supplied to you after your team entry levy is paid in full.

2Just4Kids Children’s Charity Motor Trai
ratified. We will email registered entrants an itinerary with the finalised route and
overnight stops and lay day dates.
OFFICIAL POLO SHIRT
We have a polo shirt that we ask to be worn at all official functions en-route. Requests
for orders/sizes will be made shortly. Please do not leave ordering to the last minute.
TEAM EXPENSES such as fuel, accommodation and snacks/drinks, as well as any
vehicle expenses, are payable by the individual entrant.
WHAT IS THE TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATION USED FOR?
Donations make it possible for the Charity to support children in need from birth to
18yrs of age. We endeavour to visit schools wherever possible along the way to assist
with any special projects they may be working towards. Additional funds are
distributed throughout the year to assist children in need.
AUCTION ITEMS
Each team is requested to bring at least 2 quality items for auctioning at local functions
en route.
Please contact us for more information if required.
CAN MY ENTRY AND OTHER ASSOCIATED COSTS BE SPONSORED BY AN
ORGANISATION? Yes. You can obtain sponsorship for your entry, and costs
associated with it, if you wish. The majority of entrants do. The minimum donation
requirement of $500 is tax deductible. Details about Just4Kids and their charity status
and registration forms are available on our website. We gratefully accept additional
funds raised by you to assist children in need.
DO I NEED A FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE?
A 4x4 is preferable for all conditions, or a quality all-wheel drive. Any vehicle that is
towing should be at least an All-Wheel Drive vehicle. Trailers may require an off-road
suspension set up.
If you have any concerns, please check with our Motor Trail Director, Mark Louez,
well in advance of the event. He can supply you with information on the circuit and
expected road conditions. Phone Mark on 0429 090 199. Keep in mind that road
conditions may vary from the official survey date.
TEAM NAMES, THEME NIGHTS AND THEMED VEHICLES
A theme for your team entry is encouraged. If you have children travelling with you, it
is a great way for them to enjoy the trip.
We have themed days/nights along the route and a list will be sent to you prior to the
event. Keep it simple but get involved. Makes for a lot of fun.
We do require that you name your team, e.g. The Badgers. And we do need you to
provide a preferred number of your choosing. Please supply at least 2 numbers as
some will already be spoken for, e.g., 99 or 999. This number is your radio call sign
and will appear on your car door decals that we will provide prior to the event. Your
name and team name will be on your lanyards (issued by J4K) and must be worn at
all times especially at official functions.

NAVIGATION DIRECTIONS
A daily trip sheet will be handed out at the beginning of each day that guides you all
the way to the next turn, fun stop, lunch stop and overnight location. Your passenger
(navigator) will be responsible to guide you on your way and notify you of any change
of conditions/directions.
WILL THERE BE MOBILE PHONE COVERAGE IN THE TOWNS WE ARE
VISITING?
Some of the areas we travel through on this event will have Telstra/Optus coverage.
In-car and dash mounted navigation units will also work for the circuit. A list of all
overnight stops, with the address and phone number of the motels and camping
grounds will be available wherever possible. If you have to make or take an
emergency call, Just4Kids have satellite phones available.
IS THERE SUPPORT IF MY VEHICLE BREAKS DOWN?
We do offer assistance. If the issue cannot be fully resolved, we will ensure you get to
the next serviceable area for more comprehensive repairs.
It is advisable on any J4K motor trail event to upgrade your RACQ membership to
Ultimate for that year to ensure full service from them. RACQ does support most
areas as long as you are a member.
Driving to the conditions with lower speeds and good tyres with a vehicle that is not
overloaded, makes for a trouble-free holiday. Please read the J4K suggested and
compulsory items and general check list which will be sent to you after registration.
CAN JUST4KIDS ASSIST ME WITH FUNDRAISING?
Just4Kids has a variety of concepts to help you raise funds. One of the best
fundraisers is the Bunnings BBQ days. We can provide you with a J4K letter regarding
any fundraising you might like to do.

didey@just4kidsmotortrail.com.au for further info.
