We had a good attendance this year at our chosen venue of Kentwell Hall, Suffolk.  We had twenty-two various Morris Minors park along the driveway to the Hall.  The entrants were made up of mostly half of our Branch members and the other half made up of the Essex Branch. 

 

Entrants enjoyed the weather, despite it being windy, and the gardens of the Hall.  They could feed the Koi carp in the moat or share their lunch with the many peacocks around the lawns.  Of special interest there was the Yew hedge at the rear of the Hall with shapes of the Pied Piper and followers cut in to it, plus the carved tree at the front of the Hall.

 

Our prizes this year were for the Longest Distance which was won by Len and Jeannette Carter with 143 miles travelled from Oxford.  The Shortest Distance won by ex-Branch member Dave King from Sudbury who travelled all of one mile!  The Oldest Car was won by Maurice Wright from the Essex Branch with his 1949 Series MM Saloon and the Newest Car was won by our new Branch member Ian Hamilton from Haverhill with his 1971 saloon.  The owner of Kentwell Hall, Patrick Phillips was asked to choose his favourite car which was Lou Rocke's traveller.  Apparently Patrick had owned one this colour a few years ago.

 

The Marie Curie collectors joined us for part of the day and we enjoyed a good raffle.  Thank you to all those people who helped set up on the day.+
