We just look big because we stand out from the rest due to past marketing from LandRover, the vehicle colours and their history. In membership numbers we are both very small.

A Landrover club show without CT OC and G4 OC is like Fish without chips I know the LRO are EXPECTING us to be at Peterbrough as we are in discussion with the Clubs Editor about doing some articles about the G4OC as a club and arena events to celebrate the 10th Anivversay of the 2003 G4 Challenge, if we are not there then the LRO are going to be left with lots of egg on face after publisicing our prescence in the magasines leading up to Septembers event.....

The CT Club of Austria, who were sending a sizeable contingent are also withdrawing their vehicles. We have asked if our space and passes could be distributed to other clubs, and G4OC specifically. We thought this would be a nice gesture in a mutually disappointing situation. We are encouraging our members to attend Eastnor (www.eastnorlandrovershow.com) in lieu and are moving our AGM. We do not know if this difficult decision will affect our invitation to attend Peterborough which is also organised by Live Promotions. Hope to see you at Eastnor - it would be nice to have a interclub get together, which we haven't done for a while. Cheers Chris Camel Trophy Club Events Coordinator events@cameltrophy.co.uk :: www.horse-back.co.uk :: www.cameltrophyvehicles.com :: www.unison-greatwestern.co.uk :: www.blippie.co.uk ::

On a positive, John Pearson (LRO Magazine) has been in touch with both us and Camel. We were going to do a weekend photo-shoot jointly for a big "Camel vs G4" event this year but timing did not allow us, so we are now planning to do the same next year early on. So hopefully this will make an impact on the show organisers. :) Regards, Emon Chairman 2008 - 2016 Current G4 - D3 LHD V8 BN55WRG Previous G4 - D3 from Belgian national selections, BG08VFK Previous G4 - 110, BT52OVG
