Empire Rover Owners Society

• Address:
• Telephone:
• Email:
• Fees: None
• Newsletter: After a meticulous survey was conducted, EROS came to the conclusion that the best club publication in the Empire is the monthly Ottawa Valley Land Rovers newletter. Eschewing liability, deadlines and printing costs, EROS has thus proclaimed that the OVLR newsletter is the official newletter of the Empire Rover Owners Society.
  • Name: Ottawa Valley Land Rovers
  • Frequency: monthly
  • Avg size: 12-16 pages
  • Format: 11x17 folded.
• web: http://www.Land-Rover.Team.Net/Empire/ (link is currently dead)
• Regular meetings: At rallies
• Incorporated: No
• Coverage: Everywhere (New York State actually, but were Imperialist, so we may be closer than you think, infiltrating other clubs)
• Size: Larger than you think
• Profile: That would be telling. See Notes
• Established: 1996
• Last Contact: January 1998
• Notes: How exclusive is the Empire Rover Owners Society ? We're not. In fact, membership in some form of local Land Rover owner club is nearly mandatory (the Empire needs to build its network of spies, old boy). EROS highly recommends joining a local club. If you don't have one, look under clubs here. Not to influence you, but given the official newsletter is from OVLR, you should join OVLR, but it should be recorded that a number of highly placed EROS members belong to one or more of the follo wing clubs: OVLR, (Ottawa, Canada), ROAV (Virginia, USA), and Pennine (Yorkshire, UK)
