It has to be said a big thanks to Stewart Gordon and Brian Woods who have put in an enormous amount of time and energy in the build up to this very worthwhile cause and it has not gone unrecognized the amount of work etc that has been done well done Guys!!!!!! Also a big thank you to everyone who is attending the day weather it be the driver’s or those who are helping with the fine tuning on the day. I am confident the day will raise a lot of worthwhile funds for CCLASP in order that the children will have many fun days out now and in time to come. This will be a day for all to enjoy and never a better feeling of a convoy of 50 Porsches would you not agree!! The only thing is I hope it does not piss with rain!!!! Look forward to seeing you all this Sunday for what will be a great day out!!
