The Yorkshire Off Road Club is primarily a Land Rover marque club offering a range of off road driving events, both competitive and non competitive. Although primarily a Land Rover club, drivers of lesser marque vehicles are always welcome at our events although a thick skin is required and we ask you to avoid looking smug when you show the Land Rovers up. Full details of the vehicles we allow to take part in our events are available on our eligibility page

As the name suggests the club's principal activity is off road driving. Where possible we will combine this with camping/caravaning and other social activities. Current events being planned include off road trials, orienteering and navigational events, off road driving days and "green lane" trips. For a brief description of the events that we hold go here

We hold a monthly club night (last Tuesday of each month) in the north Leeds area where members can plan events, propose events and exchange information and views whilst at the same time enjoying a pint or two in an informal atmosphere. Coffee and soft drinks are also available for those who can't persuade someone else to drive ! See the events page for details and directions of the next club night.

As a small club we have not seen a need for a monthly magazine as news of events and activities can be provided much more efficiently (and cheaper, keeping membership fees down !) via our website and forum. We encourage all members to attend as many of our events as they can and let us know if we are not providing the events they wish to attend.

Members are provided access to the hidden areas of this forum as well as the members area of our web site allowing discussion of any number of topics between members including technical advice, organising green lane trips etc...

If you are interested in joining our club, a membership application form can be downloaded or you can join online from here. Current subscription rates for new members is £25 per year (starting from the date you join), family members can be added to your membership for £1 each. The subscription for members renewing is £15.
