WFTR Committee
Committee Meeting Minutes
The lovely committee members.
Group Leader
Owner of a genuine UK specification TR8 and a genuine TR7 Sprint, James took over as Group Leader in December 2025 having been an active member of WFTR for many years. A Quantity Surveyor by profession, James has not yet retired (why not?) and works in the industrial sector, with a client who has dragged him around the world to help construct, fit out and upgrade warehouses and what goes inside them. Any form of transport and anything with an engine is of interest to James, although he would not profess to have any technical expertise himself.
Treasurer
Darren has owned a TR6 since 2015, after wanting one since his teens. Owning Triumph cars is certainly in his blood, his father had a Herald and Dolomite and his Uncle has a Vitesse and a TR3. Darren is a Financial & Commercial Director for an Engineering Consultancy, so taking on the Treasurer role is in keeping with the day job. When he’s not fiddling with his TR6 he’s treading the boards with his local drama group and recently played Lord Flashheart in a production of Blackadder.
Membership Secretary
Dave has been a member of WFTR for just over 10 years and is acting as Membership Secretary for the 2nd time. He has two TR’s, a 4 which is a Regularity rally car, which he mainly competes with in Europe. Recently he acquired a 6 as a touring car and had power steering installed to help his wife, Jan, drive it. His other great love is sailing and after retiring from running his own business 25 years ago, spent many years living on his yacht in the Mediterranean. He really wanted to get back into classic car rallying so decided to sell the boat. He is now looking forward to helping his fellow committee members as much as possible in the coming years.
