. Waddington, was momentarily cast back - in time on Saturday as it hosted a beauti­ ful collection of automobiles in all their glory. More than 50 classic cars carried mem­


bers of the Triumph Owners’ Club from all over the country to make their way through Waddington’s winding lanes to the Moorcock Inn, where they held their annual UK club meeting.


The enthusiastic members took time ■


out to enjoyed the spectacular views on a fine afternoon before moving to the restaurant for a well-earned buffet lunch ' and coffee. ■ ■ ■ The club was formed in 1970, and is -


one of the most successful one-make car clubs in the world and local groups often hold meeting in and around the Forest of Bowland and the Ribble Valley. : . ;
