July 4th Sunday: Sheringham and Holt
The weather on Sunday, 4th July was beautiful as Ian & Terry took Peter Dadson and his daughter Laura, David & Irene and Richard & myself in 3 TR4s and a TR7 on a lovely run on quiet  roads up to Holt where we were all exhibiting our cars at the North Norfolk Railway (Poppy Line) Vintage Transport Day. There were a lot of varied classic cars and commercials and two superbly restored steam trains and the George Stephenson, a beast of a steam engine which pulled the carriages between Holt and Sheringham. We all enjoyed our 6 mile journey to Sheringham although the seats had been restored to their former Victorian style, which made sure you had to sit upright! Sheringham was busy as it was hosting a Morris Dancing festival, with dancers from Europe as well as locally. We enjoyed our walk along the prom, then it was fish & chips, icecream and cream teas time. On our return train journey the ticket collector came round and there were rather red faces and a few words from one couple in our group who couldn’t find their tickets. However, they were finally located in ‘the handbag’ so David & Irene didn’t have to walk back to Holt. An excellent day out, plenty to see and do and good company.

July 18th Sunday: Cotton Test Match - Report by Ian Hewlett
David, Irene, Terry and I drove to Cotton and parked our TR4 and Irene’s Herald Coupe up; unfortunately there were not many cars there despite it being a glorious day.  We found a spot on the boundary to set up camp and in between innings made a mad dash for the BBQ and beer tent.  The teams entered into the cricket tournament had 6 overs each to score as many runs as possible, although hitting sixes didn’t help as one would mean the batsman was out and 3 sixes would send the team to the changing rooms. Later in the day Peter, Maureen, Andrew and Nikky arrived in the Peerless and TR7 together after a morning racing experience at Silverstone for Andrew.  We decided tea and cake was in order mid afternoon so ventured over to the tea room, after Morris Men had performed one of them had a lucky escape as a stray six hit the table in front of him – I am sure he took comfort in the knowledge that the offending batsman was now out! When all's said and done, the cricket was entertaining as so was the company.

Sunday July 25th Helmingham Hall Classic Cars - Report by Hazel

This year the annual Helmingham Hall Festival of Classics coincided with the TR International so our numbers were a little depleted but we had a good showing of 5 TRs and a Stag, owned by Peter and daughter Catherine, Simon and his wife, John & Jan, Ian & Terry, Louise & Joe (and Monty) and Richard and myself. Sadly Peter’s TR4 was still languishing in Italy awaiting repatriation after a collision but nobody was hurt although the front of the car was a little buckled.  Fortunately his trusty TR3A brought him and Catherine to the show. The weather was glorious, showing off all the beautiful vehicles to perfection. There are always a lot of wonderful vehicles on display but I think this year was better than ever, and the concourse was a spectacle of everything from Bentleys to Fiat 500s. There was even a Parisian Hurta, unknown to all of us, but in good running order, but my favourite was the old Citroen van selling wonderful crepes!  
There is always so much going on at Helmingham that you could be rushing around all day but the weather was so warm that we all enjoyed a leisurely picnic lunch,  (although as the photo shows, Richard had slight problems with a persistent wasp), between viewing the vehicles, watching the show ring activities and admiring the house and gardens. Yet another very enjoyable day in good company.
