PENNINE'S 50 THIS YEAR!!!
The Pennine Land Rover Club celebrates it’s 50th
year in 2012.
To mark this we are running a two day event at Catlow Fold
near Nelson in Lancashire from 15th to 17th
June 2012 . This will include camping for the whole
weekend, which will be free, starting on, Friday 15th from
4.00pm onwards, and full toilet and shower facilities will
be available throughout.
There will be double tag team trial on the Saturday (with
prizes!) and a full day of RTV and CCV trials on the
Sunday, with a Barn Dance (In a Barn!) including a live
band, called Sully's Hero's, on the Saturday
evening, with a Hog Roast (Free to members and
competitors). Bring your own alcoholic
weapons of choice. (Click
to see Band Poster). Please bring cans rather
than bottles as this is in a barn at an equestrian centre
and we need to be sure that no animals will be injured by
cut glass following our ceberations.
All members of associated ARC and MSA clubs are welcome to
attend and compete. It is recommended that those planning
to attend, either to camp or compete (or both) ring and
pre-book their place to avoid disappointment on the day as
we turn out thirty plus motors on an ordinary event day
without anyone else showing up an turnout will be high.
Anyone willing to marshall at this event will be
gratefully received and there will be a prize draw for
attending marshalls to win T-shirts and caps etc
Bookings can be made by email to

Our next event is
Robin Hood's Bay on 2nd -5th June 2012.
|
|
Well, it's pirates bay time again. Back to the windswept
cliffs of the east coast to be battered by the North Sea
and it's hurricane winds. There's an extra day this year
too 'cos queenie's managed to hang on to her job longer
than half of us manage to live for. Prep your motor for
endurance driving and pray to anyone that'll listen for
decent weather! |

Please be advised that, due to
Catlow in June being part of the 50th celebrations, with
substantial interest expected from other clubs, it will
not now form part of the Pennine championship calendar in
2012. It will be replaced in the championship timetable by
Robin Hood's Bay at the August Bank Holiday instead, for
this year only. This is to
stop the performance of non-members at the 50th
artificially skewing the championship scores |
|
As a matter of Health and Safety,
the club is clamping down on improperly wired up automatic
gearboxes. Such gearboxes must only be able to be started
in either Park or Neutral and their activation must not
incorporate the use of external switching. Anyone
presenting with such a vehicle after Rockingstones will
not be allowed to compete! |
|
In you won a trophy in 2010, please return it for
engraving (even if you've won it again in 2011!) |
|
If you're still new to the sport,
you are probably missing a spill kit. According to RAC MSA
regs, all competing vehicles are obliged to carry a spill
kit for cleaning up fuel and oil spills on the land. We
will be checking that everyone has one a an event soon so
please ensure that you obtain one if you're without. You
can get them cheaply on Ebay (£5-£10) |
|
Anyone recognise this old
Pennine '80 Comp Safari motor. I've got a chap who's bought it and
is going to do it up to trial and is hoping someone's
might have some old pics of it in action.
If anyone can help with
pics or history, let me know at
penninelandrover@aol.com
and i'll forward it on or put you in contact.

Does anyone recognise this motor? It was bought from
one of our illustrious band of brothers over ten years ago
by a chap called Mark Strangways. Has anyone got any old
snaps of it from it's Pennine days that they could let him
have a copy of (he's happy to pay for copying)

Now that the
weather is getting better (Jinxed!!). Ein pet peev for
June
is
CHASSIS INTEGRITY
(Der Mainenrailen Rustencolinder).
If you chassis is more full of holes than a politician's
manifesto, then break out that stick welder and start
gluing lumps of steel to it, Schnell!!.
I vill be under
si motor like der ratten up der drainenpipen und any
unofficial "Ventilation / Drainage Holes" vill
be taken ein extremely dim view of . Nicht
Prisoners!! |

You are
welcome to come and join us at any of our events and if it
doesn't scare the pants off you we can probably find you a half
decent motor to buy so you can have a go yourself. We like fresh
blood (so to speak!!), it keeps us on top of our game and stops
us getting complacent and lazy!.

We are a friendly, but more
than slightly nuts, group of off-roader's, who like nothing
better than to take our motors and get them very
dirty and brutalised at trials events no matter what the
weather.
We battle wind, rain, snow and (very) occasionally sun,
all with
a view to seeing just how far we really can push the boundaries of performance without
killing ourselves or each other (preferably!!).
We do
this at least once a month,
usually on the second Sunday in the month except for
bank holidays, which, twice a year
are a three day event and which are held at Robin Hood's
Bay.
Our events are
RTV and CCV trials, run under the MSA rules and we welcome members from
other MSA and ARC clubs
who wish to come and drive
at our trials.
We also indulge in a random variety of club nights over
the year based on demand / whim
/ fancy a beer, usually involving copious alcohol and
people generally having a good old
laugh, often at each others expense.
