Norfolk Police Gala Day 2007
This year is our fifth.
I had worried that we would have a poor turn out this year, Mike and Andy had a
track day to attend and with only five cars last year and two of them being theirs,
it looked bad.
However after I sent out an e mail I got several members contact me to say
they would like to attend. The number soon rose to nine cars. On the day we
ended up with an impressive eight cars.
The day started off at the travel
the short distance the entrance gate. We soon got split up due to the congestion
around the show ground. Especially Neil and Brenda because I had left the
Travel Inn before they had entered there car. (Sorry) Next year I plan to use an
Alternative meeting place that will hopefully prevent this re-occurring.
We soon found our pitch without the normal drive around the whole site.
The show as normal was very impressive with a massive turn out of classics
etc. During the day we had a lot of interest in our cars with two to my
knowledge really interested in building Robin Hoods.
We also had visits from Steve Caley and his wife, and I’m told Gerry Cole
(Sorry I missed you Gerry).
Yvonne Blackmore also came and said hello, it was nice to see her again and
hear that Peter’s Son, Simon is enjoying driving the 2B.
Hopefully Simon will become active in the club.
I left the show ground at about 4. 40pm from the gate we normally exit from, only
to be prevented by a policeman from turning left and had to queue in traffic for half
an hour before I could get a move on home.
Roll on next year.

Norfolk Police Gala Day 2005
Thanks again for an excellent turn out,
A great day out, as in previous years too many cars to look at and the sun
Shone all day. This gave us time to relax under the gazebo and have a chat.
I did a BBQ which seem to go down well. There was a lot of interest in the
cars and I had a couple of chats with men that are seriously thinking of
building Robin Hoods in the future.
I would like to thank Roz and Gary for bringing the Gazebo, BBQ and
charcoal, Loraine and Mike for the Tea, Coffee and milk, Also Tracy
and Martin for bringing the water and kettle.
See you all next week.
Piddy.
