London Group News November 2008
The first event that is fast approaching is the Fireworks party on Saturday 8th November at 7pm. Our hosts this year are John and Erica Millward. Please could you let either me or Roger Hogarth know if you are coming along. If you have already been in contact, please ignore the previous sentence.
The next event is the Christmas meal. As hinted in the last TRaction, we have a change of venue. This year we are going to Stamford Bridge, home of Chelsea football club. The date is Saturday 6th December. Menus will be distributed soon via the email system or perhaps at the Fireworks party.
Of course, the Christmas meal is also when the annual awards are presented. If you received one of the much-coveted trophies please don’t forget to bring it back so we can award to another well deserving person. The TR nut is given to someone who shows true dedication to all things TR. The Piston from Above is awarded for having a run of bad luck and the Dipstick is, well, the London Group equivalent of the Darwin award.
The 'Piston from Above' award
Congratulations to Chris Gleeson for completing the Round Britain reliability run. The TR5 did not behave itself, the sun did not shine much, the rain was very heavy in some places and Chris is still grinning, especially as he completed it all with the hood down!
Roger and Sue in their 4A, together with Richard Poore and ‘H’ have just returned from a rundown to Shepton Mallet for the autojumble. The roads were empty, the autumn colours would have been spectacular if the sun had shone and the return journey was decidedly wet! The mulled cider during lunchtime in Evercreech warmed then up and put them in good spirits. I expect Richard was rather glad that his TR has a hard top.
I know the weather is getting colder, and we have had the first snowfall, but it would be great to see you down at the Rose of York. You don’t have to bring the TR.
