Sunday 20th July - The Committee of the Fleetwood Transport Festival (known locally as ÒTram SundayÓ) cordially invite you along with all of your vehicles to attend the 2008 event. Our event, now entering its 24th year, is particularly unique as it is set in the historic town centre roads rather than on a muddy field. Fleetwood is a seaside location very close to Blackpool, Lancashire, and the event not only attracts enthusiasts but a 30,000-strong, wide variety of visitors including young families - introducing them to the joys that classic vehicles can bring. We have a HUGE number of trade stands at the event which runs from 10am until 4pm. The event currently attracts around 60 buses, 180 cars, 20-30 motorbikes and a wide variety of other specialist and exciting vehicles (last year this included a monster truck), however we would like your help with building on this figure!! Attendance as an exhibitor or a visitor is entirely FREE. All exhibitors are presented with a commemorative plaque. Please contact me for entry forms or if you have any questions. We like to think that the event is fairly club friendly due to the fact that it involves the whole family, we have ample space, there are plenty of shops and cafŽs and the fact that we are used to accommodating clubs together.

Sunday 27th July - DONOR CARD GT, Brooklands Museum, Weybridge, Surrey. Legendary rally driver, Paddy Hopkirk, flags off the cars on the 2007 Donor Card GT. Announcing the seventh annual Donor Card Gran Turismo! Starting from Brooklands Museum, Weybridge, Surrey, the event will be flagged off by legendary rally driver Paddy Hopkirk, who will sign your rally plate for a small donation to the charity. Designed as the first step in rallying, the GT is a technical drive similar in content to a rally, but without the timing element. A tulip-style road book is provided with full directions, containing the distance between each junction and the overall mileage. Part of the route is dedicated to a jogularity section, where you are given directions via landmarks at given distances. A brilliant event and a fantastic opportunity to develop your navigational skills. A route book is provided and is all you need to navigate the sections (road maps are handy if you are lost). Any car can be entered, no special equipment is necessary and no special licence is required. However, you are encouraged to carry your Donor Card. Entry cost is £95 per car, with the proceeds going to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. To enter, call Continental Car Tours on 01304 380244 with debit card details or email admin@continentalcartours.co.uk for an entry form and regulations. Too far to come for the day? Continental Car Tours can arrange an overnight stay in a nearby four star hotel for £99 per double room, including breakfast.
