Orwell crossing monthly meet. Suffolk/Essex.
As many people know the Suffolk and Essex section of the Volvo owners club have been meeting at the Orwell crossing Lorry park for nine years now. We have had a meet every second Sunday ever since three Ipswich lads decided it would be a good place to get some photographs of three R-line cars together. The first meet was on the 8-7-2007. We have had many, many great meets and I personally have made many, many great friends.
As we are all told all good things have to come to an end. Well sadly the Lorry park has been sold and is no longer a restaurant. We had the final meet there today (11-9-2016). We moved on at dinnertime to beacon hill services to discuss where we will meet in October. We had lunch at the little chef, which I personally thought was very good. Basically next month we are going to meet at the Rose in Shotley. IP9 1NL. It looks like we may well move around a bit before we settle down anywhere permanent. After each meet I will be posting the location of the next months meet in this section. Or you can contact Dave Barker or myself. Dave's contact details are in driver, he is the Suffolk and Essex section secretary. To contact me email i-roll@live.co.uk I'd like to thank everyone who has attended the crossing over the years, this is not the end of the section it's just the venue that's going to change. I look forward to seeing all the regulars and hopefully some new faces in the years to come. Steve Malkin.

Sorry I couldn't make the meeting Sunday but I'm away in Cornwall at the mo but I will be at the October meeting, what time will you be meeting there?
Even though I no longer have a Volvo I've enjoyed the meetings so much over the years I will definitely carry on attending I'll just be in a Jeep Cherokee instead as I never could find a suitable replacement for the 760! |

Definitely want to join in on this. Had a 240 for the last year - been putting it through a lot of restoration - still a work in progress but oh well.
That 262C looks fantastic - what are the wheels on it? They look brilliant.

Hi mate.
They are Penta alloys and are 15's. When I first saw it turn up I thought they were Compomotives. By all means come along for a natter and bring some piccies of the 240 with you Regards Andy

At the end of the day mate its got a Volvo badge on it so it has every right to park next to an immaculate one whatever its condition.We aren't anything like the TR club or any of the snooty brigade.
We just all share a love of the marque. Regards Andy
