September Monthly News Letter
Hi All
I trust you are well.
It seems Autumn isupon us!
Sadly a last-minute change of plans re family coming in from the USA meant I missed the Pizza night, 13 braved stormy forecast but I gather they ate in the sun on the roof terrace. Then the rain came!
I didn’t miss Helmingham!! A great show as ever, we had plenty of space and loads of visitors, I have never seen it so busy, there must have been close to 1500 classics and well over 7000 visitors to see them. A massive show. We stayed till there were only 3 or 4 cars left in the clubs area, Jax & Co played us out as the shadows lengthened.
But now Autumn starts and we don’t stop, September is another busy month for the section. Our next event is this Sunday!!
Coming Up!
Sunday 6th September 9 am, Italia Fest 2026, Italian Car and Bike Day, with the South Mids and Essex Sections, The Oaksmere, Eye, Suffolk, IP23 8AJ Over 60 Alfas last year, a really great local Italian car and bike day.
Do let me know if you intend to come. We intend to go as a club on the Sunday 6th as that is when most classics are going. Italian car and driver is free, adult passengers £7.50 each, kids 13-16 £4
