Thanks Corky, What about the other chapters of the TOMCC? I am even though I have one of the latest Triumphs interested in classic meeting on the North Island and the closer to home the better, I also have not joined a club yet. Any recommendations welcome.

Hi Bushybester.

The TOMCC have active chapters throughout NZ and we have a very good Northland chapter you would like. Check out www.tomcc.co.nz for contact details etc of Area Coordinators. I actually do the website and I am also the National President of TOMCC so I need to chase up our Cordinators as most chapters have not yet sent me their 2009 events. I will get onto them at the next AGM which is held at the National Rally in February hosted by our Wellington Chapter. The first subscription fee is $35 for the Year and then $25 each Year after. We have very good events and for members travelling outside of their regions we have very good breakdown support and also members willing to offer lodgings to members during their trip away. Most Chapters also get very good discounts buying the Triumph supplies from local dealers. here in Christchurch Street and Sport offer 10% discounts to TOMCC members.
