Dave, I don't even have a Triumph club in my area! Here's a couple of suggestions that might help.
1. Make it a requirement that each VTR associated club host a convention on a rotating basis. This is how the northwest clubs (Annual All Triumph Drive-In) and the Southwestern clubs (Triumphest) do it. 2. Make allowances for the things to be combined with existing events so that the clubs are not overly burdened with having to do two major events within a few years.

That in itself sounds slanted toward the East. < If the preponderance of the folks willing to step up and put in the extreme amount of work to host a VTR are to the east of the Rockies then a preponderance of the VTR's are going to be held east of the Rockies. This is not a VTR policy. This is the result of the willingness of individuals and groups to DO THE WORK. Remember 2003? VTR was held at TRF. This is because Charles stepped up when nobody else would. The "slant" is a result of population densities and the fact that the So Cal group host's its own Triumphfest (which, by the way, when are you going to hold one of those more convenient to the rest of us?) which diminishes the need/desire for folks in the SW to host a VTR. The best way to have a VTR held in your area is to host one. Dave *** http://www.team.net/the-local *** Your messages not reaching the list?
