A beautiful day to go on a Triumph run to Freeling last Sunday. Meeting at the Crafers hotel car park and then a great run organised by Kat. Ending at a lovely old Pub, the “local” for the TV series “McLeods Daughters”. Great company and delicious food. A bonus was having Sue and Alex join us. Sue is an inspiration to us all 🙏 Roger and Cherri thought they would take the Porche for “a spin” 😛

Socially Speaking – April 2025

Tuesday, April 29th, 2025

The Run to the Stockwell Hotel and the midweek run to The Greenman Inn at Ashbourne were enjoyed and well
attended.
The Weekender, where we have a fabulous time with everyone, we will be travelling to Burra this year. Margie & Bill
always provide great eating and sight-seeing including little gems that are hidden in unusual places will now be on the
6th-8th June. Contact Margie or Bill on 0438 836 837. It is on in June instead of May because Burra will be
celebrating their 180th year and we could not get accommodations for May, and because of that the June Run to
Middleton has been changed to the 18th May. Roger Lange has set this run, again nice scenery and great food
ending at the Middleton Tavern 37 Goolwa Road Middleton. Meeting at the Crafers Hotel Car Park and leaving at 10
am.
It is shaping up to be a very impressive social calendar so far, and we have the 60th Anniversary this year as well.
This is on the 20th of July, at the Tea Tree Gully Golf Club Restaurant for Lunch. For the first 100 people the lunch
will be Subsidised by $10 to $50 each, after that it will be $60 each. We are expecting a large crowd so get in early.

On the 17th August Charlie and Carol Onody, new members to the club, are setting a run to the Inglewood Inn for
lunch, Thank you Charlie & Carol for your contribution. It’s great to see our new members enjoying the social side of
our club.
Don’t forget, the TR Register is having their annual Rally in October and have asked us to participate on the weekend
of 18th October to their show and shine at the Hahndorf Primary School Oval 10am – 3pm. Cars on the Oval by
9.30am.
Drinks and food are available at the oval and in aid of the School.
Also, on the 19th October is the Bay to Birdwood parade, and the TR Register is getting a group of Triumphs together
to participate in that as well.

We would like an EXPRESSION OF INTEREST now! if you would like to attend in one or both events. Contact Colin
Baldock a member of both clubs email colbtr2@hotmail.com or mobile 0405 396 874 or myself.
Hope you can participate with the social side of the club as it is your club, and we would love to see you there.
.
Cheers,
Natalie Farrell
