Thunderbird Times

Newsletter of the Mighty South London Triumph Owners Motorcycle Club

Hello everybody. Winter is nearly coming to an end and with the days slowly getting longer the biking season doesn’t seem to be that far away anymore. Alexandra Palace was a good opportunity to stock up on gear and I understand that many of you have done so ;-). Even I got a little daring the other day and booked the homecoming-ferry for my Thunderbird for Good Friday (let us hope for reasonable weather). However, as you are all aware the AGM is coming up soon: 15^th Feb. 2005, start 8.30pm Although this year the Club Award Ceremony is going to be at our annual Bike Show rather than at the AGM there are other topics to be agreed upon and there should also be a copy of this year’s Events List ready for collection. So, please make an effort to attend. Committee: As you may have already heard, Mac is resigning from his position as Chairman of the Club. A big THANK YOU! to him for his many years of loyal service to the Club. I understand that Mog has been suggested as future Chairman and Brian Peters as future Runs Leader. Furthermore it has been proposed that the positions for Show Secretary and Social Secretary should be merged and John Flowers has been suggested to take on the new function. And last but not least the Regalia position needs to be filled, and Robin is running as a candidate. As mentioned above, these are the candidates as of today. Should you have further suggestions or would like to run as candidate yourself, please let any member of the current Committee know as soon as possible. Should you have any other matters that you would like to be brought forward at the AGM, please also let a member of the current Committee know as soon as possible.
