the remainder was easily consumed by the team! Bring it on G4OC, the season has resumed and we are off to a good start! Augusto (The O.C.) Secretary - G4 Challenge Owners Club D3 2006 event BN55 WRG LRG4C11 Stages 3 & 4 Bolivia

Chris and I went to visit the major LR magazine stands on Sunday and have managed to 'build some bridges' with them and have drummed up interest in them publishing items about our club.... so if you have anything of interest, please do let Chris know. :D As Augusto mentioned, I 'hijacked' a member of the Freelander club and convinced him that ORANGE is the way forward.... and it has certainly paid off as he will also be joining our club as well as buying Chris Bale's D2. :D Chris has some more photos to process and put up....... ;) Kim & Chris :D ___________________________________________ Kim (Born to shop.... :P) Allsebrook (aka willowkis) I've been Tango'd G4 110 - BV55 ZBU - Now registered as K1 CAA Vehicle No. 112 Set-Up & Logistics Thailand & Laos

Also thanks to Kim for manning the Exhibition since the Event team were stretched with the club stand, so this makes Kim part of the Event Team I guess:D Some snaps: Saturday, setup finally complete and a quick pose.. Who is that posing ? You know who of course..it's our Brian with Andy. He alos wants Andy's Freelander, so keep it polished Andy! Some familiar faces..(congratulations by the way!)

b Group: Event Members Posts: 104, Visits: 648	Hi All, It was a pleasure to see you all at Gaydon and the club was looking strong, especially as there were 2 stands to be covered at opposite ends of the site! The Team Spirit Award for the inter-club challenge is particularly fitting with Tim Pickering and me, as we all have the 'never give up' and 'enjoy the adventure' spirit! Thanks to everyone who was 'promoting' the sale of my Disco2, hopefully there are enought fliers left over to hand some out at Driffield this weekend too! It's a shame BD52CSO has to go, but the cash flow for the building works at home need to take priority for putting a roof over the family's head! I've got some photo's of Alan's (i think it was Alan, who was feeling ill?) Defender in Morocco too - so if someone can let me know his Forum name or his e-mail i will send them to him. (it was BN55WRP) Cheers, see you all at Gaydon! Brian. Brian Reynolds 2006 Land Rover G4 Challenge Team Spirit Winner
