Friday, 28	Spring Fling 2010, May 28th-30th, Stratford, Ontario	4:00 pm
Driving Season Launch Party. Annual Spring Fling hosted this year by the MGCCT. Each year the Toronto Triumph Club and the MG Car Club of Toronto alternate hosting the Annual Spring Fling event. This has become a tradition in both clubs and one of the first driving events of the season where we get to share our love of LBC’s, our friendly rivalry with the ‘other marque’ and rekindle the spirit of camaraderie with our local Toronto LBC enthusiasts. This year, MGCCT decided to invade the Stratford region of Southern Ontario. We will commence on Friday night at the Festival Inn. Saturday we will tour east, then north of Stratford to Millbank, spending an hour in the cheese factory, the Amish furniture store and Anna Mae’s bakery. Make sure you collect your Poker Run cards as you go. Our tour will continue through rolling countryside south to St. Mary’s where we will have lunch and car show at Milt Dunnell Park. You will purchase a lunch of your choosing from one of the restaurants close to the park. Saturday afternoon you are free to hang around St. Mary’s, visit The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame or return to Stratford to shop picking up your last Poker Card from Klomps Nursery [stop and have a look around – they have some amazing things in there]. While not officially part of Spring Fling, some interested parties may want to also add a Thursday night stay-over so that you can tour the Stratford Costume Warehouse on Friday morning and take in a 2PM Matinee Performance of Evita [actually opening on May 28 so book early] or Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris. Our organized activities will be completed at the buffet banquet on Saturday night at the Festival Inn. On Sunday you might want to take in the car show being sponsored by the Stratford Optimist Club or you might go to a matinee show in Stratford or shop before you return home. Hotel and Registration information to follow.

Friday, 25	"Round the Lake Drive" June 25th-27th, 2010	9:00 am
Round the Lake Trip June 25/26/27 2010 In 2007 the Toronto Triumph Club was 25 years old, and in celebration of that, Robin and Ria Searle organized The 25th anniversary Round the Lake trip. This was one of the best events ever and we are going to organize it again for June 25/26/27 2010. Robin with Ria and Clive Huizinga are the organizers. The trip started at 8am in Bowmanville on Friday 25th June. Many people stayed the Thursday night in a hotel in Bowmanville. We then travelled to Picton, and had lunch at Lake on the Mountain. Then on to the Glenora ferry, and on to Kingston, followed by the Wolfe Island Ferry and the Cape Vincent ferry (3 ferries in one day) to the Clayton antique boat museum. You will need passports to get into the USA at Cape Vincent. We know from experience you will be turned back if you do not have the right documentation!! Then on to Henderson harbor for a great barbeque, with local British cars joining us and a restful night. On Saturday we proceeded to Sodus Bay for lunch, and on to Canadaigua in the Finger Lakes. A dinner cruise was then held on the lake. On Sunday we travel to Olcott for lunch and then back into Canada at Lewiston with the trip officially ending in Niagara on the Lake. So wherever you live you will have gone around Lake Ontario. It was a superb trip, with great roads and scenery, and in the company of fellow Toronto Triumph club members. The total trip was 470 miles. The trip is very well documented and as with last time you will be able to stop or make detours and catch up with the main group later. Last time we were 24 cars, and we need to have an indication of who would want to go on this trip this time. Registration forms and more details will be available on the Toronto Triumph website as soon as we have the costs identified. We will be limited on the number of people that can take part because of the capacity of the ferries. In the meantime if you have any questions, suggestions or queries please email clivehuizinga@yahoo.com. We need to know figures for those who are really interested, so that initial arrangements can be made. So please Email that you would like to be on the trip. Look forward to seeing you there.

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.

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. Please see the link for further information on this great event! Primary contact for this event will be Robert Polutnik. Robert can be reached via email at rpolutnik@technolutionsci.com
