FINAL EDITION
WELCOME TO THE FENLANDERS 25TH EAST OF ENGLAND RALLY
2
I for one cannot believe another year has passed
and after twelve months of planning, we would like
to welcome friends old and new to our 25th
anniversary event.
We have a fantastic line up of entertainment, live
music, superb ride outs and lots of fun, and if that
wasn’t enough, we are delighted to also welcome our traders, food
stalls and of course our dealer Newmarket & Norwich Harley -
Davidson who have supported our Chapter and our Rally.
This is our biggest budget rally to date and with your fantastic
support and patronage we will reinvest to put on an even better
show next year! A huge thank you to my Chapter officers and all
the volunteers from the Fenlanders too, without who's invaluable
support this event would not be possible.
As a H.O.G. event coordinator and Chapter Director it is my
pleasure to invite you all to get the party started, roll up to the bar,
grab some refreshment and relax into the rally. If you see me come
and say hello, I’d love to hear about your Rally experience.
And remember – we are a H.O.G. Flag event, with
an award for best Chapter attendance!
Neil Billig, Chapter Director

Nor th Nor folk
North Norfolk is renowned for its spectacular coastline,
fantastic wildlife, miles of glorious beaches, seaside
communities and a beautiful hinterland of rolling countryside
and picturesque market towns and villages. North Norfolk must
be the birdwatching capital of the UK, and you can even take a
boat trip to see the seal colony at Blakeney Point.
Between the lively seaside resort of Hunstanton and the pretty
town of Sheringham is a spectacular coastline, most of which is
designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Here the
landscape of tidal marshes, creeks, shingle spits, and sweeping
golden beaches is backed by Christmas-scented pine woods. It
includes the Holkham Estate, and its beach at Wells-next-the-
Sea, voted the best beach in Britain.
Further to the East is the imperious clifftop setting of Cromer,
with its Victorian pier striding proudly out to sea. The coastline
then meanders southward to the secluded beaches of
Mundesley and Happisburgh, and inland to the traditional mar-
ket town of North Walsham.
The North Norfolk Railway begins and ends at genteel Holt, a
fabulously handsome market town which has become a mecca
for discerning visitors looking for independent shops. Most of
Holt was burned in its famous fire of 1708, and in its place
rose a splendid Georgian town focusing on an appealing
Market Place. Just outside the town is Letheringsett Mill,
lovingly restored to former glory on the River Glaven.
This is also Deep History Coast, where the biggest and best-
preserved mammoth skeleton was found, along with a
prehistoric flint axe and 850,000 year old human footprints.

Saturday Rideout to Sher ingham
Via Holkham Hal l
We are thrilled to yet again be welcomed back to Holkham Hall in
this our special anniversary year. There we will witness the breath
taking spectacle of hundreds of Harley Davidsons lining the Long
Ride. Then we make our way along the highways and byways of
scenic north Norfolk.
If this is your first visit, Holkham Hall is an 18th Century mansion
built in the Palladian Style and continues to be the ancestral and
family home to the Earls of Leicester. The first Earl of Leicester
conceived its design but sadly died in 1759, five years before it
was completed. Our route around this iconic estate is not to be
missed.
Our ride then follows the coastal road taking in the villages of
Wells-next-the Sea, Cley (pronounced locally as Kli – emphasis on
the ‘i’), Blakeney, home to a huge seal population and Stiffkey
(pronounced Stewkey), famous for its cockles and for being the
parish whose rector, Harold Davidson, faced charges of immorality
and was defrocked in 1932 and was then, rather bizarrely, killed
by a lion!
Sheringham will again rumble to the sound of many Harley
Davidson engines as we enter the town. Welcoming spectators will
be thronging the streets, all keen to see the spectacle of custom
and chrome in this most British of seaside towns and the Mayor of
Sheringham and the Town Crier will greet our arrival.
Take time to absorb the atmosphere, enjoy some traditional
seaside fare, and be ready to join the ride back to site leaving at
2.30pm

Fr iday Rideout to K ings Lynn
King’s Lynn, originally known as ‘Lin’, is thought to have derived
its name from the Celtic word for a lake or pool, and it is
recorded that a large tidal lake originally covered this area.
In 1101 Bishop Herbert de Losinga of Thetford began the first
Medieval town by building St. Margaret’s Church (now King’s
Lynn Minster) and authorising a market. A small prosperous
town grew up quite quickly and, in 1204, following a charter
from Bishop John de Grey of Norwich, the town became
Bishop’s Lynn (Lenne Episcopi). By the late 12th century, a
further period of expansion began, with wider straighter
streets and a much larger market place, known as the second
Medieval town.
Bishop’s Lynn grew rich on trade, both within Britain and
abroad. The Hanseatic League, a powerful German trading
organisation made up of merchants from North Germany and
neighbouring countries contributed greatly to this prosperity.
The legacy of trade can be found in the many merchant houses
and other fascinating buildings. After the dissolution of the
monasteries by Henry VIII, Lynn changed its name to Lynn
Regis – subsequently King’s Lynn – remaining an active port
to this day.
The town has so many fascinating secrets to discover
including the carving of the ‘witch’s heart’ on one of the
buildings in the magnificent Georgian Tuesday Market Place,
one of England’s grandest town squares which also houses
the Alive Corn Exchange, now a thriving concert hall as well as
the elegant Custom House overlooking the original medieval
harbour.
Line-up outside the main rally field gate at 10.30am as
directed by the marshals for an 11am departure, arriving at
Kings Lynn just after mid-day and departing for the return
journey at about 2.30pm
