Organised by the LROCV Series 1 register, it is open to all with a
genuine interest in Land Rovers, particularly the earlier models. So
if you've been waiting to meet some members of the list, swap that
elusive part, or show off your latest project, this is the time!

Please find all details in the attached doc. i will upload it tomorrow
My apologies for the delay in notification and lack of trip ad in the
Review. So if there is someone you know who may miss this email,
please pass on the word. Thanks.

A great opportunity to get those early vehicles out for a trip through
the Yarra Valley

Are there any oppertunities for a private gatherings in SEQLD? My SIIA is very close to registration but I also have an old farm hack series 1 which i would despiratly love to take out somewhere to get some use. I don't think places like Rover Park or LCMP allow unregistered vehicles?? please correct me as i hope i am wrong haha.

I'm definatly in for a Series I gathering in SEQLD. What do people want to do at this gathering? BBQ? Bit of driving? I (well mum and dad haha) have a small property, about 5 acres, on the cunningham highway at maryvale which as some would know is only a short drive to janowen hills 4wd park. Our block also has some challenging sections to it and a big shed and BBQ and toilet (haha it's a flash shed)... Is this what people want in SEQLD because i am more than happy to organise a weekend off work to make this happen??? It's about 1hr40mins from brissy (probs longer in series landy haha) plus unregistered vehicles can have a run on our block no problems.

Can't see the sense in joining the club purely to find out what they have organised

<snip> Do any of the clubs have affiliation ie LROCS and any of the other state LRO clubs? ...

Very valid points there. (Sorry for jumping back in the thread).

My membership of the LROCV came about because I had attended a number of LROCV "The Gatherings" and thought I should therefore be a member of the Club, even though this was not required. In fact it was only after being a member in the LROCV then attending my local Club's Paxina and Expo that I re-joined the Sydney LROC (after 25 year lapse).

We assume a reciprocal arrangement when members of visiting (non-local) clubs attend our events, as I am sure the other clubs would do. We definately have arrangements where we invite other Clubs to our events, as they do us. However whether that would be included in the one visit as a guest, or whether on the second attendance you would have to join is a question we will have to ask the insurance company. I hope they too would consider it under reciprocal arrangements.

No the LROC in Sydney does not have an attendance requirement, unless of course you have Historic Registration under the Club.

The LROC Sydney does have a rule that you can attend a trip as a guest, however to attend a second trip you must be a member, hopefully that should be enough to give someone an idea about the Club and make a decision to get involved or not.
