PROSPECTIVE MEMBER GUIDE

  1. You need to own or have access to a road registered, mechanically sound 4WD vehicle with high and low range gears. VW Amaroks and other suitability low geared vehicles are exempt from the low range provision. Owners of ‘Soft Roaders’ and ‘All Wheel Drives’ vehicles may join the Club, however, use of such vehicles on a Club Trip is dependent on approval from the Trip Manager.
  2. Your vehicle does not need to be highly modified although some basic equipment is required. For instance, you do not need a winch, however, you will need rated recovery points and a 5 watt UHF radio.
  3. Speak to either the President or the Secretary expressing your interest in joining the Club. You will be provided with details about the Cockburn 4WD Club to ensure that it is the most suitable club for what you are seeking.
  4. The Cockburn 4WD Club is a family orientated, touring club. The Club is environmentally conscious and respects the tracks it uses and our fellow 4WD community. We are not an ‘extreme’ 4WD Club. Our General Meetings are open to the public.
  5. Members are expected to make a reasonable effort to attend General Meetings and Trips on a regular basis, although it is appreciated that not all Members are able to attend every Meeting/Trip due to other commitments.
