Raising funds for St Rocco’s Hospice &
St Joseph’s Family Centre in Warrington
and End Polio Now
The rules of the rally are that cars have
to be either 20 years old or cost less than
£333!
Members of the Warrington Rotary Club
wanted to raise monies for charity and to
raise the profile of the Rotary Club. We
read on Twitter that there was a banger
rally going to Venice and that 40 plus
cars were going on a five day adventure
through eight European countries in
September. Some were for charity, some
were just going on a trip for a laugh.
We start the rally from Warrington and
end up in Venice, approximately 1200
miles one way.
We thought “we could do that”.
Three cars have been entered with various
Rotarians driving and navigating and in
addition we are telling the story through
social media to as we go along.
The Warrington Rotary cars will leave St
Rocco’s on Friday 4th September at 12
noon after a fitting send off. We will drive
through eight countries, including the
Uk, France, Netherlands, Luxembourg,
Germany, Austria, Belgium and Italy.
Enroute we will visit the famous
Nurburgring plus drive up and down the
Stelvio and Timnelsjoch passes as well
as visiting the Lamborghini and Ferrari
Museums.
We have a number of sponsors
and have raised monies by hosting
several events.
We have a target of £4,500 and still
need support to get us there.
If you can help please donate
through Just Giving or by contacting
Irene on 07715396636 to make a
donation.
