20th April 2008 - Drive It Day.

 

Eleven cars met at Tesco Supermarket Car Park, Harford Bridges, Norwich.  They were made up of seven Morris Minors, three Morris Marinas and one Morris Ital.  We met up in drizzly weather, which seemed to be set in for the day.  We were joined by two new members.  One had joined at our Branch meeting in March and the other joined on the day.

Which is very pleasing. 

 

We set off at 10-30am and made our way through the centre of Norwich heading towards Filby Broad for a coffee stop.  Bryan Gostling was the organiser of the day and had handed us all a route with questions to answer before the off.   We all managed to keep together on the run, but we didn't see any more old cars out for the day. 

 

By the time we had reached Great Yarmouth for our lunch stop the sun had come out and the rain stopped.  We had our lunch looking out to sea at the new outer harbour being built, before driving around Yarmouth to the Time and Tide Museum.  We spent time looking around the Museum before Chairman Owen presented us with certificates on completing the Drive It Day run.  We gave away membership forms to a Morris Minor owner who worked for the Museum.  So maybe another member?

 

We thank Bryan and Hilary Gostling for organising the event and hope to do it all again next year.
