Sporting Bears Dream Rides

The Sporting Bears organise 10-mile passenger rides for charity at a few selected events such as the Classic Motor Show.

All the money 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.

The NEC Classic Motor Show (13-15 November) is the best fund raising event for us to get money for the children’s charities we support.

We also need passengers!

In exchange for a donation to charity you can take a 10-mile ride as a passenger in one of the cars available out on the Queen’s highway, picking up and dropping off inside the show.

This why we do it

For the many charities we have supported

Myself and a couple of others are going up on the Sunday, it's always an excellent day out, and well worth the effort...
the smiles on the faces of passengers are a picture!

[SB - Nigel]

Cheers Harsh

Still time to offer

Passengers can just turn up on the day

I just sent Mick an email, I've just bought a Maserati GranSport. Hope that's of use, I can carry two kids and a parent so may be good for those who won't trust their kids to some wierdo with a car

The nice thing is they support a charity that's helped my family a lot, the Children's Chronic Arthritis Association, so I'm hoping to get the family along to support.

Think I might pop down to this for a passenger ride on the Sunday. Great idea for charity.

Looks like I'll be there on Sunday. Is there anywhere to give the car a wash or hose off?

Great stuff.

Yes, we usually have our own toilet facilities, ladies and gents and access to cleaners' tap

If you could return my PH PM (emailed thro' PH Profile) I'll send you loads of info (assuming you got all of Mick's info too)

Haha, cheeky boy. Lovely lady flies out for 2 weeks today, otherwise she would be driving J-Lo on Sunday
