Well its that time of year again and I'm putting out the call for people to bring their lovely cars to show at the Dethick, Lea and Holloway village Carnival.
Those that have been before know the format - a lovely setting and a very traditionsl english village carnival with Tea tent, Marching band, coconut shy, ice cream and lots for kids.
Last year some very kind people even offered rides in their cars which raised a further sum of money for distribution to local community groups. This is very much a traditional event, organised by the villagers, run by the villagers, and with all money going to great causes.

This years date is Saturday 28th June, starting at 2.00pm at Lea Green, in Lea, Derbyshire.
There is also a cross country barrel race on the evening of the 26th if any of you fancy getting a team together (its a tough one cos the barrel is FULL!) I can let you know entrance fees for the race in due course.
Please e mail me through my profile if you intend to come so that I can make sure that suitable space is set aside for the cars.

Thanks in advance

Andy

Bump!

As we're getting close to the date, I just thought I'd bump this one up.
Any takers?

Might be able to make it - have to compare diaries tonight. Are you doing the charidee hot-laps again? Not sure if I'll be able to do that - got the same problem I had last year - a drive shaft seal has gone and it's spraying a small but very messy amounts of oil around the engine bay.

No problem if you can't do the rides. Just the presence of a Ferrari would be great!

I should be able to make this. I guess the XKR is more likley to attract rides rather than the Scimitar?

We don'tnormally allow rented stalls. Its a very traditional (ie, not stunningly commercial!) village event - and proceeds are 100% for charity and local village groups. . You're likely to come under sever pressure to visit the Tea tent or to try bashing someone off the greasy pole! I'll speak to someone and get back to you
