Calling all cars 2007!
Discussion
As many of you will remember I help to organise my local village carnival. Its a traditional type of event, held in the grounds of Lea Green in the Peak District. There wil be a marching band, floats, fancy dress, Tea tent, plant stalls, tombola, ice cream, coconut shy, greasy pole, races, firemans display, and lots lots more.
Its an old fashioned day out, and when the sun shines its truly lovely and the setting is gorgeous.
Many of you have been kind enough to bring your lovely cars (of all types!) to show at the event over the years.
So this year, can I please call on as many of you as possible to do the same again?
The venue is Lea Green, in Lea, Derbyshire. The date is the 23rd June and if you could be there for about 2.00pm onwards that will be great. Please e mail me if you are coming : akm@marshallglobal.com so that I can make sure enough space is set aside for the cars to be displayed nicely.
This year too we have made 2 changes for the car people:
1, after the carnival finishes at about 5.00pm, we have arranged for the vilage pub (over the road) to put on some live music and a BBQ so that those of you that want to make a full day/evening of it can do so
2, I'm looking for some people to offer to sell short rides in their cars, with a proportion of funds received being given to the carnival (the whole event raises money for charity and to support village groups) . Those who came last year will know that the interest from kids and adults in the cars was massive, so I'm thinking that a short mile ot two run round the block for a couple of quid would be popular. If you can do this please include this in your e mail to me.
Many thanks in advance to all
Andy
PS, my costume for this year has yet to be decided - any suggestions?

I'll talk to the boss tonight, but I think we'll be up for this and the charidee rides too (assuming no insurance issues). 
There won't be any insurance issues. The driver is not making any personal gain financially from the rides. All the money is going to charity so it is just considered by insurance companies as pleasure use.

Are the W.I. still allowed to make cakes and stuff, I heard that new food rules meant they couldn't bake cakes and sell them any more?
Of course there are other things to go for but the cakes last time were lovely!

We have the militant wing of the WI round here. Cakes will be forthcoming!
