Car Camp 2001
The following report was prepared by one of our Car Campers, Kat:
It's time again, time for some fun. A group or wonderful visiting teachers and their students were up at the Charlton Driving Course for 2 days. We all met at Woodend at the Piccadilly Café, before continuing on to Charlton. We didn't check into the motel right away, first having lunch, either that we had brought, or at the Milk Bar. From there we went to the driving course, where we met our instructors, then we chose our cars.
Our group of drivers and instructors stand between two of the cars.
Although there were the 'typical women drivers' (myself included) that just had to see how fast the cars could go, everything went smoothly and safely. Both days we drove Toyota Corollas, which were blue, white and green. Even though it was a tight squeeze with four student to each car, we all had fun. As always, in a manual car, we stalled time after time, but actually made it around the course quite well.

As always, we surprised the instructors and teachers, by doing quite unexpected thins during the breaks, as well as in the car, with our immaculate control of the cars. On the second day, we took up the challenge of the obstacle course, winding in and out through the cones, reversing around the figure 8, and hoping that we would be the team to win, During the evening we played a few games, Uno and Trivia, coming up with very interesting answers to the trivia section. Also we were lucky enough to be celebrating two birthdays, Ryan Styles and our instructor, Bernadette.
As always, it was a wonderful experience for all involved, thanks to the staff at the Charlton Motel, our very brave instructors and the wonderful Visiting Teachers. Thank you all for making everything possible!
Cathy, Jenny (Visiting Teacher), Mitch and Rosie - what a happy bunch of drivers!
