TR Action 255
GWTR traditionally hold their Christmas munch before the 25th and this year was no exception, for we returned to the Swan Inn in Arundel town for the equally traditional fare and was of course on the Third Tuesday of the Month Meet on the 20th December. The opportunity to book overnight accommodation was not to be missed for those, like myself who may well just get, well, oiled! ~ A right good bash it was!
Goodwood are the West Sussex TR group at www.goodwood-tr-classics.co.uk and should any new member or non-internet member want details of events and meets just pick up the telephone! Please update me with your email address for 2012 if you changed it in the last three months and of course, if possible, a picture of your TR. Our growing band includes the splendid motors of Steve Young’s TR4A and Tony Thomas with his TR6 - both new ‘regulars’ to our growing band !
When once again the warm sun shines I am sure we will see both at the George Inn in their full roaring glory. Until then it could be sun lamps in the TR garage or would that cause paint colour fade?
As the new GL I would like to thank everyone in GWTR for their support in 2011. Cheers one and all.
TR Action 254
Goodwood Revival has shot past and is still firing on all its magnificent cylinders - only 134,000 patrons attended over that weekend! The sharp eyed on the Saturday may have spotted the use of the Goodwood black flag with the orange centre at the racetrack side and a car number with it. It is the instruction to bring an errant driver in, out of the race, as a breach of track race rules had been deemed to have happened - and a ‘stewards enquiry’ followed .Very serious for the driver and must be devastating for the owner as the car is liable to be suspended from the racing. It is very rare to see this flag out with at Goodwood… did you see it folks?
The last of the evening’s summer rays have now faded for our regular Meet at the George Inn and indeed the 9th October Hastings seafront show pretty well marks the end of the show season here in Sussex with the London to Brighton Rally on the 6th November briefly shouldering aside the winter slumber for many a TR. Details of events will be found in our next local Newsletter at www.goodwood-tr-classics.co.uk. See you at our Meet with or without the TR!
Coming up:
15th November: Meet at the George Inn, Eartham, will feature both a Motoring Quiz and our new-style Raffle whereby bods bring along the prizes to be won, all in the great TR and Classic car cause.
20th December: Xmas dinner at the Swan in Arundel.
For those that missed Laon last year, GWTR are organising a 2012 trip in May.
TR Action 253
The summer is well set and dusk is already descending earlier now on our bevy of fine TRs in the car park at the George Inn, Eartham. Indeed Shoreham Air Show will have come and gone. Our group were invited to display by the Sadcase club at the local Storrington Village show and nine of our finest TRs turned out with Ian Page?s TR5 and Jim Sanson?s TR4A ~ a tad more local than most. Rod Pearce and John Cops were showing their lovely TR2s along with Mike and Jennifer Noyes in a first outing in their excellent Green TR4A after a serious overdrive gearbox overhaul… less said the better there then!
For our GWTR tour to Michelham Priory in July~ we owe many thanks to Paul & Denise Russell for their pathfinder route, which was a runaway success!
More social events are planned so come over and see us as we welcome more new members to our regular West Sussex monthly club night ~ check out our website and local newsletter at www.goodwood-tr-classics.co.uk
