It would be great to have some Tigers join us at The Rest & Be Thankful on the 29th September, the entry list is now open.
Hope to see some Scottish & Northern STOC members for what promises to be a special day out and a nice end to the season before the bad weather sets in.

Regards

Bill

We are still accepting late entries for The Rest & Be Thankful event up until Thursday 26th September.
It's going to be a great day out and perhaps the last chance to use your Tiger this season.

Hi Bill,
Not much in way of replies here but could you post some pictures of the event. I would love to get involved in a Southern event but I reckon £700 in fuel alone puts a bit of a dampner on a northern trip.

Here is a link to some photos from this event, quite a few featuring Tigers and the weather looks superb.

Looks a great meet, and splendid location

BigBob, are we going next year

Would a modified Tiger with Shelby stripes fit in??
If you can guarantee same sunny weather it looks stunning. Next year is looking a little busy for Tiger trips though. Is Scotland near Croydon? Must put it on the to do list.

Great to have three Tigers with us on Sunday, which were all beautifully presented.
The weather was fantastic and the new/old "Rest" was at it's magnificent best.
This will now be an annual event, with Sunday 24th of August 2014 being the date for the next edition. This is a bank holiday weekend, so hopefully we will get more STOC members from the south participating
