TR Lincs November 2022 Newsletter

Here we are well and truly in to the off season for our TRs and looking forward to Christmas and what goodies we may get from Santa and maybe even some TR related bits and pieces.  You can never have too many bits!  It is at this time of year we start to plan the events for 2023 and we have some already in the pipeline for our group, more on those later.  

As you know I attended a Group Leaders meeting earlier this month to discuss the future strategy for the wider TR Register and seeking to make it relfect the needs and wants of TR enthusiasts and owners in 2023 and beyond.  You will have read about the work being undertaken by the Strategy Group formed to take the debate forward in the latest issue of TR Action.  You can assist in some of their work by completing the survey to Shape Future Events for the TR Register.  I'm sure many of you will have already filled it out as the closing date is the 30th.  If not then you can access it by clicking HERE.  Please take the few minutes needed as then you can help inform the Register of your views and assist in the formulation of future formats.

We have one event to finish off the year and you can read about that below.  As always I need your help in pulling together the TR Lincs 2023 local programme of events and run.  A big thank you to the few of you who have already volunteered to arrange a run next year but we need more.  If you want to have a go at arranging one then please let me know as soon as you can so that I can complete the 2023 events calendar.

Looking forward to seeing some of you at the Splash next month.

Cheers

Adrian 

Group Leader

November TR Lincs Events Review

TR Lincs Lunchtime Meet  - November 12th.

Saturday 12th November saw 19 TR Lincs members enjoy a lunchtime get together at the Adam and Eve, Wragby.  As always we were made to feel very welcome there and the chance to catch up with everybody was welcomed.  We did have two open top cars attend. Jane and Laurence Gray turned up in their rather grand Mazda MX5 but the price has to go to Chris and Oenone Stoodley for turning up in their very nice TR2 - well done both.

Advanced Notice - next two months. Full details in our events calendar.

December 15th - TR Lincs Luncheon, Royal Oak, Cawthorpe

Finally....
Driving around at this time of year you do see some less than ideal behaviour from some drivers, but as the short film below shows, not a lot has improved over the last 60 odd years! Click HERE to view!
