With the passing of time and the inevitable turnover of people involved in the Triumph scene I feel it is worthwhile documenting the development of the present organisation. To this end I have prepared this brief resume of our history. The history of the club starts in 1954 when the Triumph Sports Owners Association (TSOA) was inaugurated by the then Standard Triumph International Company for the growing number of American owners of the successful TR sports car range. The Standard Triumph Automobile Association (STAA) was also formed at this time for owners of other Standard and Triumph cars and this provided the basis for the future structure. Throughout the 1950's and 1960's various local branches were set up throughout the U.K. these being run on an autonomous basis, having their own membership fee and volunteer committee, although acting under the umbrella of the factory "Head Office" STAA and receiving support from the same. Inter-branch communication was carried out centrally by the factory publicity department and took the form of a section in the company magazine "The Standard-Triumph Review". What is now Club Triumph was formed as the STAA North London Branch in 1961.
