Announcement Help needed.

Help needed.

OK folks, I am just going to explain what I am seeking. Its very easy.. its your passenger seat and some time. If you have not been aware, I support a forces charity called Help 4 Heros which gives support to injured service personal from our great armed forces. Not far from us here is Tedworth House, a place where these good people get support and much needed help. It is a residential home up in Tidworth near Andover.

Now the idea is that a few of us take a few of these good people out for a drive around the lovely countryside and stop for a afternoon tea. Then take them back home to Tedworth House. So its basically giving a little time and your passenger seat to say thank you.

I am hoping once I have a rough idea of number that we might get afternoon tea at one of the local bases on Salisbury Plain too.

So who is willing to give some time next summer for a great cause?

Happy to join in Paul.

Have a word with Thruxton and give up your driver's seat (for those that are able).

I'm sure that a word in the right ear and a bit of good advertising could persuade them to give you a free trackday. You would probably have to pay for marshalling and recovery services, but even that could be donated by the suppliers.

I'd consider coming down if there were enough interest.

Make it known to other enthusiasts (Aston Martin, Ferrari owners' clubs etc.). Pistonheads would be a good place to start.

I've heard of this sort of thing being done, but usually based at empty RAF camps, such as Marham.

Good luck with your efforts.

 

[TaffDaddy]

Put me down for it please Paul. More than happy to join if I can make the date/s.

@Pingu Its more a leisurely drive as these guys are recovering from some things I would dare not contemplate. Good idea though too.

Mike and David, thank you I will add you to the list. I will when I have an idea of numbers speak to Tedworth and get more information on dates.

 

[Bazza]

Paul it would be a privilege to help mate count me in

 

[ZTec]

Hi Paul, count me in.

 

[roadvoyager1]

Can only applaud what you are doing. I think its a great way to show appreciation.
Unfortunately, I am over 300 miles and at least a 6 hour drive away from you so not in a position to offer much more than my encouragement.
Hope you get plenty of offers from the local Zeders.

 

[andyglym]

Stick me down mate. I'll make best efforts to be in the UK on the dates you provide.

[Mint]

Paul, brilliant idea, please count me in.

 

[PHILIP BAXTER]

Count me in please Paul, it would be an honour.

 

[Mrs Mint]

As Dave as said brilliant idea Paul
I am more than happy to give up my seat, i'm sure myself and Jan can find something to do to while away our time wallets at the ready @Mint and @Bazza

 

[Mint]

...wallets at the ready @Mint and @Bazza...

 

[pgunter]

@Mrs Mint I thought you might like to sit and chat with the guys at Tedworth House before getting a lift to where we are going to have afternoon Tea.. might be an Army truck...

 

[Mrs Mint]

Sounds like a plan @pgunter i'm sure i could find something to bore them oops i mean talk to them about lol
ok @Mint and @Bazza you can relax put your wallets away

 

[Redline]

Let me talk to work when I'm back. The company is a very big supporter of Help for Heroes and based in Winchester. Might be able to get something extra. Got lots of ex forces working for us too. Hopefully some willing helping hands if needed.
As soon as you have some dates let us know.

 

[DaveP]

Hi there,

I'm game if I can make the dates so add me to the list. I might not be driving a pure Z3 by then so this may limit my suitability.

Dave

 

[GazHyde]

I'm up for this Paul

 

[TaffZee]

What a great idea, without dates it is difficult to commit to this at the moment, but will watch for the dates in the future, will be happy to help out.
