Every year we organise a Club Rally, the event moves around to different venues to give the maximum chance to members to attend their “local” event. It is a bespoke camping weekend (local B&Bs/hotels if you prefer) cocombined with a wide range of events, including: Greenlaning, Scenic road runs, BBQs, Beer tasting, trips on Heritage Railways, visiting local attractions and more. Suitable for all the family AND you can come in any type of vehicle, it doesn’t have to be in a Land Rover.

Situated within easy drive of
many famous Norfolk seaside's and
attractions, the Fakenham
Racecourse provides a perfect base for
a rally, our 3rd visit here.
Back for our third stay at the Fakenham Racecourse. The site never fails to satisfy everyone who stays there, good clean facilities and a perfect base to explore the delights Norfolk has to offer. Numerous events will take place, some ‘old favourites’ plus some new and exciting ones.
This year the Rally will be held at the Matlock Rugby Club Ground in Cromford, Derbyshire at the foot of the Peak District. Cromford lies in the Derewent Valley and is forever associated with Sir Richard Arkwright as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Arkwright built the world’s first water-powered cotton mills here in 1771 and pioneered the factory system. Cromford developed around the mills as a purpose built industrial community which is now recognised as a World Heritage Site.
The Rugby club has good facilities of a good camping site on flat ground with a large club house. Further details and programme are in Built 2 Last as is the booking form. You can book online via the club forum HERE.
What a well organised by the Bristol Area on a cracking campsite this Rally was. Some 64 units with 140 attendees enjoyed a warm, sunny weekend on the Somerset flats.
Plenty of local attractions including some epic extreeme green lane routes. Side mounted mirror attrition was high, but no one got seriously lost and breakdowns were few !
Saturday saw a lot of activities; reverse steer Land Rover contest, the line-up, BBQ, quiz and raffle for the air ambulance which raised just over £1000

We returned to Ripon Racecourse for our Rally postponed from last year, this being our 2nd Rally at this venue. After all the tribulations of the past year the Rally happened it was good to get out and meet old & new friends. This was one of our best with some 80 bookings. Despite the rough weather no one was put off and there was plenty of green laning and visits to local attractions. A big thank you from all the attendees to organisers Gordon & Wendy and all their helpers.

We camped in the grounds of this 17th House and Gardens. Another very successful rally with over 60 units booked in, with some French and Swiss enthusiasts. Rally goers visited many of the local attractions including Hardrian's Wall and the Vulcan bomber at the Solway Aviation Museum.
Some 33 members visited a Hill farm in Scotland, just over the border from Kirklinton and we spent a day going round (and round) a testing off-road course...
We also had a quiz, beer, club shop, folk music with dancing, more live music and a BBQ. Our raffle in aid of "Kate's Kitchen" raised £500 for this local good cause.

This year saw us in the picturesque Dorset village of Sixpenny Handley. At first the weather was poor with several downpours causing local flooding. But it cleared up later and we enjoyed scenic drives through the New Forest and out on Canbourne Chase.

Whilst not technically in the Lake District, this showground venue was a good base for trips into the Lakes. After some dispute it was decided that there are 16 lakes in the District.

2008 saw us return to Sibbertoft for the third time. This was the 2nd wettest rally and was held over a long weekend in August. Despite the weather this rally was well attended.

Kelmarsh was a green field site literally just down the lane from Sibbertoft. This was by far our wettest ever rally. It was so wet that the off-road course had to be closed on the first morning as conditions were just too dangerous - even for Land Rovers.

This rally was organised by the West Midlands area and is one of our best attended rallies with just over 90 camping units taking part. The rally is best remembered for the performance of "Grease" by the West Midlands players. The other feature of the rally was access to a 40 acre off-road site.

2005 saw the rally return to Sibbertoft as no area voluteered to organise the rally. We had a similar turnout to the first rally. In the line-up you can just make out the Club's Land Rover based trailer, back row on the right.
Not everyone had a tent!
LE16 9UJ
The first club rally was held at the Avalanche Adventure Centre, Sibbertoft, Leicestershire, LE16 9UJ. On the site there is an off-road course based in an old sand/gravel pit. As you can see vehicles got stuck the recovery provided great entertainment for the rally goers.
Some 66 camping units booked in and enjoyed a warm August sunny weekend of fun. Activities aside from the off-roading included BBQ, quizes, a driving gymkhana, & a treasure hunt. The idea being that each club area organises and runs an event. The cost for this rally was just £35 and we had 1 international attendee from Belgium, 2 from Wales and 1 from Scotland! It was envisaged that the rally would be hosted by a different area each year.
