Wheels and tires are one of the categories for judges to inspect. My Dolomite Sprint wheels were in poor original condition, as can be seen but are turning out great with hours of effort at home, 1 side done, 2 weeks to get the passenger side finished
Sunday 27th August saw 36 members enjoy the drive through the hills to Bethany for a gourmet sausage sizzle for lunch. We had hired the Pavillion and Bill had the fire going, and although it was a beautiful day,most people sat on the lawns and enjoyed the sunshine.
Sunday 17th September was the Observation Run and we enjoyed a beautiful sunny day. Dean and Lisa had set a great run through the beachside suburbs and we ended up at Osborne for a Hamburger and Sausage Sizzle lunch. 24 members participated in the day.
It is with great pleasure we announce that Natalie Farrell is taking on the role of Social Secretary for the incoming year. We wish her all the best.
Margie and Bill.
Paul Newman’s early racing career started out in Triumphs before moving on to Datsuns. Interesting front air dam / spoiler . . .
Found this shot of the well known US Triumph racer Kas Kasner with his Vitesse – I wonder if this is what set Bryan Young off on his competition journey?

Our member Bill Galler came across these two intrepid travellers in Kingston SE – they are Bob and Robyn Adams from Victoria.
They are travelling around Australia in their 70 year old Triumph TR2, complete with trailer to carry essentials (and possibly some spare parts?)
What an adventure! We wish them well . . .
Your website manager didn’t particularly like the look of the front page of our site . . . too fussy and a bit boring.
Posts to the site will now appear in date of lodgement order and users will need to scroll down for all the latest.
Something of particular interest may be left at the top of the list for a short time . . . like today’s photo!
Geoff Ellis is selling his lovely TR6 – have a look at the Classifieds section for more details.
Why not find something of your own to share and post it? It is not difficult, and if your need guidance contact me.

The weekender ran well with 20 Adults and 1 Child attending. The weather was kind to us for most part. We had the Girl Guides cater for our two dinners, and they did an excellent job. Most of us came home with pumpkins from Angelina’s farm, who made the pumpkin soup for Saturday night. The Riverland Wine Centre was excellent, and everyone enjoyed their tasting of the wines.
Sunday’s run to Middleton was great with 24 people enjoying lunch at the Middleton Tavern. Great run set by Rory and Sue.
Next month, on Sunday July 23rd we have decided to have a morning tea run to the Gumeracha Toy Factory.
Bill and I are stepping down as Social Secretaries, so we are hoping someone will put their hand up to take over! The calendar of events is covered till December, so you would have a head start on upcoming events!
Bill and Margie
