Charity Treasure Hunt.
Discussion
Was thinking of organising a treasure hunt in and around Aberdeen with all proceeds going to a local charity. Would be a Sunday afternoon in June or July, take a few hours and cost £10 per car, not per person.
If there is a lot of interest we could make it a Saturday afternoon with drinks and a party at night. I have a venue in mind which has plenty of parking and wouldn't cost anything for the day as a start finish point unless we all want a bacon roll to start with! They only other cost would be for a DJ and buffet if it was to continue into the night!
All i'm looking for just now is a level of interest, possible dates and weather a Saturday or Sunday would be prefered.
I've done a few of these in the past and it's usually a good laugh and a bit of fun running around the countryside seeing other entrants going the opposite way to you!
Don't worry if you've not got a supercar, anything will do, if you want to win (there will be prizes donated i hope!) the more people in your car the better!
Hope this goes down well, just leave your name below and prefered date, thanks.

Glad you don't mind coming all the way up for a run around on a Sunday afternoon! Any dates that are better suited to you? I'll be trying my best to avoid F1 weekends.1. Ferobert (Elliot) - Hensen M30

That's more like it! That's why i'm trying to sort dates just now Alfachick, let me know what dates are good for you and i can do my best to sort it for one of them.
Any dates not good for you funnyimpreza?
I'm back at uni in the last week of April so start to first weeks in May would be good from then on in...Why not take it round areas which are really beautiful...A lot of people in another post have mentioned Cairn o Mount in an Aberdeen road section inc me...It would be good to leave the city and have fun...Let me know more info...I'm at uni...and students always love cheap exciting fun which is for charity...personally I love fast cars LOL...but seriously...let me know more and I'll post something on the internal internet site at Aberdeen uni...and write it in a way people will wnat to join in!Any dates not good for you funnyimpreza?
Not that far away...and can be looped around the city and surrounding area! Wouldn't even require that much fuel either...I can drive city centre to top of mountain and back at a resonable pace for a fiver of V Power in my BMW!

As i said at the start, £10 a car and word of mouth is the main form of advertising. It would be nice to raise £100-£200 so all it really needs is 10 to 20 cars. Don't worry about prizes, i'll be sorting that out now that a date is looking set. Money will be paid on the day, that way if something comes up and you can't make, it's not a disaster. 1 prize i know of already will be a nice Magnum of Champagne for the winning car, donated by me! Starting point will be set soon, just need to confirm a few things.
Here's to a good day out!!

What charity would the money be donated to? What type of cars you aiming for Micra's, Zonda's or anybody?Here's to a good day out!!
It would be good to get a range and see what happens....
The charity is undecided at this point. I was thinking about Alford Maternity, as that is where my daughter was just born and they run a very tight ship with not enough money from the NHS, but with all that has happened in the last couple of days in Aberdeen, i'm going to do some research and find out if there is a charity for the families of oil workers who lose a loved one.
As for cars, anything is good in the name of charity! Zondas are great, but if we get a choice of 20 Micras or 2 Zondas, on this occasion i'll take the Micras!!

Date is going to be Sunday 9th August, 10am in Aberdeen(flexible on the time at the moment). Charity will either be Alford Maternity or if there is a charity for the families of oil workers who have lost a loved one offshore, maybe someone else will be able to tell me if there is one? If there is a big enough turn out i might split it as they are both fantastic causes.
