Some Q&A from previous years ...
Q. Do I need to preregister?
A. No, just turn up on the day and drive right into the arena.

Q. What time should I arrive?
A. Plan to arrive between noon and 1pm, you can also arrive at anytime between 1pm and 4pm but the earlier the better.

Q. Do I need to be a Rover Lander member to drive in?
A. No, anyone with a Land Rover can drive in and join in with the show. All other non LR vehicles can be parked outside at anytime and the occupants can walk into the show. (Walk in's are free).

Q. What is the Snow Flake Chase?
A. This is a local run into the mountains that we do on the Sunday after Founders Day. Typically meeting around 9am and back on the road around 4pm. Expect snow, dress warm, bring your lunch. Everyone is welcome. You will need tires that will handle snow (M&S, A/T, M/T) more details will be posted soon....

Any other questions, feel free to ask???

Well, the time is almost here ...
Hopefully you have done whatever it takes to get that pride and joy of yours ready for the big day,

Looking forward to seeing everyone come out to support your club and enjoy the Rover-Landers Founders Day in our 30th club year!

See you all there,
Cheers,
Andy

All,

I would like to congratulate the Founders Day Organization Team and all those who made the effort to exhibit their Rovers...

This years event was a leap forward as exhibited by the number of out-of-town guests and Roverlanders from the past. You were able to generate some real excited about this years event and it paid off.

I would also like to thank Jill Dean for an amazing array of Roverlanders Merchandise and keeping the event exciting and glamorous. Love the 30th Anniversary Badge. :D

Pamela at the door did a wonderful job of keeping things moving and the trucks (and owners) organized, well done!

The Defender, which Don MacDonald brought and which won Best of Show and Best Defender showed amazing attention to detail and for that the builder, Mike Vegh, also deserves a hearty congratulations.

Finally thank you to all who voted for Summer, she turns 45 tomorrow and like many females has been feeling a little old lately. Winning in her class made her feel like she`s still got it.... 8)

Kudos to all that attended!!!

Kids and I had a great time!

Thanks to everyone involved!!

looking forward to seeing some pics :)

What a wonderful day it was, Big Thank you to all involved in this years Founders Day :D

Shame I couldn't make it.

Next year. I will be based in Lower Mainland then...

What a great event! I had a super time and I appreciate everyone's effort in putting together Founders day and managing the activities. There are some really nice trucks up there - all were well worth showing off. I took pictures for ideas to consider as I re-assemble our truck, and really enjoyed chatting with folks I hadn't seen in a long time. Happy 30th club!

My son climbed on the roof of my Disco and snapped this. Sorry the site file size limits the resolution.

Great show and lots of fun. Saw some old friends and learned a lot- just wish I had some spare cash lying around! Sincere thanks to the folks who made it possible.

Hi Andy,

Well done to all of those who made this another GREAT RoverLander event, especially Pam and Jill who were the only trusted with tasks that involved the collection of $cash$.

Hi All,

Thanks to All that came out to support our largest event of the year, it appears it was a great success! Still adding up all the stats and crunching all the numbers but its looking like its right up there with the best....

There must be loads of you with photos to share, last year we had lots of "promise to send in" but not many actually arrived! Please take a moment to send your photos to our Gallery Manager Bill (his email is on the club contacts tab).

I have started it off with a few here;
