OK I’m not sure if Christmassyiest is a word but congrats to Noel for winning the competition at our Mannington play-day with his nicely decorated 90!
Congrats to Piers and Chris who came in 2nd and 3rd respectively.
Thanks to everyone who attended, and thanks to everyone who put change in pot for Hampshire & Isle Of Wight Air Ambulance. We hope to see you all next time – the next Mannington is the 25th of February, our next play-day is 28th of January at Bunny Lane.
We are pleased to announce the dates for Seven Sisters and Summer sisters 2018:
Online bookings for Summer Sisters 2018 will open soon – an ideal Christmas pressie!
To address some of the rumours we’ve heard on Facebook etc. there will be no changes to our rules or the types of vehicles (or tyres) permitted at these events. Other types of event on the site may be different but those changes do not affect us!
Thanks to RR Parts Ltd, we are having a FREE play day at Mannington on the 12th February!
Some exciting news is that RR Parts are providing a selection of raffle prizes including a Bearmach service kit, Bearmach wrap-around diff guard, and a T-Max hi-lift jack. We are also putting some club merchandise into the raffle so you could win some lovely ShireLRC gear, or if you’re unlucky you might win a club keyring!
The T-Max hi-lift jack will go to one randomly selected member on the day – you’ve just got to be there and signed in to be in with a chance!
We can also confirm there will be a burger van on-site for food and drinks.
Proceeds from the raffle will go to the Hampshire & Isle Of Wight Air Ambulance.
If you are not already a member, you can join up online right here, right now or you can join up on the day for £15.
Click here for full info & directions – see you there!
We are delighted to announce our Seven Sisters 2017 Dates are confirmed – put these in your shiny new 2017 Calendar:
Full information on our Seven Sisters pages – online booking will open nearer the time.
See you all there!
A huge thanks to all who turned out for our end of year “Cold turkey” play day at Mannington. We had a great turnout, and a grand time was had by almost everyone – we’re not sure if the guys stuck in the ice-cold pond were having fun or not, but it looks like they were providing entertainment for those stood on dry land!
Here’s just a couple of the many photos from the day which are already up on our Facebook group:
So with 2017 just a few days away, here’s a couple of dates for your shiny new calendar:
The January Club Social is Thursday 5th January.
The next event is a green lane day on 22nd January – please get in touch with Dan Thain either via our Facebook group or the contact form to book a place.
It’s that time of year, and our membership secretary is incredibly busy (some lame excuse about rennovating a house) so if you are waiting for a membership application or renewal to be processed please be patient – it WILL get done!
If you’re planning on attending our post-Christmas play-day and your membership card has expired or you haven’t had one yet, please just contact us ASAP and we can make sure your name is on our list.
We’re club of the month in the January 2017 issue of LRM Magazine, here’s a sneak peek:
Thanks to Kimberley and Gary Clark for writing the article and David Lang and Teresa Brown for the photos!
Shire member Daan Schreuders also gets his own feature with his excellent Series 3 Hybrid in the December issue of LRO magazine.
We have recently been approached by the organisers of “Tracks Across the Field” which is a Vintage tractor working weekend in Froxfield, Petersfield on the 20th & 21st August.
The weekend displays and exhibits approximately 100-120 tractors over the weekend.
They also have a large field with horse ploughing, horticultural machines, beer tent and trade stands and much more for the whole family to enjoy.
Shire Land Rover Club will be on display all weekend and members are welcome to join us, either during the day, or for the camping as well.
Non-members are welcome to come along, join or re-join the club, and get stuck in! This will also give you another opportunity to purchase your club merchandise and stickers!
The event is located in Froxfield, Hampshire, just opposite the Trooper Inn Pub (GU32 1BD)
If you are interested in coming along to join in the club display please contact us.
Shire Land Rover Club organised a convoy of members to take part in “Simply Land Rover Show” at Beaulieu Motor Museum.
The event was very successful for the club, we recruited several new members and spread the word about our fantastic club, plus it was brilliant day in the sunshine!
Roll on next weekend for the “Tracks Across the Field” show!
The Shire Land Rover Club supports the Hampshire & Isle Of Wight Air Ambulance as our “nominated” charity, but there are also individual members raising money for charity, we’d love you to show your support for them:
First off, our long-standing club treasurer Henry has had his amazing beard for 40 years, but is offering to shave it off if we can raise £1000 to be shared equally between the Royal British Legion and The West of England School for Blind Children (WESC).
Have a look at his daughter’s campaign for a clean-shaven Henry here:

Secondly, Shire LRC member Daan and some friends have decided to enter the Croatia Trophy 2016, running from 27th of April until May 5th. They are raising money for Cancer Research UK. They have chosen this charity because Mark, Daan’s co driver, lost his mother at the age of 17 to cancer, and exactly 1 year ago, Daan’s uncle Herman passed away having lost the battle with it. We can all think of examples in our family, friends colleagues etc.
Their just giving page is here – please show your support:
