Standard Triumph Marque Day at Prescott Sun 20th May 2012

[triumphdolomiteuk]

The Standard Triumph Forum is pleased to announce that the Standard Triumph Marque Day 2012 will be held on Sunday 20th May 2012 at the Prescott Hill Climb, Gotherington, Cheltenham, Glos. GL52 9RD.

The Triumph Forum is the umbrella organisation of more than 20 clubs catering for Standard and Triumph cars and their derivatives. The Forum meets twice a year to discuss issues of common interest.

Standard Triumph Marque Day is the annual gathering of clubs and provides the opportunity for members to show their cars and to promote their individual clubs. Previous Marque Days have been held at this venue and we are returning at popular request of the membership.

Prescott Hill is the home of the Bugatti Owners Club. It is situated on the Prescott Estate on the edge of the glorious Cotswolds, five miles from Cheltenham. The famous and historic hill climb hosts a number of competitive meetings each year, as well as club and corporate events.

The 2012 event will be organised once again, by the Stag Owners Club, the TR Register and the Triumph Sports Six Club. The organisers are planning a varied programme of activities which will span both Saturday 19th May as well as Marque Day on Sunday 20th May 2012. This will include a Cotswold Run and a social gathering on Saturday evening. On Sunday, it is hoped that all the clubs will have a club display to show prime examples of their cars and to promote their individual clubs. The hill will be fully marshalled and will open for participants to make non competitive, un-timed, hill climbs. This can be either a leisurely climb just to take in the views, or for those of a sporting nature, to attack the hill. The event will provide an opportunity to see the cars of the Marque on the move as well as in static displays in a superb Cotswold setting.
There will be camping and a BBQ - look for further details, entry fees and booking arrangements on club
sites and magazines early in the New Year or email shop@tr-register.co.uk to register your interest.

[YoungManGoneWest]

Is the site operating to motor sport rules tomorrow, i.e. is the dog allowed on site?
If no, I hope that all who are able to go have a great day.
If yes, I will endeavour to attend.

Oh boy, was that fun, Coventry branch go to Prescott!

I'm sure pics will follow, but between the 3 cars that went up the hill, we had 11 runs between us!

The pic is Nathan Billing leaving the start in Tom Overtons Sprint

Harrow contingent went too

Unexpected pleasure to meet up with Nathan, Bruce Mike et al.

Admittedly Julie and I were in disguise with our GT6 but we had a great day and managed a couple of runs ourselves.

It is always great to see such a fantastic display of almost every conceivable model of Triumph and I must say the Dolomite family acquitted themselves very well !

See y'all soon

Cheers
Jeff

A very enjoyable day, starting with a fun run down from Coventry.

Bruce was out on the hill early...



And here's Tom's Carmine Crusader




When Stewart had finished feeding us, he had his chance too



These chaps were parked just across the way

Still chuckling about this, over 24 hours later.

The following picture was pointed out to me by a friend at work, with the comment, "It had to be you!" Apparently lifted from a Blog
