Due to the function room being booked we will be in the FRONT room of the Flower Potts for our February social – see you all there!
Mike has been hard at work and is aiming to do a video every month covering club events – here’s the first one of the year for you to enjoy!
Our 2025 Christmas Toy Convoy was a huge success for it’s debut! Thanks to the generosity of our members, supporters, local businesses and the wider community, we delivered £1,300+ worth of donated gifts to children and families across the region – all in true Shire style.
With 16 decorated trucks rolling through Southampton and a fantastic welcome at the Civic Steps, the event captured everything we love about this club: community, kindness, and a shared passion for doing good together.
The toys collected supported one of the largest appeals in the area, benefiting not just Southampton but also partner organisations including Women’s Refuges and youth services across Hampshire.
And we’re only just getting started.
In 2026, we’ll be back – bigger, brighter and even more festive – with more vehicles, more brilliance, and even more Christmas magic to share. Keep an eye on our socials for updates on how you can get involved next year.
Please feel free to check out the amazing work of the appeal, in this Daily Echo news article : www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/25798219.christmas-appeal-toy-donations-exceed-50-000-southampton/
Thanks to Mike for putting this together – here’s to even more adventures in 2026!
Most of you will know we run our events under the NORA licence system, which means extra paperwork at events – but if you sign up for a 2026 NORA licence you can skip the queues at ShireLRC events and knock money off your entry fee.
Their licences are renewed annually, the 2026 ones are available to order from Monday 3rd November so please go to the NORA website and get yourself a licence – it saves us paperwork and saves you form filling in a muddy field!
NORA Website – click “Licences” and then “2026 Membership“.
As we’re into the festive dining period (yes, already!) if you want to eat you will need to let us know in advance and choose your food from the menu:
Flower Potts Christmas Menu.
If you just want to come along for a pint & a chat there’s no need to book.
Club socials are free and open to everyone, whether you’re already a member or just want to find out a bit more about the club.
This December, the Shire Land Rover Club is proudly supporting Southampton City Council’s Christmas Toy Appeal with a festive convoy of Land Rovers – complete with twinkling lights, mince pies and maybe even Santa!

This is an exciting new event for us – at its core this is a relaxed weekend camping & social event for members, but we’re also throwing in some optional activities during Saturday to keep everyone entertained.
Located on a private camping site in Twyford we’re aiming for a chilled get-together with a few activities thrown in
The events calendar has just been updated and we’ve got a lot going on;
- Our new green lanes officer has wasted no time on putting dates in the diary, although exact routes always need to be confirmed nearer the time as weather & conditions allow. Check the events calendar for dates.
- We’ve got play days booked right through to 2026, including a long-awaited return to Slab Common in Bordon and our Free January 1st play day.
- Plans are afoot for an epic trip to Morocco in 2027, it’s a lot of planning and prep hence the long lead-time, check out the details here.
- The annual club BBQ social is approaching so grab the burgers and come along!
- We’re back on Youtube – Mike has been busy and made the first upload to our Youtube channel for quite some time, hopefully the first of many. If you have any photos or video you’d like to share please contact us!
