The Range Rover Club of Australia, NSW Branch is primarily a recreational four-wheel-drive club  and as such it is a member of the Recreational Four Wheel Drive Club’s Association of NSW, which advises on matters of policy regarding land access and environmental issues.
The purpose of the Club is to unite people whose common interest is the Range Rover or Discovery, and membership is open only to owners or principle drivers of these vehicles.
Driver Training
The Club Driver Training Programme is a cornerstone of the member benefits provided by the Club. Currently four courses are offered ranging from novice to experienced operator standards. All our Driver Trainers are qualified Workplace Trainers and highly experienced four wheel drivers. Our courses are specifically tailored to Range Rover and Discovery vehicles. Our Training Programme will allow drivers to become aware of their vehicle’s capabilities, as well as their own in a safety focused environment. Then it is up to you to experience the lifestyle benefits of owning and driving a capable four wheel drive vehicle.
The Club meets on the third Wednesday of each month at various venues around Sydney. A quality monthly magazine, ‘Marque’, featuring news of past and future trips and other items of general interest, is mailed to all members.
Our History
The Range Rover Club of Australia (NSW) Ltd was formed in April 1978 and has since grown rapidly. It is now incorporated as a company limited by guarantee.
The club was formed to bring Range Rover owners together, not only because the founders enjoyed recreational 4WD in the Australian bush, but they also saw the Range Rover as a very special and unique ‘marque’ in the world of motor vehicles. Since 1991 membership has been opened to the Land Rover Discovery.
Community involvment
Our Club welcomes the opportunity to get involved with the wider community on specific projects. Some of our community activities include:
· Participation in ‘Clean Up Australia Day’, assisting with the retrieval of old car bodies, tyres etc., dumped in terrain difficult to access by conventional vehicle-
· Support to the Royal Flying Doctor Service. The RFDS is a lifeline for outback residents and travellers-
· Support to Care Flight based at Westmead Children’s Hospital
· Camping weekends away with disadvantaged children
· Restoration work on tracks in National Parks.
· Stockton Beach Clean Up program
· Assisting with the restoration of the Snowy Mountains Huts
Committee
The Range Rover Club of Australia, NSW Branch is managed by a committee consisting of President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer, with additional officers editing the club magazine, organising driver training and education, purchasing equipment for sale to members, social functions for members and their children, membership, club library, publicity, and 4WD Association representative. Election of Office Bearers is carried out at the Annual General Meeting held in September each year. All club members may nominate for committee positions.
Who can join?
The Range Rover Club is basically a ‘one make’ Club as this facilitates more predictable and safer touring. All vehicles on our trips are equally capable (the Range Rover and the Land Rover Discovery have virtually identical mechanical specifications). Our club members live all over Australia and cover all age groups.
What we do
Trips are orientated toward family involvement. In a typical year the Club may offer as many as 30 or more activities to members varying from day trips, weekend overnights and longer, to dinners and social activities. All club trips are on existing tracks, never ‘off-road’, and often end up in national parks.
