TR Action 243
What can I say about our first road run to Zennor last month other than awesome. Perfect weather conditions, one of the best coastal roads any were in world, a great pub with Atlantic views and nearly twenty local TRs. Julian confirmed this is the best attended event by local members in their cars in the history of the Cornish TR group.
The picture - courtesy of Julian - shows an unexpected but fantastic surprise of Phil Tucker’s amazing 1959 TR3S recreation which joined us for the run. The attention to detail and workmanship is outstanding and this car will draw crowds at any classic car event. For more pictures of the evening see the group gallery on our website.
I hope the weather and attendance was as good for our road run to Padstow which I frustratingly missed due to work commitments.
Any ideas for future events for this year or next would be welcome as the trip to Wiscombe VSCC by minibus organised by myself and Rob was well attended but not by TR members but the Cornwall Traction Avant club - 8 of them and 3 of us.
Let us hope the good weather continues and I look forward to meeting more new and old members at our summer road runs.

Hope you all survived the snow. Any pictures of TRs in Cornish snow would be welcomed. I spotted a TR6 in the snow but did not recognise the car – was it you?
Apologies for missing the last two deadlines for the magazine report but time seems to be against me. I am busy finalising the events for 2010 but several members are keen to visit the Goodwood Revival in September. I went to the first Revival meeting which was awesome and friends tell me it gets better every year. If you are interested please let me know by the end of March as accommodation needs to be sorted well in advance.
The TR Register is doing some national promotion this year and I hope they will be present at the relocated St Agnes Steam Rally at Stithians Show Ground this August. I hope to encourage many TRs to attend.
If you have any ideas for events this year it is still not too late to contact me and I can add it to the event calendar.
Hopefully I will see some new and old faces at our new venue at The New Inn in Goonhavern and you will join us on our evening road runs from May till September. Please check the group website for details or contact me direct if you still find the internet too much hassle. Details in We're Only Here For The Beer.
TR Action 240
Good to see so many of you at our temporary venue at the Penhale Round, Fraddon for Julian’s excellent selection of 40 years of TR activities. The selection of photos was amazing and some much younger Cornish TR Register owners were spotted and yes, Julian did have hair, wore flares and owned several TRs in his youth! Thank you for the great support for this event and good to see some old and new faces and of course thank you Julian.
Whilst this venue sufficed for the photo show it does not have much of a pub atmosphere and after much discussion with those present, as from January we will be meeting at The New Inn at Goonhavern located on the Newquay road some five miles from Perranporth. Our evening road runs to different pubs will start in May and run through till September - full details of events for next year will appear on group website towards the end of January.
Have a happy and healthy new year and let’s hope for a sunny summer!
