Capri for a Donation??!!

[Shortie123]

Right then folks, call us mad or whatever but our car club in Bury St Eds is prepping a 2.0Laser, will be mot'd and during the show season will be round as many shows as possible to attend. What we will be doing is getting as many active servicemen/women as poss to sign the car and the general public to make donations. FOR WHAT? i hear you say........ Well, we have a couple of members that are serving in the forces and what with the track days at Marham, we are raising funds for "Help for Heroes" charity. It helps the families and servicemen that have been injured, maimed or killed in action. So what in effect we will be doing is getting people to donate, then fill in the form that allows the charity tax relief on that donation, then at the end of the show season those people that have donated their names will go into a hat/bucket/barrel etc and 1 will be drawn and we will then quite simply give that person the capri!!

We are aiming to have the Capri ready to attend the next Marham track day so keep your eyes peeled cos it will be going public very soon!

In essence, if you donate £10, fill in the tax relief form and then wait, you may be getting a phone call saying you are being GIVEN an MOT'd Capri for nothing!*

• Due to legalities, we have to give the car away rather than a raffle. you donate, your name will go forward as a possible owner.

Well done to you all. Brilliant idea. What shows are you planning to attend?
When will the name be pulled out of the hat as such, last show of the year?
All the best.

Gonna be giving the car away around mid/end September 09, once the shows start drawing to a close.

The police gala day at the norfolk show ground is a good one. You can get radio norfolk involved and they will come 'round and talk to you about it. They're really good for that kind of thing. I go with my dads Lotus club and we always do a big charity donation at the end of the day. It's a good day and last year got 55,000 people there.
I'm sure a google search will point you in the right direction of who to contact. I'm sure the name you need is Steve Thacker.

Suggest you call the local TV because that's the kind of thing they like on a quiet news day.

Fantastic idea to raise money for a worthy cause...how do we make sure Simpo wins the Capri?

i forgot about the Police Gala day, we were there too and it was a blinding day, great weather too.

As for local press, we are getting there with them, just waiting for the Capri to be ready to go public!

Best of luck to you.
Hopefully see you there
That would be a good one to finish it on.

Ahh - brings back fond memories of my old 2.0 Laser, sold when the first sprog arrived. Good luck with the fund raising - hope to get along to see the car at one of the events.
