After such a long time of not being able to attend car events, we made our first outing of 2021 to Redgrave and the Starwing Brewery Fun Day. Branch members last saw each other at Glemham Hall in September 2020. It was touch and go about the date of the Fun Day and there should […]
25th April 2021 – Drive It Day
As we could not hold our usual run on Drive It Day, members were asked to send in photos and some details if they went out to celebrate the day or if they parked their cars out on their driveways. They had to say where they had been and how many miles they travelled. Nine […]

6th June 1982 – Eastern Area Rally
The event was held at Oulton Community Centre, Oulton Broad from midday on Sunday 6th June 1982 and attracted over 80 entries.

28th July 1981 – Bromley Pageant of Motoring
Our team entry at the Bromley Pageant of Motoring caused considerable interest, but could not quite match the Jenson’s and Volvo’s. With the current Royal Wedding celebrations in mind, a 3-car team set off to Bromley with their own “Special Attractions”. Of course, it could be said that this team’s special attraction was the man […]

20th April 1980 – Minor Goose Chase
If I begin with a nursery rhyme, nobody who attended this shameless frolic will be surprised, so with reference to the celebrated ‘Goosey, Goosey Gander’, “whither shall we wander?” was one of the burning issues of the day. We actually called it a ‘Scattering Event’, which apparently differs from a Treasure Hunt in that you […]
6th September 2020 – Classics at Glemham
This event was in doubt of going ahead only a few weeks before due to the Covid 19 outbreak. Members all booked online for the Track and Trace after the event was certified “Good to Go”. This meant that the organisers had all the risk assessments and measures in place for the Coronavirus restrictions on […]
