Description:
The Club was formed in 1971 by a small group of enthusiasts
and has now grown to be a major grouping of owners, drivers,
interested parties and even unwilling partners! In its early days, the
Club had access to the Stanford Battle Area near Thetford - a trials
and safari area second to none - right in the middle of East Anglia's
'Breckland' hence the name for the Club.
The Club badge depicts 'Old Shuck' (from the anglo-saxon
'soucca' - omen of doom), a large spectral hound which supposedly
roams the marshes of Norfolk, and a windpump typical of the Broads
area.
Our members cover a wide range of ages from teenagers to
retired people and come from all walks of life, most living in East
Anglia. The Club has a full calendar of events held mainly in Norfolk
and Suffolk and tries to cater for all its members. We consider ours a
family club and encourage wives, husbands and children to come along.
We regularly hold competitive trials to test the skill of
drivers which are based on low speed manoeuvering through ten or
twelve-gated 'sections' over rough terrain. These are one of the few
occasions when many drivers ever use their vehicles to their full
potential.
