Queens Birthday Weekend Police Blitz

Hahaha. Yeah don't forget they WOKE UP at 10 and then had to pack up camp... We did not roll out until 11.30! But yeah this trip has helped us to identify a few issues that should be controllable, ie if you are not ready by the set time then you will be left behind. Every one else was packed up and fed by 8.30am

Mr Winnie, your club won't be sleeping in with Jnr Winnie soon to come :-) ! Bacon & Eggs & the tranquil morning sounds of ?........... :-) Thaty'll stir em out !!

Yeah we have convoy rules written down.
We are still only a very young club though and this was our biggest trip, we had 8 cars.
We are trying not to get too strict on things like that but we have had a bit of a chat between the committee and we are going to start sticking to departure times and work some other stuff out.

I was on Committee for my Club for nearly 10 years mate, I was Regionsl Rep and PRO. I have run a heap of club day trips and would be very happy to have a chat sometime. Glad your club is coming together.

Starting times are as simple as choosing the roll time and letting everyone know before people get drunk or head to bed. "we have got s big day tomorrow. We will roll out of Camp at 8:30am"

Unfortunately your member was on a different page. Long weekend, holiday, sleep in. Was very incondiderate. But. They did not know there was a plan.

Yeah that's it mate, like I said it was good for us to see the kind of issues that can come up if you don't have something in place to stop it from happening in the first place.
So we will have set departure times on the next trip for sure.

Slight Hi-jack. Speaking about punctuality on club runs etc...(or lack of)
What Darren just said is the exact reason "rolling" high country trips went to shit, twice on me.
Both time we had a plan. Camp first night, early next morning, get going by 8 do some tracks , site seeing, hut visits etc, camp elsewhere. Then rinse and repeat the next night / morning.
Now i'm an early riser, always have been. Up at 6-630, get a fire going, coffee, enjoy the serenity... Other folks had other intentions, even though there was a time plan set in place. A lot of drinking the night before, some guys/girls were up 10-11am. By the time coffee/brekky was had, it was 12-1pm. If winter time, you have 2-3 hours of daylight left...
Your original plan is out the window. So now just stay at original camp spot and enjoy.
It gave me the shits as I really wanted to make use most of the daylight up in the high country.
Total respect to people who like sleep-ins, etc... But if there is a schedule to adhere to, well.....

Wow!!! Mate have been on club trips that would have people standing next to that sleeping camp and VERY LOUDLY TALKING about needing people to get ready to go. I have seen people get pretty sh1ty about that. That's crazy timing though to be honest! I know people that would have left them where they were!

Interesting read Winnie, lucky we don't have such issues as it could be frustrating at the least.
We have on occasions said we want an early get away to visit something in particular, and will meet the rest at a designated point be it camp, town, pub , servo whatever.
The reverse could also apply, you as a group are leaving at 8.30 and will have lunch near here or camp there. Open for mix-ups and finding a camp already full but that is what happens.
Tough love some may say.
What is interesting is when we do leave camp early sometimes others want to join us. We normally pack everything possible the night before, get away a quietly as possible and have our "noisy" brekky on the track with the sun rise... beautiful.
Congratulation's for having a go and figuring out the nicest way to bring everyone on to the same page.

100% if your going to run a traveling trip then set departures are very important. It's not fair to everyone else otherwise. If your base camping there running day trips then if someone has a big night they can opt out and not smash the whole trip.

I'd be furious!
