Good evening all, I have sent out the roster for the two day walk by email directly to those who are rostered on for the event. If you have not received the email containing the roster and have previously advised your availability please let me know through the wicen email address <mailto:wicen@crarc.ampr.org> (wicen(a)crarc.ampr.org). If you are not participating but would like to have a look at how we support this event, please let me know by email and we will make arrangements for this to occur. We have also had notice of another event - that being a carriage driving event out near Bungendore in early May, a call for volunteers for this event will be going out shortly.

Two day walk - call for volunteers
by Matt 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

Good evening all, hot on the heels of the great news that the NCR is being held at the end of May, we are now calling for volunteers to assist with communications for the 2 day walk. This year's event is being held on the first weekend in April (01/02 April), with the walk on the Saturday being the Centenary trail from near Hall, around the Eastern side of Gungahlin and then to the end point in Barton. The Sunday walk is around Lake Burleigh Griffin but in the opposite direction to last year's walk and a couple of the checkpoints have had small adjustments to their locations. To provide communications for this year's event, we need to be able to man 4 checkpoints on the Saturday, 6 checkpoints on the Sunday and the HQ between about 0730 and 1600 both days. Please advise of your availability to the wicen(a)crarc.ampr.org <mailto:wicen@crarc.ampr.org> email address, specifying what day(s) you are available and preferred timings (morning/arvo) and HQ/CP preferences.

National Capital Rally 2017 Date Change - now 26-28 May 2017 !
by Phil Longworth 04 Mar '17

04 Mar '17

Good afternoon all, (sent to ACT WICEN MEMBERS and CRARC Committee) to borrow some words from Mr Adrian Dudok, Clerk of Course for the National Capital Rally... Now that the cat is out of the bag we are at liberty to make the following announcement.... The 2017 Nat Cap will host a round of the APRC (Asia Pacific Rally Championship) in Canberra, the only catch is that we have to move the event to 26, 27 & 28 May. The committee of the BMSC is proud to have returned the APRC home to Canberra. For those that may not know, the old Rally of Canberra was for many many years a round of this international rally competition which is run by the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile or in English, the International Automobile Federation) however tha APRC moved to Queensland a number of years ago. The APRC is a championship held across 6 different countries (New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Japan, China and India). So, with the change in date we need to start hetting the WICEN effort ready to go a lot sooner that anticipated and so once we have an idea of the rally stages and timings we will be coming along and asking for people to volunteer their time to once again assist with this event. ...
