The
Victorian All Terrain Club was formed back in 1992 as an active
Mornington based 4wd club but folded shortly after, due to members other
business commitments. It was reformed officially in august 1998 by a
small group of keen 4 wheel drivers with a mission to bring together an
active group of people with similar interests.
The main focus of the club is 4wding with the politics kept to a bare
minimum.
The club is very active and family oriented, with currently over 40
memberships from all over Victoria. (i.e. Lilydale, Mornington, Keilor
and Moe) We run regular trips (Day & Weekend) to the Victorian High
Country, local areas and some extended trips throughout Australia. We are involved in
the V.A.F.W.D.C. activities, including collecting aluminium cans from
Woods Point as part of the Bush Can Plan which helps raise money for the
community of Woods Point. We have quite a few members who help out or compete in
inter-club events. We also have our own annual club navigation rally
which aims at teaching the members the finer points of navigation.
At our monthly meetings we try to incorporate demo nights and guest
speakers, such as First Aiders and 4WD businesses. We have the
occasional social function, such as bowling, drive-in nights etc with an
annual trip which involves nearly all members and their families.
Members vehicles include near standard Hilux's, Landcruiser's, Patrols
and also highly modified purpose built 4WD’s that will handle any
situation encountered, so our trips vary from beginner to serious
offroading.. |
