WELL DONE TO ALL WHO ENTERED THEIR PRIDE & JOY.

2. The CHARITY RAFFLE in aid of the ALZHEIMERS SOCIETY and DAISY CHAIN ( in support of Autistic children and families. ) All proceeds will be divided equally between the two worthy causes which were chosen by RayTVR’s wife Alison Hoy Thompson, who is currently walking from John O’Groats to Land’s End. An epic effort, since setting off on 1st June, she has to date walked over 660 miles. She has 440 miles left to achieve her goal, and is well on the way to achieving her targets.

Thanks to all who generously donated the fantastic raffle prizes and those who bought lots of raffle tickets.
The most coveted star prize was the extremely rare and valuable original S Series front indicator lamp assembly, brand new, still in its’ box, kindly donated by Simon. Just “WOW!!!” There were a lot of mouths gaping in astonishment, not to mention the drooling with avarice. It was deservedly won by RayTVR, who may or may not put it towards his pension fund.

THE TOTAL AMOUNT RAISED ON THE DAY WAS A VERY PLEASING SUM of £230.

3. THANKS to those who gave late donations at the end of the show as they had missed out on buying raffle tickets despite my best sales efforts!

4. A LITTLE EXTRA:
In addition to the raffle proceeds, a sum of £40 was handed to Ray at the show to pass onto Alison. This sum was donated as follows: £10 from SunnySu, £10 from Graham ( Ragtop ) and £20 collected at Barn Farm after our Saturday evening meal at the Red Lion.

5. UNCLAIMED PRIZES:
There are a few unclaimed prizes, so if you missed the draw, I hope you have kept your tickets: Any prizes unclaimed by 25th August 2017 will be entered into next year’s SCH charity raffle.

Green 184: S Club T-shirt ( small )
Yellow 348: Set of Flex-Head ratchet Ring/OE spanners ( including 17 mm essential for changing those tricky engine mounts )
Green 119 and 120: Pair of undated TVRCC/S Club Heaven Mugs.
Green 193: Hardback Book, ‘TVR: Ever the Extrovert’.
Green 321: Dashboard multi-socket Adaptor ( fits in cigar lighter socket to power your satnav, Go-Pro, dash cam or mobile phone charger lead.

Check your tickets folks and let me have your details if you are a lucky winner.

We will undertake to get them to you by S Club Couriers. ( S- Cargo Parcels? )

6. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Thankyou kind Unknown Moderator for your kind assistance.
What would we do without you? This whole forum would be a complete and utter shambles!

[glenrobbo]

Peter, I have replied and sent details of Alison's JustGiving page so you can make your donation.

Thanks for your generosity.

If anyone else wishes to follow suit, here it is:

The following received this last night from the intrepid Mrs. T

.......Looking forward to meeting you all again soon and I won't be turning up on foot!

I think a sedan chair would be perfectly appropriate!

Or a TVR S Series.

[glenrobbo]

Thanks for posting those, Si.
Can I use a couple for my TVRCC SCH report?

It would be great to see more pics of S Clubbers & their P&J's
( Note I did not say in their PJ's! )

Great to see the photos guys - Can't quite believe I couldn't even get to an event a stone's throw away! I'm learning a few things about my car's history right now as it has open heart surgery. Its had some interesting work done in the past, making it a bit fiery. Will tell all in due course. Will be back in the mix soon. Pete

Well deserved Darren, your V8S is superb.
Glad you & Claire enjoyed our event.

If anyone has some further pics of the show, the cars, or the people, please share them here for all to enjoy.

Thanks!

Pleased to say the gearlever sold for £95, which meant £120 (he was abroad, so paid for postage) into Alison's pot

That's great Richard, thanks for your generosity.
Your quickshift* auction raised more than it would have done as a prize in our raffle.
It's a pity that the mods pulled the thread, but I guess they have to stick to the PH roolz, otherwise the whole website would be inundated with charity appeals.

I'm sure the bidding would have gone higher if the topic hadn't been deleted...

I'm pleased to relay that the total of S Club-related donations to Alison's good causes now stands at £540 with hopefully more to come from the Uxbridge Rotary Club after their next committee meeting to discuss allocation of their charity funds.
( I wonder if they all drive Mazda RX cars??? )



* Have you got any pics of your mod kit?
I'm sure a lot of peeps on here would like to see it.

Hi Alan jobbo51,

Welcome to the best forum!
Email sent, I need your address please, so I can post off your certificate. ( Email me.)

Not had any claimants with the winning raffle tickets, so the unclaimed prizes will be carried over to SCH 2018.

Dear S-Ed,
I'll try to do a cut and paste job of this report for Sprint, but I could do with some decent photos of the day if anybody could email some in the next day or two.
Life is pretty hectic at the moment!
The trouble with retirement is, you never get a day off!
