THE TEAM

Here are the members who run the various areas of the club with a brief run down of their background.

Richard Folland - Chairman. Rich has been with MAD Freelanders since its start in November 2004. Starting out in the role of Press Officer with the need to promote the Freelander and the Club, and then moving on to look after our Events calendar, he took over the role of Acting Chairman when Andy Stickland stepped down in November 2009. Having traded his original Freelander for a nice shiny D90 it wasn't long before he missed it and came back in a Freelander Commercial. But that didn't last long, and now he now runs an even shinier Discovery 3.
   
Alan Bowles - Treasurer & Membership Secretary. Alan learned to drive off road in the East African bush when he was only just old enough to see through the steering wheel of his father’s Series II, with blocks fitted on the pedals and a cushion under his backside. All highly irregular of course, and not to be condoned, but that’s how things were done out there. A decade later back in England he turned up for his driving test in the same Series II, much to the examiner’s disapproval! Alan acquired his own first LR, a Freelander TD4, in 2002 and was green laning in it just three weeks later. Since then it has had various modifications, and gets out and muddy as often as possible. Alan has been with M.A.D Freelanders since the start and is also a committee member of the Freelander Club.
   
Simon 'Si' Stirley - General Manager. One of the founder members of MAD Freelanders along with Big G & H, After a brief stint with a 'Blue Oval' vehicle he has finally seen sense and is back in a V6 Freelander. Si has considerable offroad experience, is a member of and works closely with GLASS, and is also a member of the Freelander Club. When not getting offroad he works in IT and spends his days with his head in a computer, well that's assuming he is not side tracked by his MG or Mini Cooper!
   
John Williams - Rights-of-Way Officer. A comparative newcomer to The Team, John drives a genuine Camel Trophy TD4.

Scott Morse - Ordinary Committee Member Scott has been a stalwart of the club for many years. Having owned most variants on the Td4 Freelander he's finally succumbed to a D90 - but we're sure he'll see sense again soon....
