I mentioned this a while ago but been trying to sort a few things out, the provisional date for this is 1st July, who’s interested?

Would like to make the most of the meet and raise a bit of money for Wizzers charity Sebastian's Action Trust and The County Air Ambulance Trust.

Any ideas on how to raise some money will be gratefully received.
I do have a couple of ideas,
1) Bring products you don’t use or can spare to be raffled off.
2) For a donation to charity you can wash your car using either my Gilmour or AB Foam lance using a wash product you are considering buying, for instance if you have a Gilmour at home and want to know if Shampoo Plus will foam well through the Gilmour you can try it for yourself before you buy.
3) Sell bacon butties, Hot dogs and burgers with all profits going to charity.

I have a demo car lined up which is a Jaguar S Type which I shall prep on the Saturday ready to be machine polished on the Sunday.
Would be nice if I could have a couple of rotary experts to help, as I’m not :o

The unit I’ve borrowed isn’t far from the motorway and has plenty of parking, more importantly it has 2 taps near the shutter which will be ideal, one for the hose and Gilmour and the other will have the pressure washer attached and there is a kitchen area and toilets. There is also room for another car if there are enough detailing gurus able to help.

I'd also like to invite a few members from the Jaguar forum my friend (who owns the unit) belongs to and a few members from the Nottingham branch of the Westfield Sports Car Club (I need to get a few of them to clean their cars rather than just thrashing them around :D )

Cheers
Darren

Good thinking Darren. Although there is a car show at Thoresby Hall on July 1st that I intended to go to I will certainly make time in the day for this meet as I'm keen to learn more about products and techniques.

When you have more details I'd be happy to promote the day on my 350z forum too.

Put me down for this Darren, nice one :thumb:
Like your fund raising ideas, amybe the traders on here could send along a V small something also to be raffled off. I know they are all doing a great job for the main charity raiser but maybe just another small thing :)

Hello, the unit is in Hucknall, probably closer to junc 27 off the M1 than 26, I'll put up the post code nearer the time though :D

Some very good news,
Mr Dave KG might well be popping in to show us how to use a rotary properly :thumb:
We may also have one of the approved traders from DW popping along to sell us some very nice detailing products, so far it's looking good :D now who do I pm about the weather :confused:

*Put's hand up to attend / assist*

I'll be there mate, plus I'm pretty sure that I can coerce Ant into tagging along.

I've also had a chat with Tommy, he's going to check his filofax and get back to me, but reckons he's in too.

If you want me to do anything to assist - Demo / chat etc, just ask mate.:wave:

This is at the dangerous end of the month (just after I get paid) but I'll risk it and come along...
