Once there you are you are free to do whatever you like There are two Fish'n'Chip shops in Aldeburgh both owned by the same people. One is at the South end of town, the other is on the High Street (this one has a restaurant as well). All the shops are open on a Sunday too. The chip shops are rather popular and do have quite a queue sometimes


****I am however going to need a few volunteers****

The volunteers are needed to lead small groups on the run from Stowmarket to Aldeburgh. The route is really easy to follow and full paper and TomTom maps will be provided. I'm going to lead one group and Darren another but depending on how many cars sign up we may need 2-3 more leaders. Put your name down and/or PM me.



There will also be the PHEA Annual Awards!!!

Categories this year are:

• Best German car
• Best Yank Tank
• Best British car
• Best Italian car
• Oooo what Shiny Car Award

The winners will receive some highly prized tat!
