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

 

The Z colour spectrum could’ve done with a nice red one in there! Cars look great lads, good job. Any pics of the other cars there?

 

It could have done dude. Shame you weren’t there.

Didn’t get any other pics but there was an array including Triumph TR6’s, Jag E-Type, Rover V8s, Citroen DS20, 30’s Bentley, Austin Healy’s, Convertible VW Beetle.
