Cruise Guidlines and Rules

[Ska]

I think these are a GREAT idea:

Those people over in WA really got it down pat, and as a club I really think having one of these would be beneficial as then everyone knows where they stand and what they are responcable for on any SAUQLD organised cruise.

Opinions? Suggestions? Money? Gold? Precious Jewels? I take them all

Thanks Ska, we like to think we're organised:D

[wados]

good idea we should use the if the perth people dont mind

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Of course not. Our club SAUWA developed these guidelines to provide some level of protection from being held accountable for the way people drive on cruises. Your more than welcome to use or adapt them to your own needs. We have other club stuff if you ever need it too:D

Yeah just get everything you have and hoik it over this way thanks

A few extras I "thought" of (read stole from somewhere else):

- Please be aware of the surface you are stopped on. When exiting a meet point, note that there is probably another car behind you, and gravel does not do nice things to the fronts of cars.

- Check your equipment before you go. ie, tires, pressures, alignment, brakes, etc.

- Don't break any laws on the way to the cruise meet point. We don't want the constabulary breaking the cruise up before it starts...

- Watch out for wildlife!!! Especially true here in QLD...

- Stay alert, don't have things around that will distract you during the cruise.

- Look as far ahead of you as possible.

- No crossing into the oncoming lane! EVER!

- Do not take your ego to the cruise.

Some things you might want to bring along with you:

* Tools

* Jack

* Flashlight

* Rope

* Zipties

* Duct Tape

* Cell Phone

* UHF hand held or in car radio

At every cruise we have one of the SAUWA Commitee members(usually me) remind people about the cruise rules, and any potential hazards on the cruise. We try and keep our cruises away from residential areas aswell.

I'll put these up on the web page when I get the motivation I was actually in the process of drafting up some basic rules myself, but I'll use these instead as they cover mine plus a few extras I hadn't thought of.

Thanks to the WA guys for allowing us to use theirs, and to Adrian and the Rice Man for providing the lists

OK they're sitting on my hdd and they'll be up as soon as I can get friggen FTP to work properly... probably tomorrow at this rate...

Easy / simple / works

[Revhead]

Yep have tried DOS/command line FTP, IE6 both with the un/pw in the address and specifying them in the dialog, tried CuteFTP, and tried the DreamweaverMX built-in put stuff and configurations too. There must just be something wrong with it at the ISP end, it suddenly stopped working about 3:30 this arvo (I was doing web development at the time) and have tried it on two different PCs (albeit on the same DSL (ugh) connection). I might just leave it until tomorrow and see if it works then cos I cbf doing anything with it tonight

[Revhead]

Hey it just started working again! Weird. Ah well at least I can get back to the other sites I was working on before it dropped out thi afternoon... grrrr...

[krawler]

I blame DSL.

The arse of broadband.

Optus cable is the poo. Apart from 15 minutes of scheduled downtime about a year ago, I don't think I've ever had a problem with it that wasn't self-inflicted.

Not much good to me though when I'm using someone else's connection

Oh, on a more club-related note, cards have been printed and will be mailed out with stickers on Monday or Tuesday at the latest. Thanks for everyone's patience, and apologies for the delay :Oops:

Amen to that.

I love optus cable.

Back on topic for a moment (omg omg omg), the most important thing to bring to a cruise is common sense. Think, then act. And when I say think, I dont mean think about how cool is going to make you look.

Skids on gravel near cars != cool

Skids on clean bitumen away from cars == win

Tailgating on mountain runs != cool

Not having a UHF radio != cool

..etc

[MM2death]

Tailgating on mountain runs... someone please think of their front bar and interspooler

Flying stones = not cool.

Bring A Cb Radio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
