Raider Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 ;) Hi - I have sent a short report to James Elliot of Classic and Sports Car magazine who was well pleased with it and promises to give us some coverage. I have also submitted the event for an award with them of Club Award for the BestClub Run/Rally of the Year!A general press release is under way which I intend will be going to the national and classic car press soon. This will also be available, I hope, for local Club Triumph areas to use in their local press and add on at the end where they meet.Along with other stuff from "snapshot" Graham and "NGK" Andy there should be quite a bit of publicity very soon. Oh, and Jason of Team Stretch managed to get us into the Daily Telegraph - see http://motoring.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/main.jhtml?xml=/motoring/2003/09/05/emnu06.xml 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greeks Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 I sent Tony Beadle a 4,000 word article yesterday, with lots of photos, speedos and all! He's said he'll pay REAL MONEY, too! Presumably it'll be in the next edition.Soon we'll be world famous! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted October 2, 2003 Author Share Posted October 2, 2003 ;D ;DBrilliant Graham!!I reckon we will be flooded with new members soon!Now, how many crews will the 2005 10CR have I wonder? Yeah, and will Tim have to turn away people on the RBR? ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8dean Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 Hey graham can i get a copy of your article? I'm working on the 10CR report web page as we speak and it would be interesting to see it all from someone elses point. Thanks Dean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted October 7, 2003 Author Share Posted October 7, 2003 ;) Just come off the phone from Classic Car Weekly and there should be an article on the 10CR on 17th or, possibly the following week. It will be based on the "official Club Triumph" press release + quotes from myself - pictures courtesy of the press release (Mark Irwing's) and Graham's.I have said that we will be running the event again in the years that the RBR doesn't run - ie RBR in 2004, 10CR in 2005. I have also said that information is available on the Club Triumph website (with a link to the superb Dean Martin site) and that there is a whole section on the 10CR on the new Club Triumph forum!I think I have done as much as possible to inform the classic car world that the event was great and given as much publicity as possible to Club Triumph. 8) 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted October 13, 2003 Author Share Posted October 13, 2003 ;D Just sent an e-mail to Classic and Sportscar clarifying who is who and where etc on some photos. We should be in their December edition with a small article and some photos - can't promise but the photos are of the Sloan's in Nice, Graham, Sam and Andy at the top of Col de la Bonnette and the group at Steenvoorde (Dean and I fetured!). 8) 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v8dean Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 i dont mind. Its all your work. But i would like to copy it onto the site sometime. I've experienced that the personal touch really keeps people glued to the site. Myself included. I drooled over Grahams article! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted October 19, 2003 Author Share Posted October 19, 2003 :) You are right about the personal touch.I feel the same about the 10CR as I do about the RBR - I am part of a club within a club and get to meet some great people who share the same experiences. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you check out page 147 you will find a decent report with photos of the Sloan TR4, Graham Reeks and co and also the famous stretch Herald.We also won the award so not bad at all. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeks Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Top banana!With publicity like this i reckon that Tim's going to have his work cut out for RBRR ;D There'll be 150 entries!Classic Car Weekly kindly sent me a back issue with the 10CR report in it. In fact it's a good way of getting free magazines so i might have to try it more often."Hallo is that Playboy? I sent a picture of my wife in last month but neglected to purchase a copy ... could you please send me one" :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 I never actually saw that issue Graham - any chance of a quick butchers?CCW of course ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeks Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Right ... if i remember to remind myself I'll bring it in and p/copy it and send it on. Otherwise you could try contacting the magazine. I e-mailed Matt Skelton and he sent it straight to me - i'm sure he'd do the same for you. E-mail me if you want his address. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
