View Article  Defender wheel spacers
Considering putting wheel spacers on Defender when going away abroad to get better turning circle in mountain roads.
Apart from issue of increased pressure on wheel bearings has anyone any experience of use of these ? Any ideas of other possible concerns?
Trying to fit to 110 td5 for alloy wheels , anybody know good supplier and type should use?
Will wheel centre cap still fit?
Any ideas let me know thanks

Sibbertoft Trialling – June 17th-18th
This is one of the best offroading weekends to be had on our calendar.
Sibbertoft is situated in Northants. The site sits at the very end of an airfied (Gliding Club).
It is owned by Avalanche Adventures. Rather like Billing, the camping and course are close to each other.

A group of us went to Sibbertoft last year to try it out and everyone was so
impressed, the committee decided to make it an official ALRFC event!

Camping is available from Friday. Trials start on Saturday morning.
This is a skills test to see who has the best control of their vehicle over testing terrain.
It's all in good fun but there is a certificate for Best Male/ Best Female (and the worst!).

View Article  Muddyduck is a quacking success!
The muddyduck website opened at the beginning of March. Since then members have been flocking to it as the main point of contact for ALRFC.
This popularity coupled with members having expressed some confusion over ALRFC existing in two locations has caused the Committee to take a serious look at the overall web strategy.

The Committee decided, unanimously, that muddyduck.co.uk would incorporate the ALRFC public site. This will definitely be of help to those new prospects enquiring about joining an off road club. The public visitor would not have to leave the site to see how active (and interactive) this club is.
It would be immediately apparent them that THIS CLUB ROCKS!

New information areas about ALRFC will be posted and available to all. However, current security for accessing muddyduck content will remain.
