For those that have missed my other posts

Sporting Bears Dream Rides at the NEC

The Sporting Bears organise 10-mile passenger rides for charity at a few selected events

Sporting Bears Dream Rides - what's it all about

the 120+ charities we have supported

The NEC Classic Motor Show is the biggest charity fund raiser for us to help the UK childrens charities we are supporting The NEC Classic Car Show 9-11 November

In exchange for a donation to charity you can take a ten-mile ride as a passenger in one of the cars available, picking up and dropping off inside the show
Sporting Bears Dream Rides - what's it all about

Last year we had around 60 cars per day ranging from supercars right through sports and classics to vintage tourers with the likes of Ferraris, Maseratis, Porsches, TVRs, Vipers, GT40s, Cobras, muscle cars, Jags, MGs, Lamborghinis, Aston Martins, Japs, sports saloons, Lagonda and many more - and an Ariel

Just some of the PHers (most also Bears) offering to do Sporting Bears Dream Rides at the NEC - PH Calendar

We're in Hall 2 now (not four as advertised) - site plan

All monies received in donations for Sporting Bears Dream Rides goes to the nominated charities not a single penny raised is taken out by either the Sporting Bears or the Classic Motor Show

This why we do it - one of last year’s recipients Leicestershire Down's Syndrome Group at Filbert Street receiving our ceremonial cheque

Yeah sure, am I right in assuming you're a new Sporting Bear member who's bringing his car for the Sporting Bears Dream Rides?

Or are you asking as a show visitor?

I'm a new member bringing my car
