How can I join the Land Rover Owners Club of Victoria or apply as a temporary member?

Updated

The Land Rover Owners Club of Victoria (LROCV) provides two paths on its website: full membership via the "Join" section, and a "Temporary Member Application" for those not ready to commit to full membership. Both are accessible from the main navigation menu at landroverownersclubofvictoria.lrocv.wildapricot.org. Visitors are also welcome to attend monthly club meetings in person, and can contact the Membership Officer by email for details.

Where to find the application options

The site's navigation includes two separate entries:

  • Join — the path for full club membership
  • Temporary Member Application — a separate form for temporary membership

Both appear in the top-level menu alongside Club Events, Trip Classification, Trip Information, Club Info, Driver Training, Registers and Special Interest Groups, Club Permit Scheme, Club Rules, and Victorian 4WD Show.

Full membership vs. temporary membership

The site presents these as distinct options rather than tiers of the same process:

Full membership Temporary membership
Entry point "Join" menu item "Temporary Member Application" menu item
Purpose Ongoing club membership Short-term or trial participation
How to start Use the Join section Submit the temporary member application

The club describes itself as having approximately 650 members and as the longest-established four-wheel drive club in Australia, formed on 13 September 1963. If you want to take part in club activities over the long term, the Join route is the relevant one; if you want to try the club out or participate on a limited basis, the Temporary Member Application is the stated option.

Attending a meeting as a visitor

You do not need to be a member to attend a club meeting. The club states that visitors are very welcome.

  • When: First Thursday of every month (except January) at 7:30pm
  • Where: Village Green Hotel, "Copper Fox" room, corner of Ferntree Gully Road and Springvale Road, Mulgrave (Melways 71 B9)
  • Dinner: Bistro dinner from 6pm onwards; if you are joining for dinner, tick "yes" on the registration form
  • Next listed meeting: Thursday 1 October 2026

Visitors who would like to attend are asked to email the Membership Officer, Nelson, at [email protected].

The registration form

The site refers to a registration form used in connection with meeting attendance, including the dinner option. If you plan to attend a meeting and join the dinner, indicate this on that form so the club can plan accordingly.

Practical steps

  1. Go to the club website and choose Join for full membership or Temporary Member Application for temporary membership.
  2. If you want to attend a meeting first, note the date and venue above and email [email protected] to let the Membership Officer know you are coming.
  3. If you are attending the dinner, tick "yes" on the registration form.
  4. For general enquiries, the club's contact details are listed under "Contact Us"; its postal address is PO Box 962, Mount Waverley, Victoria 3149.

What the club does

Knowing what you are joining can help you decide between the two options. The club's stated purposes include promoting the interests of Land Rover owners and drivers, encouraging four-wheel drive touring, running training programs and social events, cooperating with land management authorities and community organisations, and preserving the Land Rover marque. Members can also take part in registers and special interest groups, driver training, and the club permit scheme.
