Roy Twycross is once again organising
his annual Ride in a Ferrari event in aid of the Jennifer
Trust for Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
All Ferrari drivers who would like to "sell" rides in
their cars are invited and of course all members of the general
public who would like to have a ride in a Ferrari for a small
contribution to the charity.
Roy writes:
"Please accept this as your formal invitation to attend this
year's Ride In A Ferrari and Help Fight Spinal Muscular Atrophy
[once again in aid of the Jennifer
Trust for Spinal Muscular Atrophy]. The event will take place
on Saturday 5 June 2004 at the Wyevale Garden Centre, on the A352
Wareham Road at Owermoigne between Dorchester and Wareham in Dorset.
Maps are available for those who haven't been before.
We were made very welcome last year, with lunch and cold drinks
laid on
during the day for those taking part in the event. David Hollinghurst,
manager, and his team at Wyevale also offer a range of food and
drink in the on-site cafeteria and the garden centre contains
many different shopping areas as well as garden products.
I am hoping that we will see members of the charity from the
local area
attend this year as so many of them were unable to get there last
time due to ill-health. I am still hopeful that we will be able
to get at least one
well-known personality as a guest and we will no doubt be in the
local press as a preview and review of the event.
If anyone requires further information about the event or, as
mentioned
previously, needs a map to find the location (once again there
will be road signs erected on the day of the event to guide you
into the venue), please do not hesitate to contact
me.
Extra to this, I have been in contact with Autocar magazine and
Classic
Cars magazine, both of which want to feature the event in the
pages of their publications. Ben Oliver of Autocar has offered
to bring (say it quietly!) a Porsche 911 Turbo. At least, we might
get our celebrity that way. Once again David (the manager at Wyevale)
will offer the buffet lunch for all taking part and will give
us the freedom of the grounds to run the event. We also hope to
put one or more cars aside during the day, so that people can
have their picture taken sitting at the wheel of a Ferrari for
a small extra charge."
