Posting this as a 'Special Event' gathering to commemorate the Anniversary of the Late James Smith, aka morex4, who sadly took his own life in January 2009.
For those that knew James and them that knew of him, will recall him being a very well respected member of many Pajero Forums and his 'style' of contribution in humour, technical knowledge & expertise was unsurpassed. Coupled with his willingness to always helpout anyone at anytime in any situation, made James a remarkable unforgettable character.
As his first memorial will be in January 2010, myself and one of his many closest friends wanted to remember him in a way that would have suited James, and sure would make him happy looking down on us now. Something that would involve his love for the Pajero, something that would involve his second 'love', mud. So we thought why not, James loved Devils Pit with a 'weird' passion, so what better place to organise a gathering somewhere we can show him that we remember him doing what he loved, and see others enjoying what the same too.
His sudden and unexpected death ran shockwaves through the numerous on-line communities he was a member of, and it was on sites like these, he earned his well deserved admiration, love and respect of fellow members. This 'event' will be open to everyone, not just those knew James (as James also took much pride in showing 'newbies (to him) how to do Devils Pit too), but to anyone with a 4x4 vehicle and is able to make it. Putting inter-club politics aside once again for this day, this will be open to any Club that wishes to hold/post the event on their site.
Devils Pit is opening their centre especially for this event, and is normally open 10-4. We are awaiting to hear from the site owners regarding the entry fee, which we have been assured will be nominal. Those that don't own a 4x4, can still come as a spectator. (we're sure there will be some spare seats if you wish!)
We are also looking into a local camp/touring site for those that may wish to come from further afield. More details will follow on this as and when they become available.
That's it pretty much. I will post any more information as and when it becomes available. Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask away. I have been there several times, it is a good site with lots of fun packed in! So come on on people, lets make an old friend proud and show him we can still have fun at the same time!
In the meantime, we would like to ask if anyone that would be interested in coming, do you have any of this available:
