Hi, The Motor Club is The 'Sporting Bears', web site is:-

http://www.sportingbears.co.uk/

We gave 'Dream Rides', (10 miles on the public roads), as the club calls them at the Classic Car Show at the NEC & in 3 Days the Club raised just over £32,000. All the cash raised goes to childrens charities. The club is funded by members subscriptions & the end of each year there is normaly some cash over from running the club & this is put into the charity fund.

We get a real kick from the folks who ride in our cars with the smiles on their faces when the ride is finished.

The club is country wide & raises money at various events throught the country.

The club has been running for around 22 years & at the NEC they hit the £1 million raised in that time.

All the best,

Brian.

I do the Stroke Association Supercar Saturday, done it for 3 years now, we take paying rides around Castle Combe and all proceeds go to charity.

It's great to be fair
