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

 

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.

Gary, so sorry to let you and everyone else down on this one but something has come up and I’ve had to jiggle some commitments. Unfortunately, I’m not going to be able to make this event now but I hope you all have a great day and the celebration of the memory of Shea is a success.

BUMP

Yep, I’m still in mate. My copilot has pulled out but I think I’ve recruited another.

 

Looking forward to the mini convoy with Edd and Ash if you guys are still in?

Well bar fitting some new used front quarter lights tomorrow morning and a little detailing when we park up that’s my 300 all ready and looking good.

All set for tomorrow guys?

 

I know I am. Massive full valet on the car today.

Even with my crippled hand. Sorted out the fault with passenger seatbelt not retracting. And had a tinker with the idle and another small tune up.

 

See you all tomorrow for the convoy and then at site.

I had a great time. It was a very relaxed even with loads of very cool cars, I really couldn’t pick a favourite and out 300zxTT corner held there own. Thanks for the invite Gary, I hope the charity got loads of awareness and money raised.

Had a great day today. Sun turned me into a salmon.

Sorry didn’t get to say bye Gary. We couldn’t find you when we left. Hope the evening events are good.

See you all soon
