Twenty-four members had a private tour of Happisburgh Lighthouse, two tour groups of 12. Our volunteer guide gave us a fascinating talk on the history of lighthouses before we set off to climb the 112 steps to the lantern room and hear more about the continued operation of the lantern. To cap it all, the…
The first Fakenham Marketplace gathering of the year and, despite the chilly morning, 22 cars turned up as well as two prospective new members. The A-Board was updated to show our sponsored charity for this year: FitzRoy (www.fitzroy.org).
The Fakenham Market Place gathering was a great success, with twenty-two cars attending including two new members. It was also a good opportunity to assess the Market Place for parking on 7th May for the 01328 Coronation Rally. Jamie Francis and three friends have kindly agreed to do most of the marshalling for us. Fingers…
Contrary to weather reports earlier in the week, we were blessed with a dry and mostly sunny day at Earsham Hall. It was an interesting show with numerous makes and ages of cars, motorcycles, tractors and military vehicles. Fourteen members attended and enjoyed the drive from Thickthorn Services, where we all met, to Bungay. Thanks…

The Sandringham Pageant of Motoring enjoyed a fine day this time, unlike last year which was plagued with heavy rain early on. There were some 2000 cars on show spread over many separate displays all over the estate. We had twelve members’ cars on our stand plus four more on other stands. Some unusual cars…
Twenty-one members enjoyed an excellent visit to The Bircham Windmill last Sunday. It was really interesting and many intrepid climbers scaled it to the top. Lunch was very good and efficiently served. Many bought pasties, scones, bread and, of course, flour.
Our monthly gathering at Fakenham Marketplace, this time with a twist: this was the first appearance of the newly formed the Farmers Market. With twenty member’s cars in attendance, it was getting a little cramped in places, but a good get-together nonetheless.
Seven FAC cars were included in the 500-odd classics exhibiting at Holt as part of the North Norfolk Railway Vintage Transport Day. There were vehicles of all descriptions on show including a ‘depot’-full of vintage buses providing free transport to and from Sheringham via Holt Marketplace. Steam trains were also available to ferry people to…
