£5New Year’s Day Run
We will again be holding our New Year’s Day Run in conjunction with the Sturminster Newton New Year’s Day Vintage and Classic Vehicle Run. The event, which is sponsored by Harts of Stur, is a charity event benefitting the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance.
Vehicles entering the main event are required to pre-book and are expected to arrive and be on display in the Station car park at Sturminster Newton from 9.00am. The run usually attracts an assortment of very interesting cars and it is well worth wandering round to see the vehicles and chat to the owners. The planned departure for the cars to take part in a scenic run is from 11am.
VMCC Members and friends who wish to take part in the VMCC Dorset Section’s Run usually arrive from 10am, but come earlier should you wish. Bikes should be parked on the pavement in Station Road opposite the Poets Corner Cafe. (Please do not park in the Hansons Fabrics and Crafts car park). You will be asked to sign-on on the day and for a minimum charity donation of £5 to place your motorcycle on display and/or go on the run. In return you will receive a voucher from sponsors, Harts of Stur, to the value of £5 to be spent in the store. Participants on the run are expected to leave from 10.45am; fifteen minutes before the cars.
The Run will follow a scenic route from the Poets Corner Cafe to The Halsey Arms at Pulham. The route has not yet been fixed but a distance of some 35 miles is proposed; the direct main road route, should we have bad weather, is 8 miles. Whether on the run or socialising we hope you will join us at The Halsey. The pub is offering carvery meals at £13.95 for the standard portion and £11.95 for a smaller portion; the vegetarian option is £7.95. If you would like a meal please book in advance. I will have a booking form available at our club night buffet evening this coming Wednesday. If not attending the buffet, please telephone, 01258 721356, or email, corgiking@aol.com, and let me know your requirements.
There are three flyers attached (below) with more details on the event.
