The day after the night before!
The barbeque went very well last night and we have had no reports this morning of dickie stomachs, or serious hangovers, so that can't be bad! We had an excellent spread of Triumphs in the car park with most if not all models represented sometimes many times over. We also had a good spread of Triumph club's represented, with official representation from Club Triumph (Tim Bancroft), and the 2000/2.5 Register (Alan Chatterton), also we had many members from the TSSC,and some from the TR Register.
The only problem that happened early on in the night was that a couple of cars parked blocking the entry to the overflow car park that had been set aside specially for us. It's a pity because last night was the grand opening of the car park extension and the main reason for our celebration (we have been waiting over a year for this!)
This meant that many cars had to again park on the street, apologies for this, it won't happen again, Dave the landlord will be painting some instructions on the car park for next time!
Anyway back to the food, in recognition of our visiting Australian guests, Adam (our tame barbie guru) had tossed a few shrimps on the barbie, hmm, they were very nice, we shall be having those again. One of our staff (mentioning no names, Daz!) was seen to visit the barbie at least six times and come away with a plate full, thanks for that info Karl. The only food left over at the end of the evening was some baked potatoes, a couple of chicken drum legs and some salad. That's not bad considering that we started with 50 burgers, 50 bangers, 50 bits of chicken, a bag of spuds, a table full of salad and stuff, and the shrimps which didn't last very long at all! You were hungry weren't you!
Several conversations were earwigged as I did the rounds, but I think the most popular subject was this years RBRR, there seems to be a real buzz about this years event. We had several of this years entrants in attendance including the event organiser Tim Bancroft who had ventured up from darn sarth in his GT6, many thanks Tim.
Someone counted at one point 29 Triumphs in attendance, but this did not include the cars that left early on (school night, got to get those kids in bed), and the cars that turned up later on, so we probably had 50 odd Triumphs in the course of the night, plus all of those who turned up in non Triumphs, not bad! We shall do it again, if we can get Adam to do the cooking again, poor boy had a very delicate operation the day before but still managed to soldier on, can you sit down comfortably yet Adam?
Finally thanks go to Dave & Pat the landlords of the Weavers for putting up with us, Adam and family for services rendered on the barbie front, and for all of those who attended.
