I am organising a Charity Family Day on Saturday 19th May to celebrate the memory of my friend’s son Shea…who died from cancer aged just 18 in May 2017.

 

A particularly difficult end to a short life blighted by disability….Shea was born with cerebral palsy and was quadriplegic…but was an extremely engaging and intelligent young man with an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of films and football.

 

Shea also had a love of fast cars…having been around the Mercedes World track amongst others….so we thought adding a car theme to the day fits perfectly with his memory.

 

I thought it would be great to get a selection of Zs there to showcase the marque alongside other Classic Cars being invited by another friend from the club he belongs to… the “Mean Old Timers” classic car club.

 

This will be an annual event and Shea’s parents want the day to be primarily a ‘Fun Day’ but we will be trying to raise money for the “South London Special League” where Shea played ‘Wheel Chair Football’ for 8 years.

 

Below is a flyer for the event and I really hope some of you can make it….there will be loads for all of the family to do…so the more the merrier

 

There are a few details to iron out and appearances to confirm…(I am liaising with some fire service mates to get an engine along for the kids to get in….but that is a work in progress)…so there may be a few amendments to the details…but I just wanted to get it on the Calendar.

 

Saturday 19th May 2018 is also the day of the Royal Weeding and the FA Cup Final…so that may put a few off…but both will be being screened in the club house for those interested.

 

Venue - The John Roan Sports Field – Kidbrooke Park Road London SE3 9NF

 

If anyone is interested in attending (don't let me down I've been 'bigging' up the club :clap:)....please add you name to the list....and bring your significant other and dependants :thumbup1:

As i have no interest in either the royal wedding or football, and the day currently appears clear in my diary, i will provisionally put myself in. :)

Seconded Craig, worth a trip out but only provisionally booked due to possible on call with work.

I think I'm free, I'll try to come too,

Maybe, work dependant

As been said. No interest in weddings or that strange game where grown men roll around crying at the slightest contact.

 

So I’ll stick me and the family down. Will be two cars but one is a VW so we don’t need to worry about it.

Just to keep it on people's radar....I would like to get 10 or so cars there to represent the club...there are a few South East 'regulars' conspicuous by their absence from the list....JoleyP...I think your family would enjoy the day...Alic, AndrewG...Art.. :whistling:

Come on guys get your names down, lets show our club spirt,

 

I'm 90% sure I'm not working so I'll be going, if anyone wants a convoy in or something.

Hey Garry.

 

What a great idea and I’m very much up for supporting this with you.

 

I’ve just spoken to the wife about this. Unfortunately the boys won’t be able to handle the 4 hour round trip to come along but I’ve just played my trump card, being that it’s my birthday on the 18th, and will come along myself (may try and rope a mate along with me).

 

Just a thought but can we do a fund raising pot on behalf of the club. I’d be happy to put some money in.

The Pickerings are in!

Hi Gary, what a great idea!

Sadly cannot make it as I'm due a hip operation.

Going to Calais this Thursday for my consultation & will get a date then.

I am thinking my op to be around the first week in May.

Sorry as my Z is up & running.

I have booked the ferry Thursday in the Z so I will get some pics of the Z at Dover port.

I would - but it is dependent on my Zed being back home.....

 

......And that "might" be the very day I end up collecting it.

Edd, will you be taking the 300? I could swing by your way and we could drive the cars up together (Safty in numbers :wink:)

I’ll take the safety in numbers dude. Haha.

The Z is definitely going and I’m conveniently off work that day. No second car though.

Gimme a message and we can chat meeting points etc [emoji4]

Will do.

 

Gary, what time would you like us to get there so we can park up safely?

14:30 - 15:00 ....the event starts at 15:00...so should give enough time to park up in the show area

Hi Edd

 

Just noticed that your not a subscribed member so I can’t private message you. So it’s going to take me 2 hours to get there via Arundel. So if I set off around 12 I should be in Arundel around 1230. Where shall I meet you?

Looks like i should be able to make it

There’s a MDs in Arundel? I bet the local residents association got their nickers in a twist and were out in force to protest the building of that! :gunsmilie: :lol:

 

See you there. :thumbup:

 

Oh and renew quick before Gaz reads this and starts chasing you round with his big membership renewal stick! :hammer: :whistling:

Haha. I can imagine the residents of Arundel doing that but it’s been there for years and years.

 

Ehhh it’s alright he already knows. I’m just being lazy. Kinda need to do it sooner rather than later though I think.
