A Little History...
The
North Wales Land Rover Club (NWLRC) began its life in the Spring of
1986, when a handful of Land Rover enthusiasts – David
Mitchell,
John Nuttall with Mike and Pauline Morris – arranged a meeting at the
Sportsman’s pub on Denbigh Moor. They invited several
like-minded
people and from those attending a committee was
formed.
Since then
the club has gone from strength to strength
and today has a membership of around 200 who between them own
just
about every model that Land Rover has ever produced. Members
live
in all parts of North Wales from the Eastern Marches, across
the
Vale of Clwyd to Snowdonia, the coast and Anglesey. In fact,
the
club even has members living as far afield as Scotland and
Germany.
From the
outset the club has been keen to provide its
members with activities that will enable them to get the most enjoyment
from their Landys. Each year there are RTV and CCV trial
championships, greenlaning, caravan and camping weekends and
other social events. There are also monthly pub meetings and a
bi-monthly magazine ‘Dragon’s Drivel’.
The club has always been a strong supporter of Land Rover events across
the
country;
members regularly compete in the Land Rover Nationals and Majors trials
as well as entering a team every year for the War of the
Roses.
In
1997 NWLRC hosted the Nationals event and by common consent amongst
the NWLRC committee it was the best ever! More recently in
2007 NWLRC took
an undertaking to become ‘climate neutral’ in order to negate the
potentially
damaging effects of CO2 produced by the club’s activities.
North
Wales offers Land Rover owners all that they could possibly wish for:
greenlanes, excellent trial sites and for those with shiny Landys some
fantastic tarmac drives amidst stunning scenery.The club
welcomes all Land Rover enthusiasts and owners, with whatever
model,
from the original
80” of 1948 to the latest Range Rover Sport & Freelander. The
competitions are run under the ALRC rules so if you wish to enter a
competition the vehicle should be either standard, virtually as it left
the factory, or if modified, use predominantly Land Rover parts, sorry
no Japanese engines!
