After a tonne of planning, the big event is HERE! The Island Rock Crawlers extend a hearty welcome to all participants, sponsors, club members, volunteers and visitors. We hope to demonstrate this long weekend what four wheeling is all about: tough trails, tough trucks, good times, and responsible ‘wheeling. We’re sure that you’ll enjoy your stay in Sooke. This area has a lot to offer: friendly people, beautiful scenery, and of course, world class trails. Our club president, Rick Reimer has a special message: 
To help celebrate Earth Week, on Sunday April 17, IRC held its annual clean-up of Harbourview Road and the surrounding area. To all the people who participated, a BIG Thank-you! At least six abandoned vehicles were hauled out of the bush, along with over 500 cubic feet of other miscellaneous trash. The club wish to thank the following businesses and clubs that helped make this possible.

The Web Site Committee has been busy working on the new look for the IRC web pages. Due to the planning and preparations for Rock Crawl ’99, the new stuff won’t be ready until some time after the event. The site will feature a new style, layout, colour scheme and updated members’ pictures. We will also be showcasing some dazzling new technology (Flash - Shockwave). The committee consists of Rob Bryce, Rob McFadyen (Parts Bin), Dave Podmoroff (Flash design), Larry Soo (members’ pages), John Barron, Wyatt Sabourin (events) and Rob deLange.  If you have any new info about yourself or your truck to include, please send it to any of these committee members, or the club’s email address: irc@can4x4.com Help us keep the pages up-to-date! Welcome to our newest IRC members, Joe Poole, Lee Burbank, Shane Hofer and Ron White. Our club has recently given honourary membership to the following: Morrie Sacks—in recognition of his invaluable help at our Rock Crawl 1998. John Edgar—in recognition for the hard work he has put into promoting four-wheeling in BC, and the assistance he has offered to our club. We would also like to recognize Bow-Mel Chrysler in Duncan for joining us as our first Corporate Member.
