About The 4WDAA
4WDAA Activities and Events
toolboxCalendar
All 4WDAA and 4WDAA chapter activities and events must be registered on the official events calendar. This registration effects event insurance cover to ensure that event organisers and their volunteers are covered against claims from third parties if an incident happens during an event
The categories of events the 4WDAA and any 4WDAA chapters may promote include fundraisers for AMA Charity (4WD treks, adventure runs, etc), working bees (bush/ trail clean ups, etc), social events (BBQ's, gatherings, etc), 4WD pleasure drives/ recreation trips (group tours, runs, camp overs, etc) and 4WD competitive events (winch challenges, adventure challenges, etc).
toolsGuidelines
All events organised by the 4WDAA or a 4WDAA chapter are insured by the Australian Motorist Association (AMA), which means we must comply with the guidelines, best practice and operational standards as set by the AMA.
All AMA sanctioned events are required to comply with the General Events Guideline and is the basis for which all 4WDAA and 4WDAA chapter events operate. Under the AMA guidelines, the main activities of the 4WDAA or a 4WDAA chapter are identified as 'social gatherings', 'pleasure drives' and 'competitive events'.
4WDAA Member Chapters
A chapter is a place where members can make new friends with like-minded individuals who are passionate about 4WD's.
The purposes of a chapter shall be to:
- support the implementation of the objects and aims of the 4WDAA;
- promote events organised by the 4WDAA and 4WDAA chapters and encourage participation by fellow members in these events; and
- develop relations between fellow 4WD enthusiasts and associated 4WD dealers or retail stores.
