Pistol Pete Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 My parents neighbor is involved in the local Mencap charity and are arranging a car evening for children and young adults they care for. The evrninh basically involved letting them have their picture taken sitting in the car and a few passenger ride around the playground. Last year everyone who joined in had a great evening and went home with a warm glow of giving something back. The kids/young adults thoroughly enjoy the evening and you couldn’t meet a nicer, happier bunch of young adults. We have been invited back this year, so as long as you don’t mind them touching/getting in your car (with help from you) you will find the evening a very rewarding experience. So a shout out to all the Essex members, pop your name down if you would like to join in with this. 1/ Pete Westy2/ Pete’s Dad MGB Event DetailsTuesday 30th June 2014 from 7pm until 9pmMelbourne Park Primary School, Chelmsford CM1 2DX A bit about the CharityChelmsford Mencap - Understanding Learning Disabilities ProfileCHELMSFORD MENCAP is a registered charity (No.245421) established in 1965 that helps children and adults with learning disabilities who may also have life limiting and terminal illnessess.

Pistol Pete Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 No problem Dave. After a couple of years they appear to be quite taken with the Westies and not as interested in the tin tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin (Mr T) Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Would love to have done this Pete, grew up 300 yards from the school, but I fly out to Crete that afternoon. Will always be up for something like this, if the opportunity arises again. Kevin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Pete Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 Also just to add that there is no pressure to give passenger rides, if you want to just park up and let them sit in your car that fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
