29th Heritage Run - 7th May 2018
The 29th Heritage Run was another great success and was
blessed with some glorious weather. Members arrived
early to park up cars and book in entrants, sell raffle tickets
etc., whilst the Caister Lifeboat crew and volunteers made
the bacon rolls and cups of tea. There were 191 cars pre-
booked but, unusually, there were a few non-starters this
year. It was great to see former club secretary and Heritage
Run founder Jeff ‘Pitters’ Pittman at the start. With some of
the original club members also on the run it was like going
back in time 29 years for me!
Once the majority of entrants had set off we packed up
and set off on the 62 mile run to Raynham Hall, a grand
Grade 1 listed C17 house near Fakenham, which has been
the seat of the Townshend family for 400 years. The cars
looked great lined up along the drive to the house,
although the heat in the sun had forced some to take
shelter under the trees lining the entrance avenue.
The Participants’ Choice award went to Jorian Tuxworth’s
MG Magnette for the second year running, and the
Furthest Travelled was Stephen Hearne from Musbury,
Devon, in his MGB Roadster.

pictures taken by Mark Smithson, Steve Nichols and myself on our Broadland MGOC Flickr webpage

Including the raffle, we raised a brilliant £2932 after expenses, which will go to local charities, and many thanks go to
all those members involved with organising the run and all those who helped out on the day.

Martham Village Gardens Open Sunday Classic Car Display and Caister
Lifeboat Cheque Presentation - 8th July 2018
David is planning to present the Caister Volunteer Lifeboat crew with a cheque from the 29th Heritage Run
proceeds before driving to The Green at Martham for the classic car display associated with their open
gardens day. Meeting point will be the lifeboat station for 10am. Please note entry forms for the classic car
display should be submitted before 25th June.
Stody Lodge Classic Car Event
A week after the 29th Heritage Run, 12 members found themselves on the route of last year’s run. Meeting up
at Caister Lifeboat Station we set off on a shortened version of the route, because there are several members
who never get to do the run, as they usually travel directly from the starting point to the finish to set up the
marquee etc. The weather wasn’t as bad as had been predicted and it improved as the day went on.
We eventually arrived at Stody Lodge and were directed to the orchard where we, and the Norwich MGOC, had
a special parking area. Dave’s superb Jaguar XK150 was singled out and he was asked to park it in the middle of
the entrance to the gardens.
David Johnson and Peter Thomas (Norwich MGOC) were asked to judge the best car of show and chose a
stunning 1954 Riley RME.
This was a very nice show with the great gardens making an excellent backdrop. Thanks go to the MacNicol
family for inviting us. For more details please go to http://www.stodyestate.co.uk/newsevents.

Free LW/MW Radiomobile set
We have been contacted by Graham Stone, who was prompted to contact us after seeing the Heritage Run
pass through Taverham where he lives. He is an ex-MG owner and has an old LW/MW Radiomobile set, in
working order, which is free to anyone who wants it. His email address is [email protected].
May Club Night Run to the Barnby Swan Inn
Although it was a bit of a rush for us to get to the Harleston starting point on time, the run to the Barnby Swan was
very enjoyable and worth the effort. Paul and Geoff had picked some great roads and lanes and the pace was gentle
enough to look at the picturesque countryside.
Several members had driven directly to the Swan and we joined them for a very enjoyable meal.
Many thanks go to Paul and Geoff for organising the evening.

Glenn Miller concert at Cromer Hall 5th
August
Hopefully you will have seen my email regarding the
North Norfolk Classic Vehicle Club’s invitation to
attend the Glenn Miller concert at Cromer Hall on 5th
August 2018. Although a couple of members
contacted me to say they would like to go, the
overwhelming response was that members would still
like a club stand at Helmingham Hall Festival of Sports
and Classics (see below). Thank you to all those who
responded.

Classics 5th August
