Land Rover FAQ - Clubs - International

INTERNATIONAL LAND ROVER CLUBS

The following list includes clubs that do not cater exclusively to Land Rovers. A number of Rover car clubs exist that fill the roll of a single vehicle club, such as Land Rovers. Information contained within this list is accurate to the last contact date for each entry. If information has changed, please contact one of the website maintainers at the bottom of the page.

INTERNET

While strictly not a club, there exist two mailing-lists on the InterNet for worldwide Land Rover enthusiasts to exchange information, answer questions, and help fellow owners, or those who desire to obtain a Land Rover. The lists are maintained by Bill Caloccia who keeps a web page with information about the lists.

To subscribe to one of the mailing-lists send a message

to: majordomo@land-rover.team.net
with the text: subscribe lro-digest (for mostly Series Rovers) with the text: subscribe rro-digest (for coil sprung Rovers)

To unsubscribe from either mailing-list send a message

Birmabright Brotherhood

While strictly not a club, there exists a list on the InterNet for worldwide Land Rover enthusiasts to help fellow owners. The list is maintained by Trevor Easton, teaston@dqc2.dofasco.ca .

The Burmabright Brotherhood (BB) is a listing of fellow Land Rover owners who have offered assistance to those owners waylayed by the Rover Gods of Misfortune... translation, stranded far from home because their beloved lump of Burmabright is not feeling co-operative.

In order for this list to function more efficiently, A few rules of etiquette are proposed to be used when asking for assistance from a fellow BB member. This will hopefully help to reduce the instances of people getting "taken".

This list is for the use of the list members only. In order to ask for help from someone on the list, you must be on the list as well. Naturally, if you are traveling with or come across someone in need of help who is not on the list, you may go to the list for help. You must remember, however, that as the recommending' list member, you are partially responsible for the actions of that person.
This list is not for commercial purposes. This doesn't mean that you can't put your business on the list, though. It means that the list is not to be used for commercial mailings or announcements. In addition, if you are affiliated with a Car oriented business, please note it on your listing.
Aid to a list member is completely voluntary. No one is required to help another list member, although they probably always will.
Beyond the bare necessities of aid, don't ask for things that you know are a hardship for someone. If they can afford to offer it, they will do so.
Pay, or at least offer to pay, for any part or service you use. By the same token, we've all been stranded because of a problem with our Rovers, so we're not going to gouge each other, right?
A thank you note, either on the 'net or by snail mail is always nice.
Advise members of people who are taking advantage of others and offer Kudos to those who go above and beyond the call of duty. Your mailing should include the list members Email addresses, add these to your address book as a group. Please preface the subject line in all mailings regarding the "Birmabright Brotherhood" with the letters BB.
Full addresses have been deleted from the list to protect members from unexpected visitors/mail. If you need a members address contact them by 'phone or Email directly.
Information on the list has been cut and pasted from your own post with minimal editing to fit. Please check your entry for errors/omissions.Keep the list up to date. Errors, changes or deletions should be sent to Trevor Easton, teaston@dofasco.ca, the current "Keeper of the List"
Please protect the integrity of this list. Keep it for your own benefit. Don't forward it to non members.
Land Rover Owners who do not have Email access are accepted on this list as Auxiliary members. The above rules apply and in addition they must be "sponsored" by an Email member under whose name they will be listed.(++++ separator instead of ******) Auxiliary members will obtain their copy of the list from their sponsor.

AND NOW THE SMALL PRINT (CYA)as required by our unfortunately litigious society.

THIS LIST IS PROVIDED AS A SERVICE TO LAND ROVER OWNING LIST MEMBERS. INCLUSION IN THIS LIST DOES NOT IMPLY ANY OBLIGATION TO ASSIST, NEITHER DOES IT IMPLY ANY MECHANICAL KNOWLEDGE OR ABILITY. ASSISTANCE IS PROVIDED PURELY AS A GENTLEMANS AGGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMMUNICATING PARTIES AT THE TIME OF CONTACT. THE COMPILERS, ED ITORS AND MEMBERS OF THIS LIST ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS ACCURACY, ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENCES ARISING FROM INCLUSION ON OR USE OF THE LIST.

Well, I'm sure there is a lot more to say. Just remember, you could be on the other end someday. Keep that in mind when you either offer or ask for help.
