There is a £16 per year membership fee.
In addition you have to pay a £10 deposit in return for your Hi Vis Vest, Membership ID card and Vehicle sticker. This is refundable on return of those items.
No! There are lots of things you can do to support the group without a 4x4, sometimes we are just on roads anyway, you can ride to help with another member, help fund raise or run the group... !
Are you a single marque group/Land rover club etc?
No! All brands are welcome here. We do attend some 4x4 shows for publicity and some of these are single marque but we try to take a variety of vehicles to them if the rules let us!
What equipment must I have?
There is not a massive requirement the code of conduct says you need the following:
a notebook, & pencil
torch
a first aid kit
jack
wheel brace to fit vehicle
a shovel
recovery/tow rope of sufficient strength to recover their vehicle.
Many members do not ALWAYS carry their shovel.
What will I be provided with?
Once you join you will get (in return for a deposit):
Hi Vis Vest with 4x4 Response print
Window Cling sticker
ID Card
All of these are returnable and remain the property of the group.
Do I need a modified vehicle - winches etc.
No! You do not need anything more than it came out of the factory with.
There is a place for 'tooled up' off-road machines but it is by no means the only thing the group needs.
Good recovery points front and rear is an ideal minor modification.
Do I need to be available 24/7/52?
No - we run a system so we know during a busy period when and where people are available and match them to the jobs.
Can I choose if I should accept a task?
Absolutely - when a task is assigned you have the first option to decide if it is OK for you and your vehicle/equipment. Your decision to turn down a task is always respected.
