Sadly it looks like the very popular Norolk Police Gala Day and the Radio Norfolk Old Car Rally is in "a spot of bother!" http://www.norfolk.police.uk/article.cfm?artID=11478&catID=638&bctrail=0 This news article on thier own website explains the massive event we have come to enjoy is to happen no more..... However, the founder of the Car rally Mr David Clayton has said: "There are plans for a similar event being talked about which will hopefully pick up on the spirit started by the Police Gala Day and Old Car Rally. If it happens and we hope it does, BBC Radio Norfolk will be there broadcasting." We had committed to this event for 2009 but this news may not be all bad, we could keep the date open in the hope that something does get off the ground or look to another event such as JAE at its new Essex location to reintroduce to our calendar? Ideas? ```
Its a shame that. Sounds like it had become the victim of its own success a bit, and getting a bit too big and out of hand maybe?
Lets give it some thought but as a Club it would be really good to get back to supporting JAE as we know what a fab event this is and by all accounts last year was even better with the change of venue. And with it actually being held in Eastern Region territory then what better event to support. I am sure we can count on support from North Thames, and various other areas as well.
What we really need is a local Club coordinator for the event. It should get National Club support but I know that if we want Club equipment etc. it will need someone to step up to the plate and get stuck into organising it…
Shame as I liked the Gala and was going to be bringing both cars this year
Still, it’ll save me running between club stands I suppose
Glad I came last year now then as that was my first time.
Such a shame … especially as I wanted another go in those HGV’s !!
Looks like JAE it is then. [H]
Sad News - I’d planned on us all attending this year.
I will put JAE in as a replacement, no problem, but would like to support another “local” show any idea’s?
A couple of possibilities 
Saturday 16th - Sunday 17th August
ROUGHAM AIR DISPLAY AND CLASSIC CAR DISPLAY, Gates open 10am, show ends at 5.30. Rougham is just off the A14 between Bury St Edmunds and Ipswich.
August Sun 2
Cambs. Duxford Classic Car Show at the Imperial War Museum Duxford. 01223 83500, www.iwm.org.uk/duxford
Just received news that there may be an event organised by the same people that organised it for the police, we will have to wait and see but if it does go ahed it will be on the 6th of September, meaning we could do JAE and the new version of the Gala Day…
WOOOOHOOOOO !!
Ooooh, two cars to one show with only one driver - this is going to be fun…
brilliant another event to look forward lets hope weather holds off like it did last yr [;)]
Yay! This is excellent news indeed as it was my favourite event on the ER calendar last year. Very much looking forward to it.
