An informal gathering will occur (weather permitting) for the Charlotte Region TCOC to Drive your Triumph to celebrate Sir John Black’s birthday (see TT newsletter for details). I am driving my TR6 and taking a photo to send in to Rye Livingston for this global event. If you care to join me for the photo and/or lunch around 1:00pm on Sunday, February 10, please do. Just a fun to do in your Triumph as the weather will be mild. Just a gentle reminder.

Gentle reminder for Saturday Meeting of TCOC Charlotte at Muddy River Distillery. Lunch notice to follow

Please join us for a tour of Muddy River Distillery in Belmont as our February TCOC Charlotte Meeting. Arrive a little early so we can start the tour at 11:30am.

Normal $8.00 per person tasting & tour fee is WAIVED for this event. You may know the first rum distillery in NC is owned by the son of member Jerry Delaney and daughter of member Peter Bernet. There is a newly released 4 year aged rum that we will be able to sample. After the tour, liquor and merchandise may be purchased.

At 1:00pm we will drive a few blocks to have lunch at Rivermen Brewery Company in Belmont, NC. Join us for tour and lunch or whatever fits in your schedule.

After our Muddy River Distillery Tour, please join us for lunch at Rivermen Brewing Company, just around the bend in Belmont. RSVP’s are welcome. I just confirmed our party of 20-40, but will reconfirm when we are at Muddy River.

Join us for a Tech Session at EVR Restorations in Denver, NC on March 30 beginning at 9:30 a.m. with coffee and donuts provided by EVR. Seth Lehman, owner of EVR, has agreed to host TCOC at his shop to get our cars up on the lift for an inspection to determine work that may need doing prior to The Gathering. A brief demonstration of lubricating and fluid topping will be included. All regions are invited, of course.

Session will be followed by a drive to Blowing Rock for lunch on a separate invitation, in case you are only able to join us for one event, weather permitting.

Following the Tech Session at EVR in Denver, NC, a group of us will depart via US 321 to Blowing Rock for lunch at The Ridgeline (formerly Canyons) arriving around 1:00pm. Several of us make take a more scenic circuitous route back via the Blue Ridge Parkway. Weather Permitting, naturally.

Please ensure you are gassed up prior to the Tech Session at EVR, so that we can get on the road in a timely manner.

Join fellow car enthusiasts for a day of classic vehicles at the EVR shop.   All makes and models welcome.
