Hi All
Next year is Triking`s 40th Anniversary , I thought it would be good to celebrate this occasion with an event. My initial thoughts are a weekend in South/West Norfolk (but completely understand if no one fancies Norfolk again next year), is this something that would appeal ?? Just trying to gauge interest/attendance.
love NickiHi Nicki.
Good idea! No matter where it took place, we’d certainly try to fit it into our calendar (depending on clashes with other commitments).Best wishes,
David
Count us in Nicki.
Hi Nikki
Count us in. Always happy to see other parts of Norfolk. I am happy to help with any organising or ideas for venues etc.
Regards BobClare and I would be up for it…
Dave
Hi Nicki
Sounds like a great plan, count us in!
Stephen and Joanna
Great idea, we’re up for it, there’s still a great deal of Norfolk to throw the three wheels around. Anyway, as was said previously, its meeting up with everyone that is the highlight of the meet.
Dick and Myra.Hi Nicki
Lorraine and I would certainly like to join in.Hi, Nicki – I might even make it – unfortunately minus Triking !
Hi Nicki,
Count me in.Great. Count us in.

Thanks Nicki,
Sounds brilliant we would love to join in.
Paul & ChrisBeing “local Yokels” we’d be happy to help with organising this etc so please feel free to ask.
Dave & Clare
Hi
Many thanks for all getting back to me , I will start looking for a venue and will let you know how I get on with dates etc.
Thankyou for the offers of help I will be in touch 🙂
love NickiHi Nicki, count me in to please.
AxelHi Nicki,
Are we anywhere near deciding on a date ? The German Three Wheeler Meet is scheduled for the weekend starting 1st Sept 2018 in Scotland.
Regards,
AndyHi Nicki,
We’ve just discovered that we won’t be able to make the German 3-wheeler meeting next year, so we’re really, really, really hoping that we can manage the Triking 40th Anniversary gathering. Just to add to Andy’s question!
Best wishes,
David QThis is also a meet we would want to attend, waiting in anticipation for a favourable date.
Hi Nikki
Any news on dates yet? I will be away after xmas till April but still contactable via email. As I mentioned before I am happy to assist and I have a number of North Norfolk routes we could adapt from runs that the NNCVC have done in the past. I could easily adapt one or two depending on where we started from.
Happy xmas
BobHi All
Weekend 22nd June – 24th June 2018
We want to make this event as informal and flexible as we could to enable everyone to take part .. timings (apart from the date bit ) and schedule is flexible everyone is welcome to come for all or just an evening or afternoon.
We can book 14 rooms at Broome Hall Saham Toney https://www.broomhallhotel.co.uk room rates are from £85-£150 per room per night , I think there may be room for manoeuvre on the price depending on number of rooms booked.
I am sure we can find campsites and or B&B’s in the local area if people would prefer.
I would be grateful if anyone wanting a room would let me know asap and I can contact Broome Hall to book the rooms.
love NickiBrilliant Nicki.
Count us in.
Tony & Carol.
I’ve emailed you to book the room.Yes please Nicki,
1 x double room for Pat and I please.
Richard & PatYes please Nicki, a Single bedröppelte for me please.
Regards AxelI don’t believe it, another date clash, just as we’ve arranged a holiday in Scotland to see Stephen and Joanna along with their guests David and Avril. We have really been looking forward to this holiday in Scotland so it looks like we are going to miss out on this meet, what a bug**r!!!
We’ve also just read the posting. Ugh. As Dick has said, we (Avril and I) have planned a trip to Scotland for the coming June (with our Triking) and had arranged to stay for a few days with Stephen and Joanna, which we have discovered overlaps with the 40th anniversary meeting. It’s now too late for us to change our travel plans without major disruption to other friends and family. We’ve just been speaking with Stephen and Joanna about this conflict and have reached the conclusion that we’ unfortunately have to miss the 40th Anniversary gathering. We hadn’t actually realised that Dick and Myra were also coming to Scotland at the same time (although knew they might be able to come up), but I know this is a bitter blow for us all.
David & Avril
Hi, Vicki – I’ve been looking for an excuse to make a trip back to the UK, and I think this is it (especially as that weekend is my wife’s birthday). Will be fun to see some of the people I’ve only communicated with online . Can you reserve an upstairs double room for my wife and I for Friday and Saturday nights, DBB, if available.
Thanks
Eric
Would it help the Scottish contingent if we tried to change the date?
We don’t want to create any problems. If those dates work for everyone then don’t change things on our account, although we would love to be there and appreciate your offer!
Stephen and Joanna
It would certainly suit us 1 or 2 weeks later, but don’t spoil it for everyone, I know what it’s like to plan a meet, it’s not always easy to please all; however, if it is possible we would certainly be there.
Dick and MyraHi Nicki,
Clearly the answer is “yes”, but I feel that so many people have already replied that you should leave things as they are and not risk disruption and someone else not being able to make a new date. That seems unfair to me. We’ll toast you all with some good Whisky and retail you afterwards with unlikely tales of our adventures!David & Avril
We shall be there on these dates unless they change ??
Mark and Lorraine.Hi Nicky
We certainly would love to be there but unfortunately we have already arranged to be away from 21st June for 10 days.
Like others, if it should be practical to make a date change later or earlier then that would be perfect.
Paul & ChrisHi All
Thankyou to everyone who has replied,
I have contacted Broome Hall and they have 2 further weekends with 14 rooms free –
Friday 6th July to Sunday 8th July
OR
Friday 20th July to Sunday 22nd July
If everyone can let me know which one is best and we will go with the date with the most yes`s
Love NickiHi Nicky.
6th to 8th July for us please.
Thanks
Paul & Chris
Yes please Nicki
Hi Nicki, great news, either of those dates would be great for us. Dick and Myra. x
Either for us Nicki.
Hi Nicki,
Thanks for asking for alternatives anyway 🙂
We can make either of these, although have a slight preference for 20-22 July. We’ll come anyway!
Thanks again,
David & AvrilEither for us are ok, possible very slight preference for early dates, but we shall be at either weekend
Thanks
Mark and LorraineHi Nicki
Yasko and I can make either date but prefer the weekend when it will not be raining.
Either weekend is ok for us though we have a slight preference to the second date. Don’t forget to ask us for help if needed 🙂
Dave & Clare
Hi Dave
Thankyou will be definitely be in contact
Love Nicki
Hi Nicky and all,
Hilary and I would like to come please. We are no longer selling the trike as we like it too much and I will engineer myself out of the problem with a large screen sat nav and Bluetooth headset !
We can make both dates but prefer the earlier option as the roads will be busy with school holidays starting on the later date..Best wishes
Phil & HilaryThe best news I’ve heard so far this year, couldn’t imagine anyone else driving your car, see you in Norfolk if not before.
Hi Phil & Hilary
That’s great news it will be lovely to see you its been ages x
Great to hear Both. What’s Bluetooth?
It’s a stain you get from eating certain fruit.
PS apologies for spelling your name wrong Nicki!
Hi Nikki
6th o 8th for us please. Will sort out drive routes when back in the UK in AprilEither will suit me!
Hi Oily
We have gone for the weekend of 6-8th July, the hotel is booking up very fast (I think there is only 1 room left) let me know if you need any more info on hotels, b&b`s campsites etc.
love Nicki
Don’t forget the sun cream, we are talking Norfolk.
Hi Nicki,
Can make the 6th to 8th but not later one.
My regards,
AndyHi Nicky,
We can add weight to what looks like a clear preference for the earlier date (6-8 July) as this would also be the best option for Axel, Jürgen Weigle and myself. If this proves to be the final date, please book us two doubles and one single room in the hotel, if possible.
Many thanks and looking forward to it!!
Paul, plus Axel and Jürgen

I have booked the rooms under Triking Sports Cars – Nicki Layzell .
If anyone would rather camp/caravan please let me know and I can find details of campsites etc.
love NickiBooked into the Coach house. Yipee.
We are booked in to !
We have booked 3 nights.
That’s me booked in 🙂
This could be the best attended meet of the modern era, I count 17 cars so far ?
Just had a thought if we do fill all the rooms we can find some more nearby 🙂
Love NickiPhew. I tried to book last night but they hadn’t got the meeting in their computer yet so asked me to call back today. In the interim I was worried (well, secretly pleased) by the large number of posts about successful bookings, but I’ve managed to get a room as well. Nicki, I suspect you will indeed need to book more rooms 🙂 This will be my second trip to the UK with my Triking this year. It would have been three, but we’re very disappointed not to be able to make the German Treffen. Mind you, Avril’s secretly happy to have more time for her garden 🙂
David
Booked in for 3 nights. Paul & Chris
Hi Nicki, if you need help with interesting routes through the unseen country of Norfolk then Axel is your man😉😂
Oh O! I’m still getting the dirt out from my cab.
But there are two places within 45 minutes that may appeal to all The Lavender Farm Tour and Tea room and Langham Glass Tour with Tea Room. Do you spot the theme here?- This reply was modified 9 months, 2 weeks ago by

Regards Dave
My wife and I also have reservations at Broom Hall for the weekend – looking forward to meeting everyone and seeing Trikings other than my own, although we may be a little sleepy due to 8 hours of jetlag 🙂
Eric and Mary
Perhaps it would be a good idea to get into training now Eric, live your life for the next six months in our time zone. Hopefully your neighbours will not complain too much. Looking forward to meeting you both do bring some pictures of your Triking. I am particularly interested in your painting system and may well try it myself.
Best wishes
Richard & PatThanks for the suggestion, Richard -unfortunately I’m pretty regimented as far as mealtimes, bedtime, etc., which makes the jet lag thing worse. We have friends who seem to snack and nap any time of day or night, and jet lag doesn’t seem to bother them.
Calling it a painting “system” is going too far – I just kept spraying until my spraying finger got tired or the wind picked up some dust. However, I’ll be happy to share my experiences and some photos with you.Eric
Oops! Took my eye off the ball for two days while we got involved with putting our house on the market and the hotel is fully booked!
No worries, we will take our chances nearer the date when we can see where we are going (I thought that was my problem!!).
Have looked at all other accommodation so hope to be there.Best wishes
Phil & HilaryDon’t despair Phil, there must be somewhere that isn’t full of 3 wheel nutters.
We booked at the first available moment!
Good luck.We are checking out more accommodation early next week , I will let you know how we get on and post more details🙂
**** Additional Accommodation *****
We have more accommodation for the 40th Weekend , it is only 4 miles down the road from Broom Hall , I have booked a room on the Friday evening for us to all get together and eat , I will post the menus a bit nearer the time.The Olde Windmill Inn

Cant make it to the UK this year as was over last year for a birthday bash.
I will think of you all drinking real British beer and eating pub food. Canadian although palatable is not the same.
I know the The Olde Windmill Inn from the days of my teens and early 20s sure we eat there, definitely drank the beer!Niki thanks for the welcome when I dropped by last June.
Best of fun to all for the weekend.

Thankyou for your support over the weekend it was a lovely weekend we had great time, thankyou for the card and present it was very kind. I loved the descriptions of Alan in the Tony Divey cup presentations x
See you all soon.

Hi Nicki & Alan

Well done Nicki,
Good venue, good runs, good company, what more can you ask?
Richard & Pat xGreat weekend 2nd time Norfolk has delivered the weather lovely venues and super organisation , next time will be a hard job for somebody . Debs & Roger xx
Well done Nicki, Alan.
Thanks for a great weekend.
The sight of so many cars lined out along country lanes was a real treat.
Great to meet other owners and see their fantastic cars.
We had a quite run home with light traffic to N.Lincs…thankfully !
Thanks for making us feel so welcome.
Andy & JoanGreat end to a great holiday, 2600 miles done in total. Thanks to the Triking team for organising the 40th celebrations, it was a great get together with added sunshine to boot. Myra and Richard.
Hi Nicki and Alan.
Thanks for an excellent weekend in South Norfolk, part of the county that Anne and I always speed through and never stop at! Good hotel and food with some superb routes for us to follow. Thanks also to all of those who provided support for making it such a great weekend. Look forward to next year, hopefully with a car that doesn’t need bump starting!
Regards, Anne and Bob
Just to add our thanks for a wonderful meeting. Well done to Nicki and Alan and their merry band of helpers! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the interesting drives, visits and good food (far too much of it – the diet starts today!). Thanks to everyone who attended for again confirming our opinion that all Trikingists (or whatever we call ourselves) and partners are a highly enjoyable bunch of enthusiasts that we always really enjoy meeting up with. We look forwards to the next meeting.

Best wishes, David Q (David & Avril)All of the above, seconded.
Thanks must also go to the entertainers on Saturday evening, Phyl, Andy and Richard, including the donor for the contents of ‘Denis’s Socks’, good game.
The cake was superb, had ours for afternoon tea on Tuesday.
Great to see old friends and some new faces, heard on the forum but never seen before.
Best wishes to all.
Tony & CarolTo Nicki, Alan, the Org. Team and everyone of you may I add my thanks to the long list above. I have to agree with David Q – Trikingistas (or whatever we want to call ourselves) are a lovely bunch of people and following the Saturday evening quiz we now know why: Because they’ve all got a wheel missing … or as they say in Germany (Richard, Everybody – repeat after me!!): Sie haben alle ein Rad ab!!!
Looking forward to seeing some of you in Scotland very soon and thanks again
Paul, with Nick
And from us over here too! Wonderful to meet everybody, so good to meet the folks behind the names, and great fun too. Watch this space for the mutterings becoming less faint for the ‘small island’ bash next year.
