TR Action 255

Here I am sitting here at the end of November writing this report for you all to read in January so with Christmas and the New Year over it is time to get back in the garage to do all the little jobs you planned to do last year but never managed to complete.

I will start this report with a round up of the last couple events in 2011. At our usual Friday monthly meeting in November we held our AGM and it may come as no surprise to you that I am still the Group Leader along with Kevin Byrne as treasurer, Peter and Jane Christie our social organisers and Dennis Hobbs as web support. There were plenty of discussions with ideas flowing in preparation for 2012 event diary, the Sunday lunches will continue and there will be a selection of new venues (along with some previous ones we have become acquainted with before) and also what shows/events to attend. Now I guess it is over to me to put the diary of events together and hopefully get it on our web page by early March.

The Lunch at the Red Lion was well attended with some of us meeting at the Exeter services before heading off for coffee at Fingle Glen Golf Hotel at Tedburn and then on through the lanes and some wider roads to our lunch stop. I would like to thank Roger and Maureen for leading this run. On our arrival at the Red Lion we met up with some more of our members and ended up with fifteen cars in the car park. After a leisurely meal and chat it was time for us all to leave and make our separate ways home after another great day out. That is about it for now.

First meeting in 2012: Friday 3 February at the Dartmoor Lodge near Ashburton TQ13 7JW. Come along and join us!

TR Action 254

Well here we are with the last copy of TR Action for 2011 and another year nearly over.

To summarise our year, apart from the monthly meetings we have attended the usual shows and also few new venues, had our regular lunch meetings and gambled with the weather - getting caught out a few times.

The Lunch at the Church House Inn at Stokenham on 16th October was well attended and as a fine day was forecast we decided to met up for coffee at Buckfast Abbey and then ten TRs headed off for an enjoyable lunch. To make the most of the day it was suggested we go for a run and cream tea so we then headed off to Buckland Tout-Saints Hotel at Goveton near Kingsbridge, somewhere a few of us have never been before. Plenty of narrow lanes some with grass growing in the middle were negotiated to get there and what a lovely place and setting to finish off a great day out.

Can I just remind everybody that there will be no monthly meeting on the first Friday in January 2012, but it will be back to normal from February on wards?

I would like to wish you all a very happy Christmas and best wishes for the New Year and to thank you for your support throughout the past year.

A few dates for your diary:

Friday 2nd –December: monthly meeting at the Dartmoor Lodge

Sunday 11th December: Christmas lunch, Smugglers Inn at Holcombe near Teignmouth EX7 0LA

TR Action 253

I finished the last report saying I was off to Harrogate for the IWE. We had a good trip up, 350 miles from Plymouth, and thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. It was good to meet up with Andy and Elaine, ex-Devon members now living in France who joined us at our camping area. I parted with some cash to buy some of the items on my shopping list for the TR4A I am restoring. Monday saw Martin and I head off for a couple of days touring around the dales and on our travels we visited the Tan Hill Inn, the highest inn in Great Britain.

7th August saw Devon group cross the river Tamar for the Mt Edgcumbe Classic Car Show. This is always a good show but once again the weather turned for the worse. On Sunday 14th August some of Devon Group headed off to the Bridgewater Classic Car Show - where they collected the award for the best car club stand, see photo.

Sunday lunch on 21st August saw us meet at the Devon Hotel near Exeter for coffee before heading of to Budleigh Salterton. With the sun out a stroll by the water was just right before heading off for lunch. I would like to thank Barbara and Derek for inviting us all back for a cream tea; what a fine way to finish off a great day out.

The first monthly meeting at our new venue the Dartmoor Lodge was well supported with fifteen TRs in the car park and we had two new members join us, Brian and Shirley with their TR6 and Mike who is searching for TR4, TR4A or TR6. I hope they enjoyed their evening and will become regular attendees.

Sunday 16th October: lunch at the Church House Inn, Stokenham, TQ7 2SZ.
Friday 16th October: the last meeting for 2011 at the Halfway House, Willand, EX15 2RF
