There's plenty of action in Colchester on Saturday 16th. as it's their carnival day - might be OK for the youngsters.
I'm sure the Colchester Town website will have lots of detailed info.

It's about 20 miles from Hedingham.

Have fun

Hi All Just a quick note to comment on the show I attended yesterday, at the old WW1 airfield at Stow Maries in Essex [ close to Maldon ]. Hosted by Region 11 [ Essex] of Porsche Club, to celebrate the 50 years of the club. I took my 914 and was asked to participate ,by the organisers, in the Concou...

In particular the 3M Windo-Weld Ribbon Sealer is mentioned. I've had no luck in obtaining same [ or similar] from UK suppliers - anyone had ...
