Bents Park, South Shields, 12th September 2010 - Racing and Show for Charity!
 

On Sunday the 12th of September Jarrow club will be holding a charity race meeting at Bents Park, South Shields.

Entry fees will be £5 per person regardless of how many classes you are running, all the race fees will be going to 2 local charities, one that helps disabled kids get involved with sport and leisure activities and the other is a stray animals charity.

Also on the day there will be a static full size car show, with hopefully members from a large range of different clubs.

Upto now the classes we will be running will be:

1/10th 2wd and 4wd
1/10th Trucks,
1/8th electric if enough turn up.

Practice will start at 10am, so people can have a small lie in.

If you are interested in racing at this event could you email your details across to

[email protected]

Just so we have an idea on numbers.

Thanks

Peter

Excellent meet, I really enjoyed it and I think we may get some interest and new members from this one.

A :thumbsup: to all that helped make it happen, especially Peter for all the effort he put in.

I did ask Bill and Peter to pass on my apologies for not staying to help put the track away, but I had promised my daughter a lift to a concert. I had banked on us finishing by 4pm, leaving an hour to help with the track, I should have known better :cry:.
