Needless to say, none of us went and checked it out. Since we had a sparse group and a late start, we only have a few, but important things to share with GTA members: 5 Volume 37, Issue 09 September 2021 2021 Atlanta British Motorcar Day - 9/4/2021: As you all know, the 2021 Atlanta British Motorcar Day is fast approaching! Link to the show website is https://atlantabritishmotorcarday.org/. We need GTA members to register ASAP! Date is Sept. 4th - the link to register is https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ atlanta-british-motorcar-day-tickets-160058147227. If you'd like to register more than one car, there is a discount, see link. Registration includes the cost to register your car, however, entry into the Tellus Science Museum is separate. I went there on a field trip with my son's 3rd or 4th grade class, and it was well worth it, if you'd like to make a full day of it! The show hours are from 10am - 2pm. Cool off afterwards by visiting the Tellus Science Museum, you won't be disappointed! The GA Triumph Association will bring food, tents, etc and there will be trophies (per class) - we will setup the tents, and we'll be selling off all current GTA swag - at a discount!!! Did I already say that if you plan on coming you need to register ASAP! Yes this will be a fun year at a new temporary venue as this year, it is being held at the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville. Abe Cheije shared that this is a temporary location, because next year the Atlanta British Motorcar Day will be moving to it's new and "permanent" location, The Savoy Car Museum, which is being built in Cartersville. This will be a fantastic venue for 2022, and a great place to visit and tour! I did some research on the new locale for next year...The Savoy Car Museum is was designed by INOX Design. If you would like to see the amazing and innovative designs, go to https://www.inox-design.com/projects/museums-exhibits/ The museum campus will feature a variety of automobiles. The 65,961 square feet space includes a café/dining room, and a car theater. The park grounds are designed to support automotive events (such as Atlanta British Motorcar Day), and competitions. The museum website is https:// savoymuseum.org/, and they have a Facebook page too if you'd like to visit: https:// www.facebook.com/savoyautomuseum/. I must say it looks pretty amazing! And they are excited to host events like this - as they say on a post "We can't wait to see cool cars like 6 Volume 37, Issue 09 September 2021 these on the museum grounds" accompanied by a black & white photo of some very cool cars from the Mid50s! The Savoy Car Museum is tentatively scheduled to open Fall 2021. 2021 Atlanta British Car Fayre - 9/11/2021: If you can handle two car shows back-to-back, the following weekend, on September 11th, register your car for the 2021 Atlanta British Car Fayre! Or just come for fun and have a good day driving your Triumph to Historic Old Norcross, where it is held annually. With lots to see and do, this year's Atlanta British Car Fayre will be no different! Always a great place to be, with lots of food options and a good turnout. The website for the show is https://www.atlantabritishcarfayre.com/home-1.html, and the link to register is https:// fs2.formsite.com/r44cVX/dg1zrbq7rv/index.html (Note: payment is done thru PayPal or your PayPal account). Hopefully both these shows are blessed with good weather, good attendance - not too hot, and hopefully the afternoon summer thunderstorms will stay away until it's over! 2021 Christmas Party: This year's Christmas party is once again being generously hosted by GTA members Abe and Susan Cheije! Susan shared that it takes several days to setup all the decorations, but we'll all be looking forward to it - should be fun!!! I think by then, we'll all be ready to share in some GTA Christmas spirit!!! More details to follow in the coming months. -------------------------------------------------------- So that's' it folks!
