Come and join the Florida Land Rover Club for our annual Spring Rally.  This is a great event for the whole family, even if you have never been off-road before.  We'll have trail rides, a GPS Hunt, and hopfully trials course! Of course our famous BBQ dinner Saturday evening. 

 We are currently working on the event schedule, which will include trail rides, a Saturday night GPS hunt held by GPS Master Richard Krenn, a trials event, then the Saturday night BBQ and club meeting and our famous raffle.   Please contact us if you can help with any event or lead a trail ride.  All events will begin at the Ocean Pond campground unless otherwise stated.

The event will be fun for all Land Rovers, from stock Range Rovers to modified Series trucks and everything in between.  There will be a beginners run on Saturday for any newbies.  Depending on the weather, Osceola can be a wet place (car wash anyone?), but we'll do our best to scout out some nice trails.  Make sure to always drive within your abilities, and never attempt to drive over or through an obstacle that you aren't comfortable with. 

Change in Rally Fees We have done the math, and found that is it time to charge a small Rally fee in order to allow the club to keep providing first class events. This Rally will cost the club over $4,000.00. This year, the t-shirts have cost us twice the normal amount due to their great design, base shirt and four color processing. All shirts, caps and stickers will cost $1,386.00. We are spending $1,150.00 on raffle items alone, and have received lots of sponsor raffle items, so we should have an awesome raffle. We will be charging a Rally fee of $15 per vehicle which will include one T-shirt, the Vehicle Participation Windshield Sticker (for the Forest Service to identify you under our permit) and the Rally sticker. Everyone will also receive their membership sticker. Only members can join us at the event, so membership dues will be accepted for those who have not yet sent theirs in. Members who volunteer to help run the event will have their Rally Fee waived if they provide at least three hours of time doing an assigned task. Jonathan Galpin, FLRC President 2004
