Aims & Principles of the Association of Land Rover Clubs (ALRC)
The Association of Land Rover Clubs is a single marque club whose operation is dedicated
to products of Land Rover Ltd and its predecessors and operates with its consent. The
Association caters for owners and users of all Land Rover vehicles.
Membership
Any Land Rover club conforming to the rules and conditions governing the Association’s
members is eligible to be a member of the Association, i.e. a genuine Land Rover only club
agreeing to abide by the rules and conditions on the way the club will act and control its
members. (See the chapter on Joining the Association of Land Rover Clubs). Individuals of
member clubs are ipso facto members of the Association. Anyone seeking club membership
should first contact their local club. (See the chapter listing member clubs).
The Association is a full member of LARA, the Motoring Organisations’ Land Access and
Recreation Association and is represented on its steering committee. Such membership
includes policy making and enables the interests of all its members to be represented.
The Association is represented on the MSA Cross-Country (previously Off-Road)
Committee, the specialist committee representing off-road motor sport which advises the
Motor Sports Council who make the rules for all British motor sport disciplines which are
applied by the MSA.
The Association is listed in the Motor Vehicles (off road events) Regulations 1995 as an
authorising body.
The Association fosters support for Regional Motor Sport Meetings.
Rights of Way
The Association has a policy of conservation going hand in hand with user rights. The
Association fully supports all efforts to keep the network of unsurfaced ‘Green Roads’
throughout England and Wales open to all users. Members are encouraged to participate in
locallaccess forums established under the CROW Act 2000 to advise local authorities on the
improvement of access to the countryside. The Association has adopted and enforces the
LARA code of conduct for ‘green road’ use by our members. The Association wishes to
extend friendly links with all countryside users, whether they be ramblers, horse riders, other
vehicle users or land owners.
Motor Sport
The Association is a member of the Royal Automobile Club Motor Sports Association (MSA)
and is a club able to hold events in its own name. We insist that all motor sport competitions
are run to the exacting standards of both the MSA and our own ALRC regulations. ALRC
vehicle and event regulations ensure fairness in competition, the highest levels of safety and
that the sport remains an amateur one. Neither the Association nor any member Land Rover
club awards cash or valuable prizes and as a result, whilst competition is fierce, it remains
friendly and it is not unusual to see rivals on the field helping each other with repairs.
Additional Membership Benefits
There are many benefits for a member Land Rover club and these include the knowledge that
Land Rover Ltd. grant us official recognition and authorise us to use their trade names and
logos for non-commercial purposes. The unauthorised use of the trade name ‘Land Rover’
in a non-member club’s title can be construed as a breach of copyright.
The vehicle regulations allow some events to be entered without the need for vehicle
modifications to suit the requirements of individual clubs.
The Association’s individual membership policy means that the clubs, if they have
applied for event insurance and MSA permit under the ALRC title, can have members of
ALRC clubs other than their own competing at events hosted by them. Land Rover main
dealer parts outlets look favourably on approaches by member clubs for their members to
receive trade discounts.
Clubs are encouraged to exchange newsletters to transfer information, ideas and event
details.
One of the least perceived benefits is the use of ALRC meetings as a forum to exchange
ideas, news and information. Clubs learn a great deal from each other to the mutual benefit
of all members.
