Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Firstly, we should introduce the team… and the most important member Sid… a 1978 Triumph 2500S Mk2 Estate. Over the last few years, Sid has been fully recommissioned after 20 odd years of slumber, now being used as a daily drive. Then we come to Sid’s owner, Charlie who’s main hobby seems to be trying to break Sid, Ellis who ends up helping to fix Sid, and Matt who spends most of the time asking if we’re nearly there yet and the rest of the time either drinking or asleep.

The Club Triumph Round Britain Reliability Run is a charity based event we have all taken part in before… tasking entrants to follow a suggested route of approx. 2000 miles via allocated checkpoints in 48 hours with no overnight stops, starting in North London on Friday evening and returning Sunday evening via John O’Groats, Wales and Land’s End.

We hope to raise a lot of money for this year’s nominated charity (Guide Dogs), so if you can spare a small amount, we’d appreciate the help towards our target… we will obviously accept large donations as well (thank you!) – Between us we own a multitude of classic cars that drop varying amounts of oil, by donating, you will ensure your driveway will not be inflicted with these (unless invited).

All costs associated with the run (entry, fuel for vehicle and drivers etc) will be covered by the team, so you are assured any funds donated will go to the charity via JustGiving.

Thanks for your support.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

The ability to get around is vital in order to live a full life yet thousands of people with sight loss never leave home alone. We empower visually impaired people to do that and rely on the support of the public to fund the guide dog service.
