TR Register International Weekend
Meguiars Concours and Pride of Ownership
Millers Oils Triumph Survivors Display
RESULTS 2016
Words and pictures by Andrew Smith.
Bathed in sunshine, the magnificent Lincoln Showground and the beautiful surrounding countryside set the backdrop for the largest gathering of Triumph TRs and Standard Triumphs in the UK, as this year's International Weekend also featured the Club Triumph National Weekend and Standard Triumph Marque Day.
The 2016 concours event saw a change of format and timings to the judging and awards presentation. The awards presentation was brought forward from its traditional 4pm start to 2pm. The awards presentation was held on the grassed arena allowing greater participation by members, the public and celebration of award winners. Entrants were formed into a half circle in the arena and drove forward to collect their individual awards from our Chairman, Phil Tucker and representatives from our sponsors: Meguiar's, Rimmer Brothers and Millers Oils. The change format went down particularly well with the entrants and viewing public alike and is a feature to be carried forward to 2017; subject the good weather of course!
As the new organiser for the concours event, it was pleasing to see all the planning, preparation and learning undertaken this year come to fruition. But it wasn't without its hic-ups. That said, many lessons were learned and will be incorporated into the 2017 event.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the new and seasoned volunteer judges who stepped forward to give up their time not only over the concours weekend, but also in attending the Judges Training Day back in early June. We now have a pool of 24 volunteer Judges, 19 of whom were busy judging this year's concours and Pride of Ownership events.
Thanks also go to TR Enterprises for hosting the Judges Training Day and also to our sponsors Meguiar's, who ran a Concours Car Preparation Workshop in May. A special mention of thanks to Howard Pryor, East Director who gave valuable advice, assistance and helped on the day; despite wanting to play with his new toy; a 1904 Vintage Cadillac.
Thanks also to Phil Tucker who coached me through the process and gave sage advice throughout. And last but not least, thank you to all the entrants without whom the event wouldn't happen. I look forward to seeing you and your cars next year, and more besides.
See you next year!

How is it that Car of the Show scored less points than another by some margin. Does not the car with the most points get the top award?
