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…

The second display and meet of the year was, again, well attended. The weather wasn’t so kind at first but the roofs soon came down.
The Brisley Classic Car Show was held, as usual, at Brisley Hall. The superb weather conditions played a part in attracting almost one hundred classic cars, eight of which were from the FAC. The entry fee for classic cars was £10 which went towards essential repairs to Brisley’s St. Bartholomew’s Church. There were refreshments available…
