Would anyone with a sporty type car be able to attend the Ackworth Gala Day on Saturday June 29th and help raise some money for Laura's Leg's?

Please check out the website for details of Laura and what the fund raising is for:
http://www.lauraslegs.co.uk/

I've done charity rides for the Sporting Bears at the NEC Classic Car show and the the CPOP but have decided to do something a bit more personal and closer to home this year. It would be nice to have some cars parked near the stall to get some passing interest so if people are happy to park for the event then that would be great.

The gala runs from 11am to 4:30pm and I'll be there all day offering rides in the Vette. Maybe you could just offer an hour or two, anything would be appreciated. Please either reply here or email me through PH.

Thats great!! Thanks for the offer, let me know how it goes and I'll get some more details off you. Also had a kind offer of a Lanci Fulvia HF through PH which has been accepted.

Hopefully we'll be able to put a few smiles on peoples faces and raise a bit of money for Laura.

Also, if you're in the area and could come down to enjoy a ride in one of the cars that would be much appreciated. More people, more cars, more money for Laura's Leg's.

Hi there

I have a HSV R8 (vauxhall vxr8), which although isn't as sporty as a Ferrari or anything, it still turns heads wherever I go.

Regards,
Darryl

Great, let me know nearer the time if you can make it. I'm off to Le Mans tomorrow but will follow up all these wonderful offers when I get back on the 24th.

Definitely! I remember doing Dream Rides at the NEC and the Monaro there was always heading out the door doing rides. I'll get in touch after Le Mans with more details. The more cars we have the more chance of making money for Laura's Legs.

Just checked the ol' diary with the boss and it appears I'm going to this also for a family day out! smile

I'll bring the 911 if thats suitable? (picture on my profile) Do you want it for display, or is it for drives as I'm not currently insured for the latter?

Cheers!

Not a problem, I was looking forward to seeing the V6 though, would have paid for a ride myself.

No problemo. Can you provide the details? Times, entrances, people to ask for etc?

Ta!

Yep, will get a map of the area scanned along with contact details and send it out today or tomorrow. Working from home today (post Le Mans) so no access to a printer.

It runs from 11am to 4:30pm. I'll be there all day so will hopefully be giving rides most of that time. The more rides the more money towards Laura's Legs. If you can make it, thats great!

I'll try my best - probably a last minute decision and won't be able to post up, but if a Blue V6 turns up come and say hi

Will do. I'll send you an email with details and a suggested route. That way if you can pop down you'll know where to go and not end up driving into the display arena.
