Welcome to Land Rover World

Each year we report on two big events in the calendar: the Association of Land Rover Clubs (ALRC) National Rally and the LRW magazine show. Unusually this year the two events were at the same venue – Eastnor Castle in Herefordshire – but, despite this, there was still a marked difference, namely the weather.
Over the spring bank holiday weekend, the members of the ALRC’s constituent clubs trooped hopefully into Eastnor’s deer park for a long weekend’s Land Rover motorsport, and as they did the rainclouds gathered to join them. Fast forward to a fortnight later, and a similar-sized and overlapping crowd rolled into the same deer park for the Eastnor Land Rover Show. That they were able to don shorts and t-shirts was all down to the capriciousness of the weather; though we members of the LRW editorial team had to take their word for it, being under canvas at both events.
 The ALRC National was hosted by the Midland Rover Owners Club, and its members soldiered on against the weather to make the event a success, whereas the show organisers had an altogether easier time of it. As our reports show, the events were so different they could have been in two different places.
 I was heartened to see that at both events there were still plenty of smiles and lots of laughter which is, after all, what Land Rover events are really all about.
