There is no need to be a member to go to the event.

I'm off to wash my mouth out now, having mentioned that other club.

I'm also not a member but you don't have to be,
it's quite a close one for me and my car has been accepted for the 912 display too.
Very local to you Neil, i bet they'd like to have your Targa there.

I think we had more 912s than early 911's - first time I can ever recall that happening!!

Weather was lovely today and was good to catch up with Danny et al.

That last picture is my car

Turned up on a whim on Sunday as the weather was good. Had a good look at the display cars. Had a hot dog, walked the grounds. 356 display at the house entrance was very good.

Car of the show was the 904

Left around half three and had a convoy of 911's half way along the A14 back to Cambridge.

Reading the programme it appears that Andy prill has an open day on 5th September. Heddingham the following day could be a chance to get a number of 912's together at Heddingham to celebrate 50 years.
