THE ICENI CLUB

During the "Minor Goose chase" masterminded by John Frye on April 20th 1980 it was decided that a Norfolk branch of the M.M.O.C. should be formed. In the ensuing months John advertised in "Minor Matters" and local press and a meeting was arranged in the Bell Hotel in Norwich.
The branch was finally formed in August 1980 when around 24 people made contact. Subsequent meetings were arranged on a monthly basis at Brampton Village Hall. It was decided to call ourselves the Iceni Club. Iceni being the followers of Bodecea who roamed East Anglia ( like we do ). Many people came from Suffolk as well as Norfolk hence the       "Norfolk and Suffolk Branch".
A further "Goose Chase"  ( Treasure Hunt ) was organised for the following May. From there on an annual "Eastern Regional Rally" was arranged by the branch.
Bryan Gosling took over as Chairman following the 1981 AGM when John stepped down due to his National Committee committments.
Tricia Copps took over as Secretary from Chris Smedley in November 1984 when Chris took the Treasurers post. They remain in these post to this day.
Our members have a varied range of cars of all conditions and we display at various rallies in & around Norfolk and Suffolk and sometimes further afield to visit places of particular interest.
We produce a Bi-Monthly newsletter giving details of future events, as well as cars and articles for sale.
We are a friendly branch, our main aim is to enjoy ourselves and cars in the company of others.
