Society Experience

The Old North State is just the place to live the experience, meet new friends, and share the adventurer's passions. We are a society of Land Rover owners, which means that we only drive Land Rovers/Range Rovers/Santanas at our events.  Please notice that you do not have to own a Land Rover to be a member.

Membership in the Old North State is a simple affair, but first ask what the Old North State is all about.

Every Land Rover owner's organization has a distinct flavor, and the Old North State is no different.  The Old North State is actually a non-profit organization designed to offer adventures for Land Rover owners. Our adventures are pre-planned and tend to focus more on trips you can take your daily driver on and feel reasonably safe that it can still get you to work on Monday. We try to stay away from the "if they didn't want it broken, they shouldn't have brought it out here," mindset. Even though we try to be very careful, things do happen on our adventures, so be aware.

We conduct an official club event quarterly, which leaves plenty of time for you to join up with new friends and plan trips that suit your individual tastes.  Information about these trips can be found on our message board.  For your own enjoyment, please make sure you know what you are getting into before you join one of these trips.  Our member's off-road styles vary from " Hurry! put it in the garage, it is going to rain" to " I rolled it down the hill three times and nothing broke, want to go again?"  Please make sure that the adventure you are joining is right for you.

As the Old North State is a statewide organization, there are some types of events that you probably will not see. 

  • It wouldn't be fair to our membership if we offered middle of the week activities.  While our quarterly activities might be difficult for some members to attend, events conducted during the week would be impossible.

  • We won't conduct any sort of official event at a pub or bar, due to liability concerns.

  • We also won't conduct events on any private property with out written permission.

Any active duty or reserve service member stationed in NC receives a free membership to the Old North State.  Thank you for your service.

Society Organization

As the Society is a not for profit organization, it is managed a bit different than what you may be accustomed.  Over all responsibility for managing the society rests with the board of directors.  Day-to-day operations are managed by the society officers: President, Vice-president, Secretary, and Treasurer, with the lion's share of the work falling on the president's shoulders. Society officers are selected by the board of directors from nominations placed by members of the society. 

Benefits of Membership

  • An open invitation to all of the society events.

  • Free admittance to the Uwharrie Rover Expedition! URE! held in October of each year.

  • All of our events will be posted to the Events Calendar and published in the newsletter in advance giving you time to plan your schedule.

  • Our trips provide you with an opportunity to increase your driving skill level in a friendly and supportive environment.

  • Our e-newsletter, Old Reliable, and electronic mailings will keep you up to date about upcoming events, as well as news about what is happening in the world of off-road adventures.

Please notice that the display of any firearm at any society event without written permission from the board of directors, is grounds for immediate dismissal from the society.  Society concerns surrounding the safe handling of firearms and the inherent dangers associated with them require that we be very clear about this policy.

 

Membership

Membership dues are $25.00 a year.  To make life a little easier on those folks maintaining the membership rosters we follow these guidelines about paying for the membership.
