[TR] Naming the John Macartney visit to various cities

[Allan Reich]

Fred:
Thanks for the advice !  I have taken your great suggestion and called 
it "THE BRITISH ARE COMING !"
I made up a poster, stressing many marques I want at the show, as well 
as Triumphs.
The poster can be viewed at:

If any of the other clubs want to stay with the same theme for John's 
visit, I can pass them on the source files so they can tailor it to 
their exact needs and dates.
