Triumph Sports Six Club Northants Area

Our camp site is ready for our members and guests to arrive.

June was a big month for our area with our 4^th camping weekend. On Friday morning we arrived at Emberton Park to set the site up in preparation for the weekend. After last year we were hoping for good weather. The forecast didn’t look good but the ground was dry and the sun was out so we set up the marquee and crossed our fingers The field looked very large and empty as we sat down for a cup of tea and a sandwich.

Friday afternoon and  people are setting up their tents and caravans ready for the weekend ahead.

Before long people started to arrive and I started to wonder whether the field was too small and if there would be enough room. In the evening we had a welcome get together and it was clear that we were in for a good weekend.

The Triumph display area starts to fill up.

We arrive at Milton Keynes Museum.

Saturday morning I tentatively peered out of our tent to see blue sky and sunshine, a real relief. After breakfast all the Triumphs lined up for a convoy to Milton Keynes Museum. John lead a scenic route into the museum grounds and to our designated parking area just outside the manor house. The museum had an amazing and eclectic display of exhibits gathered from all around the area, from farming equipment to a telephone exchange room. We all delighted in calling each other up with telephones from the very earliest models to the most advanced. Our thanks to the staff of the MK museum for a good afternoon.

It's for yoo hoo!

The telephone exchange room was fascinating and fun too.

Back to the camp site for a slap up BBQ

(Adam is the "camp" chef this year)

Saturday night was BBQ night. Everybody was up for a good night and Nigel and I slaved over the BBQs (Thanks Nigel) even a small shower didn’t dampen our spirits. We drew the raffle. As everybody was so generous in donating great prizes it seemed to go on forever but it meant that almost everybody had a prize. Good times. Except me. Bad times.

Partying late into  the night.

Garth and Ellie win the Quiz

Tony Wins The Peoples choice

with his Spitfire 1500

Sunday was a chill out day or more commonly known as hangover day. We spent the morning voting on the Peoples Choice. We were delighted to see Jonathan, Elaine, Grace and there new daughter/sister Olivia who made a special trip to see us all. It was soon time for the presentations. Garth and Ellie won the quiz, Tony won the Peoples choice with his Spitfire 1500 and the children did so well with their matchbox challenge that they all won a prize. Before long the field was empty again and it was all over. The sun kept shining and everybody seemed to have enjoyed themselves. Our sincere thanks to everybody who came along and also all those that helped to make the weekend a great success.
