Some power chairs


Some power chairs are not up to doing challenges such as off road cycle tracks, my Alber could take on the route around Keider but I am not too sure if my DHSS, my work horse would. My DHSS could easily take on short & long distances with a smoother terrain
We could put challenges into categories, say A,B,C routes

The Concept of the Club

The Concept of the Power Chairs Challenge Club North East


Encourage PC users to get out and have some fun with other PC users.
We can organise on a regular bases outing along the many footpaths in the North East. A lot of them are near the metro or other local train net work.


We can hold rallies
We can hold race meeting
We can have week ends/week away sharing the cost of hiring accommodation
We could even hire the Across Jumbulance and have a holiday abroad


We could form a display formation team, like the Colour Squadron. No such team out there making us rather unique
We could promote safety issues in regards to using power chairs and scooters
We need to get more cycle/footpaths open to power and manual chairs. As a club we can help bring this about


We can hold social evening
We can…
Suggestions please
