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.

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 […]
