| Sunday, 19 | 27th Annual TTC British Car Day Sunday Sept 19th | 9:00 am | British Car Day is hosted by the Toronto Triumph Club, annually on the third Sunday of September. Since its inaugural event in 1984, it has grown in leaps and bounds, and now draws around 1000 British cars, with room to grow even bigger. The event is the premier all-British car event in North America, with visitors from throughout the northeast United States, the Maritime provinces, Quebec, and Manitoba. We have even had visitors from Alberta, Texas, the U.K., and New Zealand.
The venue for British Car Day is Bronte Creek Provincial Park, about 20 miles west of downtown Toronto, conveniently located at the Burloak Drive exit of the Queen Elizabeth Way. The south entrance is for non-British cars, while the north entrance is reserved for British car exhibitors.
Every year one of the most popular destinations of the park is the Vendors' area. Annually, over 50 British-related vendors offer their new and used goods for sale, including car parts, whole cars, t-shirts, hats, tools, books, supplies, and on and on. Many vendors offer end-of-season specials so there are lots of bargains. |
OCTOBER 2010 |
| Date | Event | Time |
| Saturday, 2 | British Sportscar Leaf Peeping Rally Oct 2-3rd, 2010 | 9:00 am | The Purpose of the Rally
This rally began as a desire to augment the current event schedule with something that provided many hours of pure driving pleasure for the driver and replace the hours of sitting at a show with hours of pure shopping and sightseeing pleasure for our passengers.
The inaugural event was held in 2009 with only two Triumph TR6's and with four people in attendance, but despite the small numbers the rally proved to be everything all of us could hope for, it made everyone happy and yes, the original four are going again!
Besides, what better way to enjoy the beauty that an Ontario autumn has to offer, than by going 'Leaf Peeping' in a British Sports Car.

| Saturday, 16 | Lennox and Addington County Tour, Saturday October 16th-Sunday October 17th | 12:00 pm | I am delighted to invite you and the members of the Toronto Triumph Club to the first Driving Tour of Lennox & Addington, an event we hope will be a highlight in your club’s 2010 calendar.
As discussed, the County of Lennox & Addington will host club members on Saturday, October 16, and Sunday, October 17. We suggest members arrive in Napanee on Saturday afternoon in time to do a little touring on their own before joining us at a wine-and-cheese reception hosted by Lennox & Addington County. You will have the opportunity to sample locally produced cheeses and wines from two area wineries that will be on the next day’s drive route. Dinner is at your leisure; a number of restaurants are nearby.
A discounted rate for Toronto Triumph Club members of $109 (excluding applicable taxes) has been arranged at the Hampton Inn in Napanee.
Sunday’s drive will take in a fascinating range of geography and scenery, from the rugged Canadian shield country in the north, to pastoral farmland, timeless villages and the beauty of the early Loyalist settlements along the shores of the Bay of Quinte. The route will be designed to provide both interesting driving and ample time for stops, covering a couple of hundred kilometres of scenic Ontario you may have never seen before. Simple route instructions will be provided, and volunteers will be available to assist at key stops along the way.
To register for the event, members should RSVP to Susan MacDonald at 613.966.4969 or susan.e.macdonald@bellnet.ca . Susan will be happy to answer any questions members may have, and she will send more details about the event to attendees prior to the weekend. We would hope to have all confirmations by Friday, October 1.
We look forward to meeting club members, and to showcasing our region in a fun weekend we know you will enjoy.
Sincerely,
|
