[list.british-cars] 1990 VTR Convention

Larry Gillam <gillam@hpfcpq.hp.com> (02/07/90)

        I'm a member of the Rocky Mountain Triumph Club(Denver)and I just
        received the "official" VTR National Convention information, so I 
        thought I'd pass it onto you. If anybody has any questions, I'll 
        try to get the information for you. I don't attend many meetings 
        in the winter as it's a couple hours drive there and back.

        Here goes....

        When: August 1-5, 1990

        Where: Boulder Colorado(~30 Miles Northwest of Denver)

        Dear Triumph Enthusiast:

        The Rocky Mountain Club(RMTC) cordially invites all Triumph Owners 
        and enthusiasts, their guests and their families to join us for the 
        1990 Vintage Triumph Register's Annual Convention. RMTC is proud to 
        be hosting this event and is proud of Colorado and all it has to offer.
        
        Boulder is located 30 Miles Northwest of Denver, at an altitude of 
        5,430 feet. Boulder, in August, has a countless number of warm, sunny
        days and cool, clear nights. Boulder is the home of the University
        of Colorado and stands at the gateway to the Rockies. The area offers
        scenic beauty, recreational activities, and plenty of early western
        history. 

        The Rocky Mountain Triumph Club encourages all Triumph enthusiasts
        to seriously consider planning your family vacation around the 1990
        VTR Convention. The convention itself will be prepared to accommodate
        every family member's needs and we have taken numerous steps to assist
        you with extending your trip to the Rocky Mountain Region, such as
        special airline rates, accommodations throughout the area, rental
        cars, sightseeing trips, etc.

        As for the VTR Convention itself, we of RMTC are dedicated to making
        it the best ever with plenty of car events during the day and four
        fun-packed evenings. Plan to register early as the first 250 registrants        will receive a deluxe welcoming package.

        As a special incentive for attending the 1990 VTR Convention, each
        registrant will receive a chance to win an all expense paid trip
        for two to England, compliments of Continental Airlines. This
        drawing will be held at the awards banquet and only registrants will 
        be eligible, no other tickets will be sold for this special drawing.

        Register early, plan your vacation and come to the Rockies in 1990
        for the greatest VTR Convention ever. Early registrants(before June
        1st) will receive an extra chance for the trip for two to England.
