August Monthly News Letter
Hi All
I trust you are well.
Late in July we had our Monthly Meet at the Bunbury Arms, now we were never going to top the 16plus from the month before, and so it proved. When I left I discovered why! Those in the know, knew, the A14 was having yet another overnight closure, with that and all the other road closures in Suffolk, I for one, had a nightmare trip home!
Helmingham was another great success, we lost a few cars on the day due to various problems but still had 32 on the stand. We saw plenty of old and new faces and talked a lot! The Junior got a lot of interest too!
