This is the 2nd year of this event and last years was pretty damn good to be fair and being held at the Dunton Ford technical centre is a real treat for sure, this is where the current ford test track is and all proceeds go to the St Francis Hospice charity,



I have been asked about having a stand there but really need to see whos up for it as I have spoken to Alex (icekoub) from passionford north london at classic ford, so I think this heads up should help and would be great for a PF get together for the end of show season

I went along to the centenary celebrations held by ford themselves a couple of years back at dunton and had a fantastic day, and popped into this event last year and thought it was very good with a real mixed bag of cars and plenty of fords as you expect being held on Ford's own property

It would be great to see some Passionford members at such a good location for Ford owners.

Although you can turn up on the day, only the first 200 entries will be guaranteed premium parking actually on the Dunton Test Track, so it's best to pre-book. We are already past the 100 mark so it is filling up rapidly!

Entry forms can be obtained from fundraising@sfh.org.uk, or directly from me at soaring.ace@btinternet.com . All of the profit from the show will go Saint Francis Hospice, a very worthy local charity.

We can stretch the deadline for another few days. Entry fee is £10 per car.

If you need an entry form, contact the Saint Francis Hospice fundraising team on 01708 771405 or fundraising@sfh.org.uk. or email me at soaring.ace@btinternet.com . Payment can be made over the phone by card on the above number if needed, although we do need Entry Forms completed to comply with regulations for Dunton.

Thanks

The weather is looking good for Sunday and although the premium classic car 'Track Parking' is now full with pre-booked cars, you can still turn up on the day and pay £10 per car on the gate - all proceeds to Saint Francis Hospice.

We will have extra parking in car park D, close to the Track, and the marshals will direct you there on the day.

We are setting up today, including getting the Caterham Drift Experience ready - come and have a ride in one of these great cars - the only thing we can guarantee is that you won't be travelling in a straight line for very long!!

We've already got a great turn-out so come along and join us tomorrow, Sunday 1st September at the Ford Technical Centre, Dunton, just off the A127 (postcode SS15 6EE) - and it's all for a really worthwhile local charity.

Thanks
