TR Action 255

Group Leader Update from Rob Murphy: As Northumbria Group members will know, I wrote to them all recently and invited them to a meeting to talk around how on earth we could fill the Group Leader shoes vacated by the highly estimable John Scarr. Additionally, my letter invited comment, suggestion or even candidates for this position. Happily the response and support was unanimous in favour of Sean Tindle, who had thrown his hat into the ring. The meeting was held at the Lakeside in late October, and was both extremely well attended and very positive. John Scarr himself was very publicly lauded for ten years of selfless hard work to bring the group to the successful state it currently enjoys, and typically, he was instrumental in appealing for the the level of support from all Northumbrians that he had enjoyed, to be transferred to Sean.

I feel Sean will make an excellent Group Leader, and I appeal to all those in the Group to step forward and help Sean continue the Northumbria TR success.

Sean Tindle writes: The regular members of Northumbria will be aware that I was elected as your new group leader at a meeting held at the Lakeside on 19th October, chaired by our North East Co-ordinator Rob Murphy. I would like to thank everyone who has given their support and encouragement. Taking up my new role as group leader has left the Web Authors post vacant, and I am also looking for support in the role of Social Secretary, so if any members would like to get further involved please get in touch. Barry Thomas and Tom Smith are happy to retain their posts as events co-ordinator and treasurer and between the committee we will continue to establish the group and lead by the example John Scarr set.

Since taking over the roll as gl I have collated 90 upto date email addresses for the 125 members within our group and would like to use this medium to keep all members informed with what we are doing, so if you have received recent emails from me then I have your details, if not and you would like to receive updates then please get in touch.

My first official roll was to attend the AGM at Gaydon which is a super venue and well worth a look at the cars in the museum if ever you are in the area. I was pleased to witness both Rob Murphy, and Jim Johnson from the Cleveland Group receive their awards for acknowledgment of their hard work and dedication in organising events at IWE 2011 Harrogate and sad to hear of Steve Redways resignation as editor of TRaction.

At the time of writing this article, in November, we have again two close runners for the Dave Wright trophy, (most attendance in their TR throughout the year). The trophy is to be presented at the Lakeside Christmas Meal.

Our events program for 2012 is still been planned so if you know of any events,good pubs in your local area for club nights or rides out please let Barry Thomas or myself know, we always welcome new venues and suggestions, so why not invite us to your local and help make 2012 a great TR adventure for the Northumbrians. Anyone wishing to go to the Classic Le Mans 2012, please let me know, the Register requires bookings by the end of January. More in the next issue on the new members who have joined our group recently and less of the formalities as in this issue.

Cheers for now.

TR Action 253

Hi all Northumbrians, WOW! how did we help to pull off what has been said to be the best International for years – well, with a lot of hard work and dedication. I am sure the finer details and success of Harewood & Harrogate will be discussed at length in other articles within TR Action, so I am going to refrain from bragging within this piece, but thanks to those Northumbrians who helped out over the weekend.

Thanks also to Jim Johnson & Alan Waller from Cleveland and John Scarr Northumbria for the organisation of Fridays Harewood Hill Climb, along with the marshals supplied by Northumbria, namely Brian & Jill Archer, Barry Thomas, Tony Hughes, Jim Duff, Paul Defty, John Cook, Simon Rutter and Andy Trotter. This addition to the weekend went down a storm, let’s hope similar events can be organised at future Internationals (where ever they are).

Can I also thank Brian, Paul, John & Jim for their help marshalling Saturday’s Auto solo and Jill for timekeeping, the event organised by Phil Tucker was again a change from the usual format and provided great fun for all participants and spectators.

Richard Paw would like to pass on his thanks to Bethanie Tindle and Rachael Kerby for their help with the TR Dog Show on Sunday.

Last but not least can I thank Rob Murphy the North East Group Co-ordinator for his tireless work before, during and after the International, without the likes of Rob’s dedication to the TR Register, events like this would not exist.

After we all came down from the highs of the International our summer programme resumed with club events. August 3rd took us to The Anchor Inn at Wittonstall, where Keith Gray and Malcolm McKitten showed off their Silver medals for The Pride of Ownership in the TR6 GTM Awards from Harrogate, well done to both. August 6th & 7th saw Northumbria and Cleveland groups meet up again at The Croft Nostalgic weekend, with an impressive display of local TRs watching a full range of TRs competing against a wide range of 60s classics, however the rain did stop play on Saturday afternoon, thanks again to Geoff Mansfield for the invite. August 17th took us to The Shepherd and Shepherdess next to Beamish with a large turnout of the regulars. August 21st and Barry Thomas led Northumbria on a Sunday drive out. High Force Waterfalls on the River Tees was the eventual destination to see the 21m drop and with the recent rains and the river in full flow the waterfall looked spectacular.

We are now into our winter programme, so why not come along and join us, whether you have a TR on not or are in the middle of a rebuild or just looking for a car. Within the Northumbria Group we have all TR models so if it is technical advice or a ride in any particular model you are thinking of buying, or would like a second opinion, please make contact.
October 2011 – March 2012 you can find us at: 1st Wed of the month at The Skiff Inn (near The Metrocentre). 3rd Wed of the month at The Lakeside (A194 near Monkton).

TR Action 252

Hi all Northumbrians and apologies for our group missing the last two issues, but the group is currently going through change since John Scarr stepped aside and with all the shows and organisation involvement for Harewood and Harrogate TR Action has been overlooked. By the time you read this you may or will be about to be invited to a group meeting by Rob Murphy, the North East area coordinator. Rob would like all the regulars and those who do not attend but just need an excuse to come along and have a chat about taking our group forward, so please support Rob and let him know if you can attend.

Enough of the formalities – what have we been up to since the last publication from our group? April 6th saw a large turnout of the regulars at the Melton Constable Seaton Sluice, the former drinking hole of the much loved and missed Dave Wright. On April 10th a small contingent of Northumbrians joined Cleveland for the now annual Farndale Daffs run. April 17th was Drive It Day, so a convoy run down to Harewood Hill Climb to see classics in action was the order of the day and was the basis for a recce for our involvement in the main event in July.

Our summer programme then got underway at several hostelries throughout Northumbria namely at The Red Lion, Blue Bell, Robin Hood, Kings Head, Adam & Eve and The Peacock, no one can say we do not cover our geographical area, so when we are next in your area get in touch and come along.

In between those club nights we have had excellent turn outs at shows, Durham Classic Car Club Show at Witton Castle was the first, Raby Castle Show and a damp venture to Scotland and The Moffitt Classics Car Show & Rally all went off without too much en route tinkering.

July 3rd saw ten Northumbrians attend the fast growing MG Northumbria Corbridge Show, sponsored by our local classic parts supplier Andy of Sports Car Supplies Swalwell. Next year we are going to attend with a TR club stand to outdo those MGs .

On July 17th we took the annual trip to Newby Hall to meet up with the rest of the North East Groups which again was attend by our General Manager Allan Foster. Even with the rain on the TR Register stand still had 30 TRs on display, including TS2 and the Coca Cola TR7.

At the time of writing this Harrogate is almost upon us, so I expect the next report will be all praise on how us Northerners pulled off such an event and arranged the brilliant weather.

Forthcoming events for September are MG Northumbria run Sept 4th, Three Horse Shoes Sept 7th, Selkirk Classic Car Show Sept 18th & The Crown & Anchor Sept 21st.
