Welcome to 2008 and another year of TSOA social activities.

The mid week run on 27th December was again well attended with over 45 people enjoying a run through the hills followed by lunch at the Victory Hotel at Sellicks Hill – it is thanks to John Williams that this annual event takes place.

The Informal Meeting on 15th January was also well attended with all the ladies heading off to King William Road for gelato and/or coffee. Thanks for Margie for providing supper for the “boys” at the clubrooms.

The annual Ice Cream Run has been extended this year to incorporate a stop for Fish ‘n Chips on the way to Noonies at Semaphore Park for ice cream and/or coffee. The stop for Fish ‘n Chips will be at Barnacle Bills at Plympton. The meeting time has been brought forward to 7.00pm at Beaumont Road off Greenhill Road.
All British Day is on Sunday 10th February, come along and support TSOA in their display.  You can either bring a picnic lunch or support the CFS by purchasing lunch at the oval.

Roger is once again looking to win the display at the MSCA presentation day at Peter Lehmann Winery on 17th February, so come along and join in.   Platters for lunch are available at the winery or bring your own picnic.

CALLING ALL STAGS!

TSOA has won the “Best Club Display” trophy at the MSCA picnic presentation day for the last three years running. Our display themes have included a “TR6 Pack”, and a “Squadron of Spitfires”.

This year, our theme will be a “Stag Party” whereby we intend to display as many Stags as we can find, arranged in a circle, possibly around a keg, with helium balloons and maybe some Triumph underwear (in the nicest possible way, of course).

So, if you own a Stag (condition is irrelevant) and want to enjoy a fun day at the Peter Lehmann Winery, Tanunda, then come along and join in. Assembly of our display will be at 11.00am so please arrive prior to that time. If you intend to bring your Stag, could you please let Roger Lange (8132 1841) know ahead of the day. And if you have something that you can bring to enhance the Stag Party theme, let Roger know and bring it along.

BYO everything for lunch – most people pack a picnic, but a very good luncheon platter can be purchased at the winery cellar door (plus a bit of vino if you want). Full details of this event can be found in the Club Calendar section of the TSOA site.

TSOA has a shady spot “reserved” just left of the entrance to the lawned area towards the top of the hill and near the hall – even hot days can be accommodated quite well.

So make it a date – Sunday, February 17th, and of course, all members and their Triumphs are welcome to join in and gatecrash the party!

Well girls the festive season is upon us again – it only seems like yesterday that we celebrated Christmas, and here it is again!  I hope you have completed all that shopping, and that the turkey is ordered…..or if you are like me, still trying to purchase those last minute gifts…as to wrapping them…..well there must be an easier way that spending night after night on the lounge room floor, cutting, wrapping and writing on cards…because in effect the presents get opened so quickly, would any one really notice if they were wrapped at all?

Enough of that – I hope you all have a safe and Happy Christmas and New Year, and look forward to seeing you all in January for our gelato evening (when we leave the fella’s behind to discuss cars…..)

Season’s greeting to all.

Margie Berlemon.
NB : a Reminder to all the ladies – January general meeting is when the ladies go to King William Road for gelato and coffee – come along and enjoy the fun, and leave the fella’s at the clubrooms for their informal meeting!  See you all at the clubrooms at 8.00pm and we will car pool to King William Road.
