Why we exist and what we've been up to.


Trophy

The Somerset & Wiltshire Land Rover Club exists to promote, encourage, organise and participate in events and meetings with owners, drivers and enthusiasts of vehicles of the Land Rover marque. Events are organised under the regulations of the RAC Motor Sports Association and the Association of Land Rover Clubs of which the SWLRC Ltd is a member. A monthly newsletter is sent to all members. The club is incorporated as a Limited Company and members' liability is limited. We reserve the right to refuse membership


The Club has taken part in several Inter-Club events, as well as the usual National's and Baskerville Challenge. We also had 2 teams of 3 drivers (one allowed a special (i.e. CCV) and the other 2 with RTV's) compete in the 2 day charity trial at Newnham Park, Plymouth.

With the junior team (in age anyway) coming away as overall winners, they will be defending their title this year!
