Plum Pudding Postcard - Report by David Harbey


26 December 2023


A large crowd made the trip to Mallory Park on Boxing Day for the traditional race meeting for cars and motorbikes. Organisation of the meeting is shared between the 750 Motor Club and EMRA and thanks to them, the officials, volunteers and, of course, the marshals for giving us a good day out. The Lakeside Diner provided a hearty and good value breakfast to start the proceedings.


Here's my postcards of the day – bikes first …
