ROTARY CLUB TO HOST TENTH CHARITY CLASSIC CAR SHOW IN AUGUST
The team at an East Yorkshire Rotary Club has organised a classic car show to raise funds for a York cancer charity.
Weighton Wolds Rotary Club will hold its tenth annual Classic Car Show at Langlands Garden Centre in Shiptonthorpe, on Sunday 25th August, and Monday 26th August, in aid of York Against Cancer.
Organisers expect over 200 classic cars to be on display daily over the two-day event, including a prewar Wolsey Hornet, an Austin London Taxi, and some modern-day classics, a Ford Capri and Morris Minors.
Classic car enthusiast and Weighton Wolds Rotary Club member, John Ducker is looking forward to the event.
“We’re pleased with the calibre of classic cars that we attract to our shows,” he said.
“We are looking forward to this year’s event and to welcoming classic cars from East, West and South Yorkshire.
“We’ve come a long way since our first show when we had 25 cars on display. Over the years, our classic car shows have raised over £25,000 for various charities including Alzheimer’s Society and Yorkshire Air Ambulance, so we’re hopeful that this event will raise a significant amount of money to help York Against Cancer to fund their vital work.
“Last year we had over 1,000 visitors across the two days and raised over £5,000 for the charity.
“We’ve always got room to display more cars, so if you’re a classic car owner and would like to join us on either or both days, please email me at jcdandemd@btinternet.com.”
The Classic Car Show will take place between 10am and 4pm on 25th and 26th August at Langlands, Shiptonthorpe.
All are welcome, and entry is by donation, with all proceeds going to York Against Cancer.
Weighton Wolds Rotary Club became a chartered Rotary Club in 2014 and its members have raised £110,000 since the club’s inception.
The club raises funds for charities and for the Club’s own charity account from which local bequests are made.
