Hi Everybody

Visiting Westfield Owner so please be gentle

I'm organising an Event for the Childrens Oncology (Cancer) Unit at the
Local Hospital

At the moment there's going to be quite a few Westfields, including Me giving passenger rides for the Kids on a short course

The plan is that the cars will be lined up and the Kids will be able to have photo's taken with the cars if they want and maybe have a sit in them aswell

The Event is Planned for Sunday July 13th

As You lads will Already know, Nothing turns heads like an Ultima
and if We could get one or two Ultimas to the Event it would make the Kids day

The Event is not a Fundraiser, it All about putting smiles on faces

There's some Very Brave little kids in the unit and i just thought it might be a nice thing to do

IF Any of you Lads could bring your Ultimas along i'm sure it would be really appreciated


Thanks for reading

Perksy

Thanks for the Feedback so far Lads

The Event is at The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, just incase you hadn't already guessed

To get One or more Ultimas there would be Great Lads

The Lady that Runs the Childrens Unit has told Me to expect anything from 50 Parents & Children etc

To be Honest i Don't mind how many come
Aslong as We can put a few smiles on their faces, then the day will have been worth all the effort

Will advise more details shortly



Kyle,
I remember your Westy and it was Quite a beast if i remember correctly
There's a few Shropshire Westy owners coming to the event, so you will probably recognise a few people

Hi Perksy

If I can get my engine sorted in time I will be there too - I am only 2 miles from the RSH so am certainly the nearest Ultima ! I know I have only 6 weeks and if I can't get the GTR back on line I am happy to turn up and help out anyway, I have a digital camcorder, camera and secure web address for photos.

You can email me at tony@ultimagtr640.com.

Kind regards

Tony

BIG THANKS TO THE LADS WHO BROUGHT THEIR ULTIMAS TO THE EVENT TODAY

It was Good to meet You All and i Hope You All had a Good Day

The Kids that were able to come Loved it, it was just a Shame that a Few were Too Poorly to come

There was One Little Lad who has been having treatment and it Made His Day to have a sit in an Ultima

Thanks Again for All Your Help Lads

Cheers
