| Doom and gloom failed. Our hardworking committee under the chairmanship of Mark Benzon put on an event that was as good as ever and we had 31 entries. This is almost a perfect number as it keeps the event rolling along smoothly. The standard modified cars made up most of the entries. We were very pleased to have six entries from Mutare. Bulawayo are not as active anymore but we hope they will still able to put on their own Jamboree in October. |
| Crowd attendance was as good as expected and the weather was beautiful, we even had a heavy early morning mist on Saturday, which kept some of the campers in bed a bit longer. |
| The courses were tough and we had two rollovers, Rodney Beckley in his well rounded Suzuki that has been over several times before and Peter Dobropoulos from Mutare, in his Series 1 Landie, who did a monumental nose over in the Barzem Xtreme. |
| We will have to get an earthmover in soon to dig up the very well worked courses. Anyone with contacts for the right equipment please speak up, the club will be glad to supply the Diesel. I seem to think the last time the Plant owner dug the courses as a driver training exercise and a road test after a major equipment overhaul. |
Our Jamboree helps to keep the Club going financially for most of the year. The rental of our area at Donnybrook and our keeper takes a lot of money so we have a lot to thank our sponsors for,
- Castrol (now HP Lubes) our major sponsor (what would we do without you)
- Securitas provided all the security guards for the week-end
- Barzem for the Xtreme
- Sawpower for the Seesaw
- Big Sky for the Mud Run.
