Our Chairman, Bob Jennings, led the Exhortation and Silent Tribute at our May meeting. During the Silent Tribute we remembered Jim Wheeler, a long standing member who passed away recently.

We were pleased to welcome two visitors, who we were told, will be the new landlords of the Railway Inn.

Our Chairman spoke about the Group 10 Rally at Wymondham and our own Group 5 Rally at Stalham, both of which he attended. He also gave a report of the Group 5 quarterly meeting at Aylsham.

We had an extremely interesting and informative visit to RAF Radar Museum at Neatishead. We were able to follow the develop of Radar from its earliest beginnings to the sophisticated 'spot-on' set-up today. The exhibit were outstanding and we went into the actual Cold War Ops Room used until 1993. The Museum was recently awarded the Silver Award as the second best small tourist attraction in the country.

Members were asked to think about ideas for celebrating our 80th Anniversary next year. Following the business we enjoyed some more slides shown by Pat Smith, including the magnificent floats in a St Patrick's Day carnival parade in America. Pat was thanked by the chairman.
