As I was the first events director for the SLO 4-Wheelers & did it for a few
years as a Gold Coast 4-Wheeler years before that, and am my own events
director, I thought I might pass these guide lines along to anyone interested:
Events Guidelines
The Events Director should:
- Prospective runs should be tracked by the Events Director up to 12 months in
advance.
- Trailboss should be selected 2 months or more before the run.
The Trailboss should :
- Have intimate knowledge of the proposed run area (been there & done that
recently).
- Have a 4-wheeler in good repair.
- Select a tail gunner to bring up the rear on the trail.
- Prepare a description of the run including;
- distance from Meeting point
- nature of run (exploration, camping, fishing, 4WD vehicle &
driving challenge, scenic tour, ect)
- Prepare info to be published in the SLO 4-Wheeler newsletter including
- Date of departure and return.
- Meeting place & time for departure.
- Any special vehicle equipment requirements for the run
- Proposed schedule of activities with times & places itemized
- Location of nearest gas
- Location of nearest medical facility
- Insure that every SLO 4-Wheeler is reminded by phone 1 week before the run
and establish a head count (name list) of those who plan to go.
- Conduct a drivers meeting immediately before the run including all drivers
- Discuss safety issues
- Discuss proposed route & schedule (simple maps are nice)
- Perform vehicle safety inspection
- Prepare a written report for the next general meeting & Newsletter
publication including-
