It was a rather disappointing turn out after the good show late last year. The steering committee had met previously and were preparing a recommendation that ORCA commence down the path of becoming an incorporated association. However, further information had just been received from the CCDA and whilst there were a good number of questions arising about the structure of CCDA and the current lack of provision in the rules for the competitions held in SE Qld, the indicated flexibility of CCDA to adapt and incorporate changes warranted further investigation of aligning with CCDA.

From memory, the steering committee are due to meet again tonight (24/2/04) to discuss the CCDA structure, constitution and rules in order to report back to interested parties at the next ORCA meeting on 10/3/04 (I think).

I planned on going, but club commitments forced me to be absent. It would be benficial to have one governing body, with membership required from the governing body, not state based, in order for people from interstate to compete in interstate comps, and be covered and admissable as a CCDA sanctioned driver.

well i have sent off a membership form for ccda...they are up and running and have rules already out and several events sanctioned.
i hope ORCA adopts the same rules as CCDA to simplyfy the mods onmy truck....dont really care all that much what the rules are as long as they are the same for all similar events

A global body, not constrained by political or territorial boundaries, with equitable representation from functional groups representing 4WD competition events and roles along with regional groups representing the peculiar issues of their locality
