2019 esCarpade Day 0 - Welcome Dinner

Day 0 - time for the boys to head to the Welcome Dinner... as always, a selfie before heading out!


First up, the entrant briefing...


Entrants lining up... waiting to be briefed!


Damian's socks were looking the part...


Feeling welcome...


Blurry Ben giving his blurb...


The Event Summary... 50 entrant vehicles containing 185 entrants, driving approximately 2784km with 76% being on dirt....


And thanks for showing up!


Outside having a few drinks and canapes...


Damian with his old mate Giggle...


And with the Camp Quality puppets Deano and Kylie...


Quick pre-dinner selfie with Tony from Purple People Eater!


Cara giving the official welcome and blurb...


Kim the Camp Quality Chairman of the Board giving his blurb...


And special guests Rosie and her dad who gave a very poignant talk about the effects of childhood cancer...


After dinner, the boys both received service awards...  Damian for 10 years on esCarpade, and Angus for 5 years!


With the first day of driving coming up, the boys decided to head back to the motel and have an early night... 

Remember that there's still time to donate if you want to help the boys reach their fundraising goal!
