From Red Barron to Big Cheese…

A pre-season look behind the scenes of the club world begins with Off Road World Wide having a catch up with Richard Maior-Barron, Chairman of the AWDC…..

Like all clubs, the AWDC has had it’s share of ups and downs. The usual struggle to get committee members on board took its toll on the club along with a slightly bumpy downhill slide in membership.

So what persuaded Richard to come back after a 17 year break from off road and jump straight in to the rather beleaguered driving seat, taking on the role of Chairman, at one very bleak point in the AWDC story?

Mini Me Drivers Club

A group that has been growing each year, especially at Gaydon and the Kelmarsh LR Shows, is that of the youngest generation of LR lovers and off roaders…the Mini Mes. We started the event at Gaydon, when we gave a 1/2hr set in the main arena to the pint sized crews for their own display. Headed in by Layci, Cassie and Alfie, it was just to much fun! Kyle Cooper brought his wonderfully historic Dodo, we had a true mini me barn find, police LRs and all sorts….perfect! From there, the group has grown on and grown up!! So, new members are coming in, others getting a tad too grow-ed up, so upgrading and on it goes! We’ll be working with the Mini Me Drivers Club and the Mini Mes FB page, to follow this fast growing crew around the shows……and one day, we’ll have a 1/4 scale live studio broadcast, with their own Mini Me Drivers Club team heading up the mic work!!

A truly exemplary club, with a massive heart and the warmest welcome. So proud to say its where it all started for so many of us.
