The sun is out, the sky is blue and there are Triumphs on the roads
again. Whoopee it must be summer. Go on, you remember summer; that
one day a year when we feel it might be as warm as Spain and the weather
forecasters tell us we can get the barbecues out?
 
Anyway, the Triumphs are out again and we can all look forward to the
show season. Derwent Valley plans for the Peak Run are moving forward a
pace and we have a lot of people who have already booked. That doesn't
mean we don't have lots of spaces left and we look forward to seeing
both old and new friends. Booking Forms are on our website so please
download and get booked (says he who hasn't done it yet!)
 
Our monthly meeting this month on the 6th saw us hosting Mark, Jo and
Alistair from Jigsaw Racing along with ADU1B. A great night where we
raffled off a square on the virtual Spitfire, won by Roger Buck who’s
smile was a mile wide, and offered others the opportunity to buy for
themselves. I cannot stress enough how grateful we are to the Jigsaw
Team for coming along, a long drive up and back and they smiled all
night. Many, many thanks to them and I hope everyone in TSSC will
support them both for Le Mans and in all their efforts.
 
We also held an Easter Egg raffle which saw most people winning
chocolate of one sort or another, even if Richards throwing of Creme
Eggs was a little off target. All in all a great night and we saw lots
of smiling faces.
 
Once again I would like to emphasise that we want Derwent Valley members
to get their cars out to as many shows as possible this summer and Mike
Mayfield is doing his normal brilliant job of keeping us informed on
what’s on and where.
 
Next month, on the 4th May we are meeting a little early, at 7pm, to
head over to a Classic Car meet at The White Hart, Moorwood Moor nr
Wessington. Colin will be posting details on the website.
 
By the time you read this Drive-It Day will have been and gone. Derwent
Valley set off to the seaside so I hope to have a great day to report on.
 
Get your Triumph out and go enjoy the sunshine.
