October 2006: Announcing Outreach Motorcycle Training
Over the years, there has been a considerable increase in the number of organisations using motorcycles and quad bikes (ATVs) for outreach work. It makes sense; they give better access to rural communities, and in contrast with 4wd vehicles, cost less and are cheaper to run.
May 2006: Rhino Stampede Well Received
This year's Rhino Stampede took place on 6th May, 2006, and was well supported by the Kampala community. It was a wet day which made parts of the event a little more difficult than last year.
February 2006: Announcing A Train-the-Trainer Programme
It's been a busy start to the new year and we have a number of new projects online. Specifically, over the last few months, we have been designing the OCCL Train-the-Trainer programme for our 3 day Professional Driving course and 4wd modules. It is competency based, and therefore, participants must be able to demonstrate proficient driving and training /presentation skills, at the start.

August 2005 - 4wd RSS Feed Now Available
I am enclosing our latest training schedule which includes Uganda and Kenya dates. Our nine-day training camp, which ran last month, was very well received. As demand was high and we had a waiting list, OCCL has opened a second camp for 2005 to meet demand. It is slated for December 5 - 13th.
April 2005 - Recovery Equipment: Consider The High Lift Jack
Just a short post-Easter newsletter to let you know our web site has been updated with new driving articles. We have put a new tyre poll on our site and are interested to hear what type of tyre you fit on your vehicles.
January 2005 - Buying a Used Japanese 4wd
Buying a second hand vehicle (in Uganda) can be a bit of a gamble at the best of times, but throw in vagaries of this environment and you could have better luck taking the money to the Kampala Casino -- and that's saying something!
