If you were looking for the Scottish Land Rover Club, click here,
The Suffolk Land Rover Owners Club was formed and exists to promote the ownership, enjoyment and experience to owners of Land Rover vehicles (Sorry, no other makes). It is a fact that many owners are not familiar with either the potential or the correct driving techniques of these vehicles. Only with proper training can confidence be gained and the full potential of these vehicles realised. The Club seeks
to train its Members by giving them experience in a very controlled environment.
In this way bad habits are not picked up and they can enjoy the off-road
capability that every Land Rover has. This takes the form of lectures,
demonstrations and accompanied practice on suitable sites. A competitive element
is added during Trials and fun days. Across the course of the year the club offers driving days, trials, team challenges and camp-overs at its own site, as well as social gatherings at The Crowfield Rose, Debenham Road, Crowfield (Grid Ref TM161585) and club outings to local shows and attractions. The club membership of approximately 350 covers the whole spectrum of Solihull products , from early Series Ones to the latest Freelander models, and everything in between – however ownership of a vehicle is not a prerequisite of joining the club, all you need is to be interested. Rover Rescue
is an important section of the Club, which is in close contact with the County
Council Emergency Planning Department. Vehicles, equipment and volunteers are
prepared to be called out to assist the County in times of need, such as extreme
weather or flooding. Regular training sessions are held, including first aid and
navigation skills. The Club has
been involved with conservation projects with the Suffolk Wildlife Trust. Winch
equipped Land Rover vehicles proved to be the perfect vehicles for working in
areas which were otherwise inaccessible for other volunteers.
