TR7/8 do we need a seperate register for them

Posted By : Hugh Glossop, 10-Mar-2007, 08:07am

Its becone increasingly evident that our present Tr register man (TLD) has absolutly no intrest in the Tr7/8, with the increasing number of TR7/8's in the club is it not time to split them out and appoint a new registrar for these cars, as the people i know with them (myself included) will not feel left out in the cold.

Since the Register Secretaries are purely voluntary posts, and "one volunteer is worth ten pressed men" why don't you offer your services (or volunteer someone else if you think they have more expertise to impart) to the club secretary formally?
If you do so quickly it might still be possible for this to be discussed at the AGM.

  Is there not already a Register Secretary in post who's remit iis supposed to nclude the TR7/8? If so surely another volunteer would be a duplication of an exisitng position. As a wedge owner it would be nice to read more about the TR7/8 in the club magazine.
  
  Maybe Hugh is right and a separate register would be the way forward. I realise that this would require a willing volunteer and under the circumstances it is the least I can do to recommend Hugh who I think would do a great job!

      I too am of the same opinion and would welcome Hughs involvement as the coverage given to TR7 / 8's is extremely limited at present.
      
      Regardless of peoples views regarding 'the wedge' and the comparisons with other models, it is still a Triumph with a large number of examples out and about on our roads.
      
      Good luck Hugh, you have my support.

        If that contraption called the Acclaim gets a section in the courier then surely the TR7's & 8's more than deserve a mention!!! At least its a Triumph & not a Honda!!!

        Hugh, what have you gone and done? If I was wearing a hat I'd raise it to you.

        As a TR7 owner, I think a seperate register would be great. It's good to see a volunteer, thanks Hugh.

        Great idea for a TR7 / 8 register, I've stuck a couple of pics of my wedge in my Stag write ups, but don't seem to have the space for more!
        
        I am attempting a TR7 / 8 conversion (on the cheap!) so there is one letter for you when I have finished!
