Its that most anticipated time of the year again where we all start to poke our heads out of the garage and start to decide which shows we want to go to this season….
Well last year my work colleagues and I helped put on a charity Hot Rod show in Loughton, Essex and although it was a very late decision to go ahead and we missed out on all the advertising deadlines, we still had a half decent turn out with some outstanding Hotrods and Bikes and still managed to raise just under £1000 at the show and just over £2800 by the end of the year for the kids at Haven House Hospice… They were so grateful for what we had done that they asked us if we would support them again this year … Well the Rumble is on again and Rumble’s Revenge has been fired up and given permission to hold it at the same venue as we did last year…
We have hard standing for over 50 cars plus we have even had the parking restrictions outside officially suspended for the day as well…so more parking on the street for more Rods. There is also a big free car park for daily drivers over the road.
This is a family event so there will be other things to do as well as looking at cars, so bring your other halves and the kiddies and help to make the lives of these kids a bit easier in their final days… There will be a supervised kids colouring competition with a prize for the best as well as face painting, Bric-a-Brac stalls and lots of other stuff available to do and see.
This event is open to all Hotrods, Classics, Choppers, and Bikes in fact anything on wheels that would be considered interesting and in the spirit of the event… The show starts at 10:00am and finishes at 3:00pm ending with a cruise to Haven House so you can see where you hard-earned money is going….
If you want to take a sales pitch, you can do by donating £20 to the charity but we would prefer you send this in before the day so we know numbers and requirements… You can sell what you like just so long as its not offensive, Please keep in mind it’s a family event… if you require a traders form then please send me an email with your address and contact detail and I will send one out to you by return.
There will also be a raffle and at this point I would like to ask for your further support… If you have anything you would like to donate or bits you have kicking around unwanted, then please send me a PM or an email and we will make arrangements to get it from you… All donations will be gratefully received and as before all money made will be donated to the charity fund… Some of these items may be more suitable for Auction and the decision will be made at the time as to whether it is an Auction or Raffle prize.
Every single penny raised goes to the charity…every single person working at the event is doing it for free and every single thing used has been donated for free…we wont spend one single penny out of the money raised, It ALL goes to Haven House…. So please come and enjoy yourself and give generously… Remember bring lots of change… It is £2.00 per person to get in and kids under 10 get in free, unless you want to make an extra donation that is.
