Nah, don't know what the cause is yet. I hope it doesn't!! If we finish fixing the car on sat we might go to the sandpit on sunday and I will try and replicate the problem somewhere nearish the carpark. Hopefully it doesn't happen at all, and if it does, we can figure out why! Personally I'd rather go for a nice good blat but oh well these things must be done.

There are no steep downhills, it is a really nice easy coarse designed for kids and ladies not expert adults! Do it you will love it I guarantee!!!

That's funny. Personally I can't see how he thinks he's old enough to be your Dad!!!

Evan the license is the MNZ licence which is a yearly licence from 1 July to 30 Jun. Heaps of events require one of these. I think its pretty much like an "insurance" for th club. Not sure what an adults license costs or even older kids but for Brooklyn he gets Mini Full (means he aint just restricted to the 1 club he's a member of) it costs $95 for the year.
For Dead Toad you can buy a day licence at $15. You are only allowed i think 4 of these in a year but you can cash 2 of them against a year license.

If you get the WMMC membership it just means at some their events you do you will get at a cheaper rate. Going by their flyer regardless of whether a member or not its still $35 entry fee per kid.

So yes once licenses are involved it gets more expensive.

Course all set to go- just over 11k and mostly new with a lot of stumps removed and whatis left has been dazzle sprayed for safety.
The course will also weave around the pits a fair bit as well.
Don't miss it it will be epic.....

**oldskool** · 10th August 2009, 08:29

We'll be there! My kids are all set and keen to do this. Poster is up on the fridge and they're talking about it at school, so them's good signs!

Looking forward to this one - see you ladies there!!!

Sadly... We've decided to give the Tadpole a miss... The girls are going on a week long skiing camp with their school on Sunday and don't want to risk injury the day before what is a VERY expensive trip......

That's a buggar about the girls not doing the Tadpole. You tell them from me to have an awesome time skiing! Geez they could have asked me to be an extra 'mum'. We would have had a great time down there!
