======================================

Mornin’ Bloggers – first let me apologize for being late with the Friday blog – the reason!! I forgot to click “Publish” – until I got an email from Brett !!! err!! – Sorry!!

Well ! The answer to the quiz – was a young Arthur Lampkin on a 197cc James – looks like a 1954 model – Roger got that first then Brett.

Quiz today – Guess who? As you can see – a Scottish section.

Here is another shot of the section we posted in our quiz a few days back – not sure who the rider is – but you can see the big sign we had made up to sponsor the section. -we sold quite a lot of different stuff back then.

We used to be Sammy Miller’s Canadian Importer

====================================

The extremely high temperatures in the valley are cause for concern especially for us old folks, and of course our air conditioner decided to quit Friday.!!!! (Jeesh) – Fans going non-stop.

New fires are being reported all over so please be careful if you are out and about. – This is a shot of Pemberton BC.

===========================================

Here are the VMC “Boomer” Trial results – John “Boomer” Gronow was a great guy and long time member of the Victoria club – his Ozzie sense of humor was classic.

============================================

Yesterday we had a visit from a really nice family driving through from Saskatchewan – but turns out they are from Capetown South Africa. – Although time was limited, and it was really hot in the shop – we were able to supply all the Wulf and Beta stuff they needed, and chatted about the sport. – We hope to catch again with these folk – – ( Mum Dad and three boys) – maybe they will make it out to some of our events.. ( Not a lot of hills to ride around Weyburn Sask)

============================================

A new book out for Trials enthusiasts.
