Its been a quiet year, most decent weather weekends have been spent house hunting, which has been very frustrating and seen a few dissapointments with house sales and buying falling through. The few events we attended are below.
Sunday 7th of January, New Years Run to the North Norfolk Coast with Club Triumph
Started from Dereham Tescos car park on a cold Sunday, and headed for the coast via Fakenham, to stop for a lunch at the Ship Inn at Brancaster. After lunch continued through Hunstanton to stop for a coffee at Sandringham estate. Then everyone drifted off in their own direction. Nice event.
Ready for the off in Tescos at Dereham.
A few of the Cars in theShip inn Carpark, Brancaster.
Varied line up at cold and windy Hunstanton.
Just popped in to the Queens place at Sandringham for a cuppa!

A mixed day of sun and showers, Usual meeting point at Walcot for breakfast, then a fast run around Norfolk and the Broads, before finishing at Thursford Museum. managed to keep the hood down for 45 miles, around 20 with it raining, then it came on heavy so had to put the hood up.

A good day out at this massive event, loads of classic cars, lots of things to do and see, displays by the Police, Fire, and Ambulance service, lots of it obviously focusing on road safety. Dry, but breezy, with a few outbursts of sun!

One of the rarer cars on show, a Bristol, mind you TR7,s where not far behind in the rare stakes, with only 3 at the show.
Another rare car, a very nice Jag, not sure about the Fiesta behind!
Buses on show too, this an old Leyland Leopard.
Could not get away with doing anything wrong here, Police everywhere, by the looks of the pushchair they are getting younger too!
A nice TR7, looks original, Had a TRDC sticker in window, but never seen at any of my meetings!

A very cold day this! met at Kings Head, Bawburgh, near Norwich, a few Stalwarts in Triumph Stags had their hoods down, must be mad. Had a nice run through country lanes for coffee at the 4 horseshows at Thorham Magna, carried on with run in weather even colder, and heater on full blast. The Stalwarts in the Stags had now given up and raised hoods. On to Jimmys Farm near Ipswich for coffee and burgers, then a blast down the A143 back to Thornham for a well deserved carvery, excellent value. A well organised run, we did around 125 miles in total, event well attended with Stags, around 7 cars from Club Triumph, and some early TR,s from the Register.
Ready for the off at Bawburgh.
Club Triumph Contingent at Thornham.
