Christmas Toy Convoy – A Huge Success!

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/ 

Get a 2026 NORA licence, save time & money at events

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“.
