EACC Kneel’s Wheels and
the EACC AGM at the Coddenham Centre.
Map
The last EACC mopedjumble of the season
combined with a tour of quiet Suffolk lanes.
Kneel’s Wheels is the biggest of the
EACC village hall based
runs; the village hall in question is at Coddenham. 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 at 11:00am. The route is the same as in previous
years with the lunch stop at Claydon Crown.
After lunch, the run returns to Coddenham where the jumble continues.
The EACC AGM will be before the ride, starting at about
10:00pm—although the AGM is, of
course, ‘members only’, the EACC welcomes non-members throughout
the rest of the event.
Directions to the start: Coddenham is on the B1078.
Leave the A14 at its junction with the A140 and the B1078 is the first
turning to the right off the A140. Coddenham is the first village
along the road. After the road snakes around the church, turn left in
the village centre. The Coddenham Centre (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
).

11 April
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 22nd Radar
Run and Mopedjumble starts at Bromeswell Village
Hall Map
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.
25 April—Ride it Day
>
Ride it Day
very year the FBHVC
has its Drive it/Ride it Day on the Sunday nearest to St George’s
Day.
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 arrange
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.
Drive it Day raises over £40,000 each year for the Childline service through rally plate sales and clubs holding their own events. This staggering amount shows what can be achieved through the generous support of the Classic and Historical Vehicle Community. This year there are special ‘Ride it Day’ rally plaques for motor cycles—buying one from the Drive it Day website will help raise money for Childline.
27 June
EACC Teenage Tantrum Run starting and finishing at Parham
Airfield Museum. Map
Gather from 9:00am; the café and toilets should be

will depart at 11:00. On return to the museum after lunch everyone
can explore the excellent exhibits and café. Museum entry is free but
donations to their funds are encouraged.
Everyone welcome—Free day membership if you’re not an EACC
member.
