2008 Day of Triumph
The Day of Triumph was held at the Bonython Park Reserve which provided all the necessary facilities with plenty of shade in a central location.
The attendance of 30 cars was down on last year and very disappointing particularly in the Concours section with only 8 entrants.
Carolyn Byrne’s Herald won the Masters Section.
The outright Concours winner was John Sampson in his TR6 with John Tuohy in his Saloon coming second, Harold Prince and Richard Sutherland tied for third place.
A special President’s trophy was awarded to Bob Cini for his efforts to attend the event (Bob was admitted to hospital with severe pneumonia on the day). The trophy winners of both categories are listed hereunder and all trophies will be presented at the Christmas Dinner on 13th December.
We can only run an event like this with a lot of help, and thanks must go to Bob Farrell and Lyle Taylor who co-ordinated the Concours and POO competitions and their judges. Thanks also to the Girl Guides and Margie Berlemon for providing the marquee and Bill Berlemon and his team for erecting and dismantling.
