I managed to get there this morning with the hood down all the way - didn't get wet until the traffic lights in the Town Centre - shame about the rain, but it was good to see the cars that were there. Had to leave at 12.30 to get home for family reasons - got more wet driving home from a leak in the front hood seal! Still the car ran well and the bacon sarnie was nice!

Well I turned up (early)!, and I had a pretty good time, although I agree that it appeared many people were put off by a poor weather forecast - shame, but I guess that's what you get with outdoor events. Hopefully the event will continue next year, and if we're lucky the british weather might even hold out.

I think that the event this year was jinxed - bad choice of date - it coincided with the Ten Tors event, so was guaranteed to get lots of rain
Lets hope for better weather next year.-

Well I picked the right day (Saturday) with only a couple of light showers. Great to meet up with everyone, tho again i'm sure the weather put a few off. Even got the roof down on the way home!

Well done to the organisers and everyone who turned up in the crap weather. We were there Saturday and Sunday and camped Saturday night. Although the weather done its best to sod it up we still had a great weekend. Will be back next year.-

Cheers to all involved for organising the SEM. Like Neil I also turned up pretty early on Saturday and had an enjoyable (if not slightly damp) day. Shame I didn't quite manage to get my Spit into full fitness for the 80-odd mile round trip but will definitely work on this for next year! Hope the weather's kinder then!-

Hmmm, I'm thinking of editing one of the photas above to add in my Spitfire - do you think anyone would believe that it got there?

Yes
well done Guy and Suzie and all concerned.
I know how much time and effort it takes to run a show like this
The weather did brigthen for about 2 minutes on Sunday and when you get an Herald from Germany and a Sprint from Luxemberg then something is right.
The weather was bad on the way back many accidents on the way home so hope everyone got home safe and next year I'm sure it will be a real scorcher..-

I posted this on the club triumph forum yesterday and there has been a lot of interest in particular regarding Adm Chignall's dancing technique!!!

Unfortunately the weather did let us down again but we were very glad to see so many hardy Triumphanatics did come out to play and mostly it appears, did have a good weekend.
We think the answer for next year is that if we leave the suntan lotion behind and everyone packs brollies and wellies then we should be guaranteed sunshine!
Just a couple of notes from the weekend. Can anyone identify the owner of the TR (BHJ 274F) who came runner up in the judging as they left before prize-giving and we'd like to be able to send the trophy on to them.
Also, a pair of specs was handed in to Control on Sunday afternoon which weren't claimed. Please contact us if anyone know who they belong to so that we can return them to their owner.
Thanks
Guy & Suzie

Aye, was a good weekend, if a little damp and sparse at times (nice photo above, in one of the sunny spells - that's my black&white brolly stuck into the ground next to my royal blue 1200!), just made all of us who aren't blessed with soft tops a little less jealous than we would have been in a heatwave that's all.
Cheers to Adam for the trunion oiling (and advice on the wheel bearings!), much appreciated.
It was the start of a long week for my car, managed to cover 500 miles in total, all over the place including a trip to Minehead and back from Guildford, did very well - only issue was discovering what a horrible noise a fan belt makes when it starts slipping...
