Friday Classic Car event: Right Royal Run
KLDMC is running another of our informal Friday night Classic Car runs on 6 September. We are grateful to Kim Cairns Classics who are hosting us for the start at their Snettisham premises just off the A149 at PE31 7PF.
The event, organised by Duncan & Marian Russell, finishes at the King Charles III pub in Sporle at PE32 2DR, where pre-booked food will be available.
We will gather at the start from about 5.15 in time for a look round before our 6pm departure. Our suggested route will be around 35 miles of good Norfolk roads in the Sandringham locality before heading south so that we can reach Sporle before 7.30pm.
If you’d like to take part, please email Duncan with your name and car details at secretary@kingslynndmc.co.uk.
The event is open to Club members and friends, invitees to our Annual Classic Car Run plus any members of SEECCC or AMSC member clubs. Just bring a car of interest (nothing too brash or noisy please!) and, ideally a navigator, although you can always follow someone else if you don’t have one…
We hope to see you on Friday 6 September.

Awards Dinner
70th ANNIVERSARY Dinner
KLDMC celebrated our 70th Anniversary on Saturday 25th February 2023.
We were privileged to have been invited and hosted by the Mayor of Kings Lynn, the very charitable Councillor Lesley Bambridge, to hold the event at the prestigious Kings Lynn Town Hall, a venue that has an incredibly diverse history of use ranging from Public House, Police HQ, Court and Gaol!
Club President Paul Haylock thanked everyone involved for making the evening possible and hoped to see the Club continue to flourish as it enters its eight decade. It will continue to be involved with a wide variety of activities from club nights; navigational, targa and stage rallies; autotests/gymkhanas and an increasing number of classsic car events.
Joining us as guest speaker was Phil Mills, 2003 WRC World Champion with Petter Solberg, and present owner of world class rally car preparation and build business, Viking Motorsport. Phil braved questions on the night from 100 or so members and guests who attended, recalling a career which saw him compete in international rallies over 17 seasons, multiple seasons of national championship stage and road events and a total of 155 road rallies.
Exceptional food was provided by the award winning Shefs and it was great to be able to chat and reminisce with firends old and new on the past 70 years of Kings Lynn and District Motor Club’s rich history.
Thank you to everyone who attened for your support and special thanks to all who were involved in the organising team under the leadership of Paul, Ed & Helen Haylock, Steve Tilburn and Duncan Russell.
