Seven Kennet Valley TR Group members exercised their TR's on the May mid monthly to the living Weald & Downland Museum, Singleton, West Sussex starting out from Nelson's Diner after a heart breakfast, a pleasant route through Hampshire and West Sussex countryside to the museum where there was a reserved parking area set out for us, then a tour of this very interesting site of how we used to live and a picnic for lunch before heading back dodging the showers. Thanks to Mark Seymour for the majority of the pictures.

The TR Register stand was well attended at the 25th Basingstoke Festival of Transport, 17 TR's and 3 Triumph Stag's amply demonstrated these great sports cars.

Another great Drive it Day stretching the legs of our TR's after Winter, looking forward to our next event and see you there.

Well it was that time of year for our annual competition versus Glavon TR's, we tried and had not been successful at 10 pin bowling and skittles so we thought this year we'd try golf. So we mustered at The Golfing Hole Swindon which is an indoor 'crazy' golf centre, 14 Glavon and 20 KVG picked up their 'bats' and ball and attempted this frustrating up to date version of this traditional seaside game, after several counts, mis-counts, adjustments the final score was calculated, and yes you guessed it, Glavon won with an average of 58.57 versus 62.65, so it's back to the drawing board for KVG, maybe Tiddly Winks will work. Best score was young Alf (10) Glavon with a very commendable round of 48 and best endeavour was Linda Field (older than 10) KVG with a round of 82.

Seven KVG members visited Brooklands Classic Breakfast for the February Mid Monthly meeting.
