' The Gathering'

The BBC Northern Ireland TV Programme 'Country Times' is a local production that looks at peoples past times and hobbies.

The folks of the TSSC gathered one cold Sunday morning in March, having being summoned by the BBC and our Area Organiser (Colin), whom the programme would be focusing on. Filming lasted all day and for some, the following Tuesday aswell - to film some more linking shots.

The programme was shown a couple of weeks later at the start of April, with GT6's and Spitfire's in all their glory. If people don't want to buy a Triumph now, then they can't have a passion for cars at all ! No doubt all TSSC members taped the programme so just ask one of them to show you it.
