TR Action 257
Our recent Annual General Meeting, professionally chaired by our Local Group Co-ordinator Kevin Warrington, was extremely well attended and our Committee once again re-elected en bloc. The proposed list of events for the year were presented and I think that once again we have a very broad selection of events that should appeal to everyone’s taste and we look forward to another very enjoyable year.
Prior to the AGM we held our "Nostalgia Evening"; always popular and this year culminating in "Reindeer Racing" A bit tricky rounding them up and getting them up the stairs though but much fun ensued, which could have had something to do with the gambling and/or the alcoholic prizes. A good night was had by all; well apart from those who backed the three legged reindeer.
Coming up is the Bristol Classic Car Show at Shepton Mallet where we will be joining forces with Apple County to put on the TR Register stand. Any member coming along, please come and say hello.
We also hope to have a presence at the Standard Triumph Marque Day at Prescott.
Please visit our website for full details of all our planned events and activities in 2012.

Following a very good 2011, Brunel are looking forward to a cracking 2012 with lots of opportunities for everyone to get out and use their TR's
By the time that you read this we will have held our Annual General Meeting where hopefully all of our Committee members will have been re-elected. I sat in on a recent Social Committee meeting to discuss our proposed list of social events for 2012 and we have a lot of new ideas for events and socials that we hope everyone will find interesting. These will have been tabled and discussed at the AGM. Full details of these will be published in our March newsletter.
One of the first runs of the year should see Brunel have a few entries on the Wessex and New Forest Run and Drive it Day the following week. The first major classic car shows of the year, The Bristol Classic Car Show takes place at Shepton Mallet on 21st/22nd April where Brunel will be joining forces with Apple County to put on the TR Register stand.
We also have four cars going over to Le Mans Classic which we are all looking forward to. The location of our annual weekend away has not been finalised yet but will be somewhere of great interest.
All in all then, we look forward to a fun filled and extremely social year, as always.

Having quite rightly received a ticking off and a rap on the knuckles for missing our last report I thought that I had better try to write something meaningful.
So what has been happening at Brunel? At the TR Register AGM in November, Elf Harris was awarded a very much deserved Gold Award and it was good to see a contingent of Brunel members present, half of whom were totally unaware of what was going to unfold.
We have our own Annual General Meeting in February where all the officers of the group will hopefully stand for another year. The year’s proposed activities and events will also be tabled so please come along and have your say in the running of the group. Check our website for venue details as this will not be at our regular meeting venue.
Our greatly anticipated Christmas meal will have just taken place by the time that you read this and no doubt we will all have had a wonderful evening and hopefully all behaved ourselves.
So it is forward into 2012 and what should be another cracking year for Brunel. Please keep and eye on our website for up to date details of what we have planned.
TR Action 253
Our trip to Blenheim Place was a huge success and extremely enjoyable notwithstanding the odd mechanical breakdown and the convoy getting split up and lost on a couple of occasions. A great weekend all the same.
Our attendance at the Easter Compton Summer Classics event along with the Coke Cola TR7 went very well and was well attended by Brunel members. The show organisers will hopefully have learnt from this and that it will return next year as it has great potential.
The Brunel barbeque was blessed with lovely weather and together with a guided tour around the Manor House was another fine day out.
Coming up at our November meeting we will be holding another quiz night which proved very popular last year.
