Staffs and Shrops Land Rover Club

About Staffs & Shrops LRC

HISTORY:

The club which is known by many as "Staffs & Shrops" or "S&S", was formed in 1964 by Geoff Miller and Jack Bellfield to cater for people interested in Rover vehicles, in particular Land Rovers. We held our first trials event the following year at Ford near Shrewsbury and nearly forty years later we still hold an event there.

The Club is a member of the "Association of Land Rover Clubs" (ALRC) which is an association of Land Rover Clubs both Nationally and Internationally. The club is also a member of the "Motor Sports Association" (MSA).

COMPETITIONS:

The motorsports side of our activities provides lots of fun for competitors and spectators alike. Events take the form of:- TYRO (Try Your Rover Offroad), RTV (Road Tax Vehicle Trial) CCV (Cross Country Vehicle Trial), and Competitive Safari races.

All the rules for the above classes of events are to be found in both the ALRC "Green" book and the MSA "Blue" book. The clubs MSA Scrutineer is available to give help and information about vehicle standards and we have a MSA Log Book Scrutineer available to tag your vehicle ready for competition with the ALRC.

To compete or drive in any event organised by the club, apart from TYRO which can be driven from the age of 13 years, you will need to have a full British driving licence. Rules prohibit provisional drivers from either driving in the competition area or on the caravan rally field.

With the non competitive member in mind we hold caravanning/camping weekend rallies at many of our competitive events.

GREENLANING:

Greenlaning is arranged between small groups of members. The club encourages this activity, but all are asked to respect the Countryside Code and the wishes of land owners.
