President’s Report – February 2021
PRESIDENT’S REPORT – FEBRUARY 2021
This will be a relatively short report as I am still in Melbourne with my family. Now that SA is opening the border to Greater Melbourne, we will be returning home on 7 or 8 March, hopefully, after 2 more family gatherings.
Well, apart from what we must do to remain Covid Safe, it feels like we are close to being back to normal activities. Monthly meetings are occurring, supper and cars on stage have resumed, our social calendar is well in hand and a healthy racing program is in evidence. The National Meeting Committee has also been busy and has a fully subscribed list of delegates who can’t wait to get to the Barossa Valley in late October 2021. Details should be reported elsewhere in this edition of FastTRak.
My thanks to Vice President Ian Rigby for running the February meeting in my absence. In addition to supper, members were treated to a
- a quiz by Kaye Placing (thanks a million!) and
- a presentation of Matthew Taylor’s TR7 with Sprint Engine.
An upcoming and exciting innovation is the transfer of our Day of Triumph (Concours and Show and Shine) to Sunday, 21 March 2021 from its normally later date in the year. As Council approvals have only just come through, we have been unable to give club members greater notice. Further details are provided in this FastTRak and members will be reminded again before the event. So start polishing and let’s see if we can significantly boost the numbers the Club has had on display in recent years. This is a great opportunity to compare your car with others and get some pointers as to what improvements you might make to your beloved Triumph. Summer is rapidly running out (if we ever had one this year!), so use it as an excuse to get another day out with your Triumph.
And don’t forget the Observation Run and of course our traditional Weekender which are not far away. Details and dates are included in the Social Calendar.
In early January I sent an email, entitled “Your Club”, to a number of members seeking to personally encourage greater involvement in club activities, rather than just enjoying the benefits of historic registration. In addition to the initial responses received, a further response elicited a rather nice TR8 that I thought was worthy of including here.
.
I look forward to seeing you again in March.
Kind regards,
Peter Davidge (President)
