This was a rare outing for FAC members, twenty-two of whom braved crossing the border into Lincolnshire for a few days exploring the beautiful countryside and many attractions that the Wolds has to offer.  Some of us stayed in the Best Western Kenwick Park Hotel which had many facilities, including an 18-hole golf course, and…

Stody Lodge Gardens held their annual Classic Car and Open Garden Day today. There were literally hundreds of classic cars and many FACes turned up, including Jack, David, Frank, Malcolm, Dennis, and Mike, plus spouses, to enjoy the sunshine and the flowers. A great day out and we could be forgiven for asking “Covid, what…

Our drive from Fakenham last night was pleasant and free from traffic. When we arrived at Benny’s there were dozens of scooters parked outside – they too had been on a run out. Peter brought his lovely classic Alpha Romeo and it was pointed out that two of the scooters were painted in exactly the…

There were 15 member cars present at the Fakenham Marketplace this morning, and virtually all enjoyed drinks and eats which, when combined with casual passers-by chatting, made for a very enjoyable morning in pleasant weather. We had two Town Centre display debutants in Oliver and Nod with their lovely Mini and Mini Moke respectively -…

We had a good night at the Two Lifeboats in Sheringham after a very pleasant drive in the sunshine from Fakenham. It was nice to see so many new members and their cars in attendance. The pub’s location was fantastic for such a lovely summer’s evening and good to see a blue North Sea for…

The Fakenham Marketplace meeting may well have broken the record as twenty-one cars turned up. Even the soaring price of petrol didn’t deter our members! Amongst other gorgeous vehicles, Martin brought along his stunning Noble and Geoff showed off his beautiful Sunbeam. Two new members joined up and others enquired about membership.

David Coles attended the North Norfolk Railway Vintage Transport Day along with other FAC members. “A very enjoyable day … good weather in the company of hundreds of classic car enthusiasts. We took a steam train from Holt station to Sheringham for lunch and a vintage bus back where we spent time perusing the large…

It was perfect day for the Charles Clark Rally.  80 cars took part and, after the usual tea and bacon roll, we set off from the Goat Inn at Skeyton, via a long and interesting route, for Brisley Cricket Club where more tea and cakes awaited us.  Various prizes were awarded including one, the Best…

Ten FAC cars turned up for the Burnham Market Carnival, causing great interest in the parade,  I don’t think we’ve ever featured on so many people’s phone videos!  The photos, courtesy of Stuart Twite, show a selection of our cars displayed in the field where we enjoyed the fairground, stalls, local craft displays or simply…

The first photo shows Fakenham’s Mayor, Angela Glynn and Fakenham Auto Club’s Chairman, Brian Monks at today’s display in the Marketplace. The Club is very grateful to the Fakenham Town Council, and especially Mayor Glynn, not only for their help in reinstituting the Club’s displays in the Marketplace post-Covid but also now making available to…
