Cape trip members your thoughts on this!!!
« on: December 22, 2011, 07:14:14 PM »
Last trip some members used their own personal items to assist all of us to enjoy a great trip and added an extra cost to theses members.

These included snatch straps, fuel etc

So I propose a good will fund that is put aside to repay members who use their own personal items that assist us in crossings and getting us through some of the toughest tracks on the trip.

This will only cost $20 per vehicle and paid at our first nights stop at the lions den. These funds are put aside just in case we need to replace items that are wrecked and to cover fuel for generators that are used to share power.

At the end of the trip any monies left over will be evenly distributed back to members.

Interesting thought, I know we killed a snatch strap pulling everyone through Nolans so I would say it is a good idea.

A kitty!!!
No worries here. A very practical way to handle it.
Do you reckon $20 is enough? Maybe have an understanding that kitty will be topped-up if needed.......

Mark, Although I cant make it to the trip I reckon that is a great idea. I've just had a strap destroyed by someone else and then been left with the replacement bill. ??? ???
