Provisional 2024 Events Schedule
January 2024
6- MVT Events Planning Meeting - Yes, it really is that time of year again, so we are gathering at 3PM at Bellbrook Brewing Company on East Franklin in Bellbrook – the goal is to set up the baseline events calendar. Okay, so it’s to drink beer and set up the events calendar, there is that. Might even have some pizza, so there it is, just another reason to join us.

February 2024
7 – MVT Monthly Meeting - The meeting will be held at Archers Tavern Kettering, 2030 E Dorothy Ln, Kettering, OH 45420, (937) 291-1015. We are in the meeting room off the bar at the front of the tavern. We have dinner and socializing at 6:30PM and the president usually ruins our fun by starting a meeting at 7:30PM.
10 – Drive your Triumph Day Participating is easy – on February 10th, take your Triumph or Standard out for a spin. Whether it's a solo drive on a scenic country road, a leisurely outing to lunch, or a commute to work, seize the moment. Bring along your spouse, friend, child, grandchild, or even your furry companion, and take a photo. The focus should be on the car, ideally with the owner or passenger situated against a cool backdrop, landmark, scenic vista, or even in your driveway. If it’s the middle of the winter where you live and your car is in hibernation, or in the middle of a restoration, take a photo of it in the garage. Embrace creativity and have fun with it!
Once you’ve captured the moment, email a high-resolution photo to:
Please accompany it with some basic details: owner’s name, year and model of car, and place photo was taken (city, state, country). The photos will then be published not only in our club newsletter and website, but also in USA’s national magazine: Vintage Triumph Registry, and on the Drive Your Triumph Day Facebook page.
13- Project Yellow Jacket - 10AM at the British Transportation Museum. The goal is to break the brakes once and for all! Okay, and to eat donuts – there is that.
18 - Valentine’s Day Dinner – Like last year we are going to schedule this for Club Oceana at The Greene. I was originally going to go for Roosters, but I was countermanded (just kidding). I am going to make an initial reservation for 16 folks, so if you want to go, let me know with head-count by February 7th and we will lock it in then. Events Chair Bruce

Our banquet room has been reserved at Franco’s Italian Restaurant, 824 E Fifth Street, Downtown Dayton, for Saturday, March 9th.
Social gathering at 6:30pm and the wait staff will take dinner orders promptly at 7:00pm. A brief meeting, announcement of newly elected officers and the highly anticipated presentation of awards will be at the conclusion of our dinner.
As last year, you will place your order with your server from a menu selected just for MVT. Dinner will include a salad with your choice of dressing, their freshly baked Italian bread (not garlic), an entrée of your choice, a non-alcoholic beverage and ending the evening with a fabulous dessert!
As a member of MVT, the Awards Banquet is at no cost to you for your meal. However, any alcoholic drinks are your responsibility.
Franco’s requires a firm head count (aka reservations) for setting up the room and staffing, so please RSVP to me at midgen54@gmail.com no later than Friday, 23 February 2024.
