"Provision of predominately offpeak four wheel driving"

OUR CORE VALUES

Quality
Whatever we do will be done with planning, care and attention to detail so that members can enjoy the best outcomes possible.  This means that, initially, we may do a little less - but it will be done exceptionally well.

Excellence
Near enough is never good enough.  The Club is committed to achieving the very best outcomes for it's Members.  Excellence is doing the very best with what you have.

Integrity
Members who pay fees are entitled to open, accountable and diligent leadership.  Members want to be proud of their Club, which is built on mutual understanding and respect.  Relationship integrity is key for all of us.

Leadership
The success of the best organisations doesn't just happen, it is forged by strong, visionary and capable leaders who can "read the game" and adapt to meet new challenges.  Leadership training is also part of the OFFPEAK 4WD CLUB INC's commitment so that leadership responsibility can be sensibly and capably shared.  It's an "added value" for members to be trained by other qualified and experienced leaders.
