EACC Kneel’s
Remembrance Wheels and the EACC AGM at Great Blakenham
village hall. Map
The last EACC mopedjumble of the
season combined with a tour of the quiet Suffolk lanes.
Kneel’s Wheels is the biggest of
the EACC
village hall based runs; the village hall in question is at Great
Blakenham. This will be the twelfth running of this classic
event. Full reception facilities and free refreshments are
available on arrival. The mopedjumble is typically
supported by all, from the larger stands to the various smaller
pitches of general members. The jumble opens 9:30am, the
run sets off after the two minures silence at 11:00am. The
lunch stop is at Claydon Crown.
After lunch, the run returns to Great Blakenham where the jumble
continues. The EACC AGM will be at 2:15pm—although the
AGM is, of course,
‘members only’, the EACC welcomes non-members
throughout the rest of the event.
Directions to the start: Great Blakenham is on the
B1113. Leave the A14 at its junction (No 52) with the
B1113 and follow the signs to
‘Gt Blakenham’. In Great Blakenham, turn
right at the ‘Village Hall’ sign into Mill Lane,
opposite the Chequers pub. The
village hall is along this road on the right.
Everyone welcome—Free day membership if you’re not an
EACC
member. Please contact the organiser for more information
or to reserve a jumble space (telephone Neil Morley on
01473 743587).

The Radar Run - ideal for cyclemotors
The Radar Run has an optional, shortened route for cyclemotors, 11 miles shorter than the main route. The cyclemotor route runs along the same roads as the main route but omits two ‘dead end’ spurs. This means that the back-up vehicle can cover both routes.
The EACC 16th Radar Run and Mopedjumble
starts at Bromeswell Village Hall.
There’s a superb circuit around Bawdsey
peninsula with lots of historical interest details on the course
notes. All welcome—free Day Membership if
you're not an EACC member, the usual
free pitches for jumble stands—call Paul on to allow him to set your spot in the hall. Jumble
opens from 9:30am, run sets off at 11am.
Everyone welcome - Free day membership if you're not an
EACC member.
28th April—Ride it Day
Every year the FBHVC has its Drive it/Ride it
Day on the Sunday nearest to St George’s Day.
Note: the 2019 Drive it Day will be a week
later than normal to avoid Easter Sunday.
The aim of Drive it Day is to increase public awareness of
Vintage and Classic vehicles by having as many as possible on the
road for one day. There are many events—see the
Federation Website—www.fbhvc.co.uk—for
more details. Several museums have arranged special parking
areas and reduced admission fees for anyone arriving in or on an
old vehicle. Or you can just take your old vehicle along to
whatever you’d be doing anyway: going to work, going
shopping, anything.

EACC South
East Moped Enthusiasts East to West Side Adventure
starting from Crimdon Dene Coastal Path (near
Hartlepool) Map
For the third and final time, this adventure
sets off on at around 10:30am and makes its way across the
country to an overnight halt at Alston. The following
morning the journey continues to Whitehaven in Cumbria.
Similar to the ‘established’ route but with some
interesting deviations, up-to-date instructions, and a more
traffic-friendly ride into Whithaven. It’s more than
a run, it’s an adventure in some very scenic parts of the
country with the chance to meet up with friends both old and
new.
