'On Roaders' Welcome or Not?!?!?!?

Thrasher:
Re-Discovery,

You will find the sort of people you speak of have no interest in this sort of forum. If they pick up technical advice here, so be it - why not - that is one of the reasons the club came into being.

I, for one, was sick of the "secret society" behaviour in clubs I had joined (and paid to join!) - this, the forum you are chatting in now, was a direct result.

Here is what this club is about....

All about Mud-Club

The first question people ask is 'what is the mud club ?', well, the second question. The first question is usually, 'you came here in that?' .. but enough of our own vehicular shortcomings

In answer to the former of these questions, this is the mud-club. Nothing more, and indeed nothing less than a collective of individuals with an interest in off road driving, off road vehicles, socialising and being friendly. Unlike many other clubs it has no committee, no rules, no regulations. The goal of the club is for all members to take as active a role as they wish to take.

The club was founded by a small group of individuals who simply wished to return to the 'fun' nature of a club. Thus, the onus of the mud-club since its very inception is to live up to it's motto. 'Fun, Friendly and Free'. To deal with each of these in turn....

Fun:
The mud-club is specifically tailored to suit your needs, with no pre-defined rules regarding the nature of events, competition, conversation or little else. If you wish to join an event feel free to turn up, if you can't find an event that you want to enter, feel free to create your own. Club members will provide whatever support they can, advice, assistance and a banner for you to march under. The mud-club is a community, if you wish to take an active part then take one, if you prefer to lurk around and look at the pretty pictures then do that, it is entirely up to you. It is not the clubs job, duty, or place to tell you how you should enjoy yourself. That is left to your significant other, or bank manager as appropriate.

Friendly:
Mud-Club members have varying degrees of talent when it comes to driving off road. However to them the challenge and the pleasure that comes from challenging themselves, chatting to friends, and taking the mickey out of each other. The club is not overly competitive, nor is it overly serious. Light hearted humour (and the odd toilet joke) is by far and away the order of the day.

Free:
The mud-club does not, and will not charge for membership, nor will we charge for entry onto our message boards, access to our pictures, parts catalogues, etc. So how does the club expect to pay for all this? It's that community thing again. The mud-club makes a few pence (honestly it is as low as that at times) from stickers, t-shirts etc. and this money is channeled back into covering costs at events, and the running costs of the club. Everything else is donated by members. Events are organised in a similar way. We all give at times, and take at others.

The Mud-Club is like an off road co-op, but with less milk.

So there you have it, a community run by its members, for its members.

Please join in... you know you want to.

As previously mentioned, if a member joins who has worked in a Land Rover  garage for years and years but never off-roaded, then they could be a very valuable member to have!!

Cheers,
Nat

Re-discovery: in a phrase used by the locals to me...

LandRoger:
Like a CO-OP but with less milk !!Love it -bit like my Paj goes like a milk float :wink:
Anyway if your into 4x4s come on in  :lol:  :lol:

smog:
I post here and I own at this point 2 hybrids and an S3 air portable lwt, NON of which are running or road legal I also own a new Zafira which obviously will never be taken off-road (not through my choice either).

My point is nobody on this site knows I actually owns these vehicles and I could say I owned a S1 or a 101 or whatever does it really matter whether people own a 4x4 and go off-road or not.

I have been ill for a year and not been off-road does that mean that my opinion is less valid because of my lack of driving for a year?  

We all need to start somewhere and if nothing else people without a 4x4 can read about the great things we do such as lane clearance and such and of course getting covered in mud.

People might even start to hear that we are not all to be stereotyped as we so often are in the press and hey who knows someone might even go out and buy a 4x4 just because they talked about them here.

It takes all sorts to create an online community I should know I own a number of adult websites and it has taken years to build some of them up.

We judge people to often in life why not leave things be and let everyone add their say including the bobble hat nice people that troll these types of boards.

K finished now hat coat where is the door again ?
