Suffolk: Orwell crossing monthly meet. Suffolk/Essex.

[STE-MAL]

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.

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.
