Group: G4 Member Posts: 131, Visits: 3.6K	I joined the club 2 years ago in the belief that other owners, like me, would use their G4's as they were intended. Doing such things as off roading, weekends away, mountain bikes, kyaks and camping. Only once has there been a possible event, on the river Wye, which was ideal, but that was postponed again and again and then cancelled. So it is with sad regret that I have decided not to renew my membership with the club. I would jump at the chance of rejoining, if the strategy of the club changes, to become real off road enthusiasts. I wish you all the best for the future. Sadly goodbye. Sandy G4 Disco 3 08

A lot of members do organize trips to areas such as the peak district but they are usually discussed at shows that we attend every year. The club is more biased towards attending shows and the forum and not going "off roading" there are clubs more suited to this like the local area glass meetings that actively do such trips away camping. Members are always welcome to help organize a trip away and support the committee, as there is a lot more to organizing such weekends away than you would realize.

I have received lots of advice since joining, but I would not take my D3 G4 anywhere other than around our fields. My young daughter uses the bike and Kayak - under supervision. For serious off roading, I think a person would be better off obtaining a vehicle adapted for this purpose, as do the farm guys around me - 'rolled it again, dented it again, - what the hell' !! Mine stands me too much money to do the rough stuff, but I still want to be involved where and when possible. Hope to meet up with you one day. Tony D3G4 BD08VRX Fleet No. 27 now on 3602 TE

Group: G4 Club Member Posts: 413, Visits: 3.7K	Hi Sandy, I agree with your comments. :) It now remains for like minded people to get together and do something of mutual interest - as has been suggested in a previous reply. For my part, I'm booked in at Eastnor towards the end of this month, but for the whole day course this time - I want to use that steep concrete incline - up and down :w00t: then the rock / boulder section ;) using their D4's of course !! Not bad for a 68 year old dull bugger :P Should you be visiting the Newport - Gwent area in the future, then you are welcome to come to the farm, where we have some steep sections of grass, and a bit of outcrop rock to try should you really want to :w00t: You could even camp out with the sheep !! There you are - now you can stay in the club :) Best wishes, Tony D3G4 BD08 VRX Fleet No 27 now 3602 TE
