Evidence that Gerry does attend some meetings



We had another meeting where the weather was on our side. It has been raining every day for about a week and today it got out really hot and sunny.
Thanks to all those that made the effort to attend. It was nice to see you all. It was great to see Dave Jenkins again and Paul’s friend who brought his 1962 series one E type Jaguar. This car has been lightened in every way for racing it weighs in at 1000 kgs and has over 400 BHP.
It would appear that most will be going either on Saturday or Sunday.
I will organize a convoy for Saturday morning staying at the show until Sunday afternoon.
I will arrange a meeting point at
Treasure Hunt 27th July
I had a poor response to this event only 5 that wanted to do it. This is now 6.
I will invite the
Karting TBA
I asked if there was any interest in doing a Karting event one morning or afternoon.
There was a lot of interest so I will look into prices and locations Beccles and Red lodge looked to be favourite.
Maybe this would be a good event to do at the end of the season (Oct/Nov?)
Coast run TBA
Bob has arranged two brilliant coast runs for us in the past and he has another waiting for us to do. I will look at what dates we have spare and ask who would like to attend.
RAF Mildenhall 6th September
I have ten names for this one. Those attending will have to supply some details closer the time to the military police. I will collect these details and forward them to the police. On the day they will ask to see TAX discs before allowing entry to the base.
Helmingham hall classic 3rd August
I handed out some blank application forms for this event. Tickets need to be applied for in advance. (Check the web site for more details)

Camping at
11 of us from this club in six kit cars are joining several from the SG7 Kit Car club and going camping next weekend 16/17Th at
The plan is as follows:
Friday evening a barbeque (bring something to cook).
Saturday morning a visit to Weybourne military Museum
The Red Hart pub for lunch
A drive up to Blakeney, and then drive along coast road back to Cromer (we can all do our own thing of course, if people want to stop in Blakeney or somewhere else along the way, that is up to the individual) then to meet up on the cliff top car park in Cromer. Perhaps get some chips....
Then eventually back to the camp site for a few drinks
Sunday has nothing arranged? Just a lazy day packing up and trundling off home.
If you would like to join us for the weekend you are more than welcome.
You will however have to contact the Manor farm campsite and book yourself a pitch (hopefully some are still available).http://www.manorfarmcaravansite.co.uk/
If you would like to join us for Saturday you are more than welcome just let me know and I can give you more details.
Shipdham flying club
John Waterman one of our members from RHOCAR days is now the membership secretary of the Shipdham flying club and a half owner of a Cessna plane.
John has made a suggestion; it is to invite the East Anglian Kit Car club, Rhocar, and any other kit car club (including family members). To hold a meet at Shipdham flying club. In turn he will provide a chance for anyone to give gliding and or powered flying a go.
They have a small cafe, and can provide a BBQ for little refreshments. There is ample room to park plenty of cars.
Most thought it to be a good idea.
I will get back to John and let him know we are interested.
Treasure hunt
We have atreasure hunt route planned I will shortly be sending out an email with some date to choose from as to when we should do the hunt.
Westfield meet

Thank you to all that made the meeting today.
I had the thought that I wouldn’t be seeing many cars today due to the weather forecast and few that had already informed me that they wouldn’t be present, so I was suitably impressed when we had nine kits present.
And again the weather forecast wasn’t to close to the truth we had a lovely sunny day all the time we were at Diss.
I did decide to take a detour home and did hit some heavy rain before I got home, all adds to the funJ.
It was nice to meet another new face that of Lee Waddingham. Lee has a sierra all stripped down in his garage waiting for his build. At present he is planning to build an MK fitted with a Zetec engine.
Detling Kit Car show
Six of us in five kits drove to Detling for a day of fun. There were a few little problems along the way but all ended well.
Stoneleigh kit Car Show
Stoneleigh Is the next Kit car show on the 4/5th May
A few of us will be travelling to the show on the Sunday morning and camping over. All are welcome to joins us either just for the convoy, the day or the whole weekend.
We will be leaving Thetford at 08.00,
I handed out the events list for 2008 it’s a bit late but better late than never.
I explained that a lot of event organizer require to know how many will be attend their event. The handouts are written so they explain how much an event will cost or not and when I need to know by if you do require to attend.
August meeting.
Our august meeting clashes with the new kit car show at
Banner/ Flag
I had intended to purchase a plain banner flag and pole, but when I went to purchase it I found that they didn’t sell the banner flags in yellow our required colour, but they do sell flags in yellow. It was a agreed that I should purchase a yellow flag.
Web address stickers
I purchased two roll bars stickers (See picture) these were thought by some to be too small and others to be ok. The plan is to buy forty of them 20 in Black and 20 in Silver.
Our next Diss meeting is 11th May

Thanks to those that came to the meeting at Diss. This was our first meeting of 2008.
Not the best of weather with a keen wind and the odd shower, later developing into hale storms, but most stayed dry until they returned home. It was nice to see 12 kit cars an MGB and an Austin 7,and some new faces.
I had intended to handout sheets to those present, showing them what was planed for the year ahead unfortunately my printer packed up and the replacement didn't arrive in time
Not a lot happening until next month.
Detling Kit Car show is on the 12th April. Five members expressed an interest to travel to the show in convoy in kit cars.
The meeting points are at Thetford Texaco services (IP24 1QN) at 08.00
Newmarket BP services (CB8 0XG) at 08.30-08.45. Then we will follow the A11/M25/M20 hopefully arriving at Detling at 10.00.
Our next Diss meeting is on the 13th April at the Park Hotel Diss.
August meeting.
Our august meeting clashes with the new kit car show at Peterborough, I therefore asked the park Hotel if we could have our meeting the following week on the 17th,unfortunately they can’t fit us in that Sunday. Those members present decided that we wouldn’t have an August meeting because most of us will be at
However I have kept the booking for now. If enough members still want to meet at Diss on August 10th I will keep the booking. Please let me know, otherwise the booking will be cancelled.
Banner
I will purchase a plain banner and pole in the near future and Sue has kindly volunteered to sew on some letters for our club banner. Thanks Sue.
After the meeting at Diss several of us took a trip to the Norfolk/Suffolk Westfield owners meeting at Tivetshall St Mary where there were 11 kit cars present six of them being
Great day I look forward to the next.
