Caring with Cars 2014 - Sunday May 18th - 400 VEHICLES SO FAR!

Website:
www.caringwithcars.com

With two successful events in 2011 and 2012 under our belts, we are again happy to announce that Caring with Cars will be returning to the picturesque Downs School in May 2014. Once again we are raising funds for the adjacent Children's Hospice South West. The event is primarily for YOU - PH members - and selected other enthusiasts, with attendance through simple registration.


A Great Day Out
Those who have attended in the past know that the event is a relaxed day with free entry and a host of attractions. Many visitors mention that CWC is their favourite event in the south west and we try hard to keep it entertaining and friendly, as well as inclusive whether you drive an old Polo or a Zonda.

PLEASE NOTE: No dogs are allowed at this event.


Sponsors
We are joined this time by not one but THREE sponsors, each of whom will be at the event with interesting vehicles on display. In the past, Bath Audi have brought the first UK registered Audi R8 GT and just-released RS3.

These are:
  • Bath Audi - Website
  • Fine and Classic of Thornbury, purveyors of top-line classic cars - Website
  • Mercedes of Weston Super Mare - Website

Sponsor Vehicles
  • Bath Audi: R8 GT Spyder (the most expensive ever supplied), R8 Spyder
  • Fine and Classic: Superblower AC Cobra, Triumph Stag
  • Mercedes of Weston Super Mare: SL350, E63 AMG saloon, ML63 AMG and the new GLA

What's On
The highlights in 2014 include:

Guest Speakers
  • Mike Cooper, extremely experienced road and race coach, will be giving a talk with Q&A - guaranteed it'll be informative and perhaps even controversial
  • Gail Hill, chairman of the British Women Racing Driver's Club, will be speaking about her racing exploits and the work of the club
  • Armed Forces Rally Team

Who is coming? 400 on the list so far!

Raffle Prizes
See all prizes here: CWC Raffle Prize List

Many thanks to all those who have donated a prize to our raffle!


Registration
While logged in to your Pistonheads account, go to the bottom of the calendar page and click Add/Remove yourself from the list.

http://www.pistonheads.com/calendar/event.asp?i=34...

BUT PLEASE ALSO



Please subscribe to the newsletter!
Pistonheads is great but, as organisers, we have no access to any of your email addresses. This makes it very difficult to keep in contact with busy people. Many members forget about events after initially registering because there is no reminder system. In 2012 we think about 150 vehicles didn't turn up from the 500 registered.

This:
  • removes spaces for others who do wish to come
  • means we do not raise as much money for the Children's Hospice
Therefore, we encourage everyone to fill out the form on the website to receive newsletters about new raffle prizes, attractions, etc as when details emerge. We won't spam you, or use your details for other purposes.

Subscribe to the newsletter here


Helping CWC
We need your help to get the word out to other PH members and enthusiasts who could attend CWC next May. We are particularly interested in special vehicles and attractions that would be of interest to the PH demographic, such as race and rally cars, experts who could give a talk, unusual exhibits, etc.


Volunteering
We are not paid to organise CWC, and value any help we get before and on the day. The event can't happen without others mucking in to marshal parking, take donations, man the raffle table, setting up signs, installing ground protection, etc. If you would like to help out with the event, please get in touch with me.

Please bookmark this thread as we will add details as and when they are available.

Note to mods: Garlick has okayed this post and charity event

Definitely. There was a gap left by the absence of a 2013 but hopefully the break means 2014 will be better than ever. smile

Great to see this back on the calendar. It was a great event the first two years, hoping it can build on it for this year.

Please PM me if there is anything I can help with, either before hand or on the day.
