Events

With any training event that is a club arranged event we will attempt to arrange special pricing based on group discounts. Typically includes First Aid, GPS, track day etc. Any member discount or benefit will be included in the final price in this case. This type of training, however, is proving to be less than popular at this stage.

We therefore recommend approved training providers to club members to align with their own schedule and specific needs. These currently include:

Country Trax (All branches), Boulders, Morag Campbell, Thomas Bohm, ADA. Any other provider that a club member identifies based on location, credibility etc, will be considered by the committee and potentially added on approval. (Below links to websites)

When a member books his/her own training direct with any of the approved providers the club will sponsor up to 25% of the invoiced and paid cost capped at R1000 per member per event. This will obviously be budget dependant and will only continue while budget is available.

The refund process: Member sends proof of payment and copy of the successful completion certificate together with member banking detail to the secretary and the sponsored amount will be refunded within 14 days to the member.

High up in the Amathole Mountains lies the quaint and picturesque village of HOGSBACK. A mountain hamlet set against the backdrop of the 3 Hogs mountain range and surrounded by forests of trees, so tall, that they seem to be kissing the edges of the sky and so other worldly that it is rumoured that it is where JRR Tolkien got his inspiration to write the “Lord of the Rings“ trilogy.

Tucked away within the womb of this magical utopia, surrounded by a cluster of trees and just a Unicorn gallop away from the center of this village, the KING’S LODGE HOTEL rises in perfect harmony with its surroundings.
From here we move on to spend 3 full days (4 nights) in the Chintsa area at the breathtakingly beautiful Crawfords Beach Lodge. With its beautiful beaches, 2 swimming pools, beach bar, excellent massage therapists and food to have you coming back for more.
Here we will relax and enjoy ourselves with an optional out ride on one or two of the days for lunch.
