UK OWNERS’ CLUB

Club History

The idea for the club was formed in April 2000 by a group of owners who met up at the Peterborough Motorhome show and was officially ratified at a meeting on the Bath and West Showground on Sunday 17th September. La strada, the German manufacturers, do not, of course, control the club but have been very supportive and we were very much encouraged by the original La Strada Marketing Manager Sabine Baumgartner.

The owners of around 100 la strada vehicles now belong to the club. Our membership is fairly widespread with owners coming from as far afield as Aberdeen, Jersey, Spain and Northern Ireland. Although there is an interest in club meetings (particularly of 2/3 night duration), we tend to have a maximum of 6 each year. Some members do not attend the meetings but are very interested in a means of exchanging information with other owners. The meetings are very informal affairs and, although some events are arranged e.g. walks, visits to nearby places of interest etc, the emphasis is on freedom to do your own thing.

Along with this web site, there is a regular hardcopy Newsletter providing a means for those without internet access to pass on any items of interest such as problems, tips and any other appropriate advice. Norman Ward, the editor is always pleased to hear from members that wish to share their experiences with others.

A website for the club was proposed at the 2002 AGM (October in Oxford) and is currently being developed by John Turrell. The site will be updated constantly and evolve slowly to provide a comprehensive and additional source of information for all those interested in La Strada motorhomes. It is hoped that visitors will contribute their thoughts and experiences to make it the most interesting and informative site possible.
