A mk1 meet for cancer research and a very good friend
He loves his golfs and more so the mk1's.
Recently his family have taken him to blackpool for days out, but his sister has asked me if i could organise a mk1 golf cruise for dave where he can relax and enjoy a drive and a chat and look at the golfs, has i have not been able to see him for 2 week due to doing my car and he loves going for a drive in my mk1, he also has a mk2 himself, which he no longer can drive.
He will be with me in mine and his family will be following.
I just want something good for him to enjoy, something not too far away from manchester, a crusie to blackpool for example on a weekend day.
I would like also if someone could organise after next week for it to happen and as many mk1's to join up.
Plus raise money for cancer research, i have never done this before and would for guidance and help from the experienced members.
Best wishes
pete :wink:

If I can't make it I'll definitely make a donation though.
Once you've got a date you could get something like the local radio station on board to advertise it and maybe attend. Our local station has something called black thunder. A black jeepy thing that comes out and does a bit of a short broadcast live from the event. Ups the interest and hopefully the money coming in.
You could also try to get your local VW dealership on board as a sponsor.
Good luck. :wink:

If i was you i might try to avoid the Easter weekends as some folk might be going away like me.
if i can attend i will defiantly be there no doubt Blackpool cruise sound very appealing as we have a few guys up that neck of the woods.
i think the first step is find a date and stick with it the main problems you will have is that someone will always say i"I can make it then I've got Football etc" you have to be firm to the dates place and time once you have decided if you don't it will become very messy and if someone cant make it thats the way it goes, you will not be able to please everyone.
but I'm sure for this cause everyone will pull out the stops for you and your mate.

Also could someone design a flyer for this event so it can be displayed on both buckets and car windows and uploaded to teh site in order for members to print them out.
It would be of much great help and appreciated if members who can attend on the day bring their own bucket in order to collect funds.
I would like all members to drive from the north shore to the south shore and visa versa collecting.
If someone could arrange a meetup point in blackpool before the event as i am not very good on the area.
A time of 14.30hrs is the time to attend at the meeting point to be arrange shortly.
Also if conveys can be arranged so we can travel down as one
i am also advertising this on other websites, so to try and raise as much as possible, i have contacted mk2 golf owners also.
Thanks so much
Pete

anyone on here a sign writer who can do a banner for the day?
i'm up for it. a venue will need to be found in blackpool that can accomedate 10+ vehicles (not worth it with any less) and be on the front somewhere to get people passing.
either that or talk to somewhere like tatton park or even c and f again.
as for collection buckets a quick trip to b&q for maybe 5 buckets and a peice of wood to make the top up for it.
first step get intouch with cancer research to get there approval so you can use there symbol.

10+, i am hoping 100+ lol, i will bring 5 buckets myself, so if anyone can not get one, i will pass you one.
I will be contacting cancer research 1st thing in the morning, also i have been told by tony from mk2 club that i should also be contacting blackpool tourist board to inform them of what will be happening on the specified date.
If you can sort flyers, that will be very much appreciated
Also members that can come can you please put down your usernames so i can inform blackpool tourist board if alot of cars are to attend

I know you're just wanting to go out and collect and it means a lot to you but I'm sure it's all preferable to going out and being told not to collect because you haven't jumped through the council's many hoops.
I haven't looked into it but there may be some form of liaison at Cancer Research UK who can tell you what you need to do or possibly help out? just a thought.
Hope that helps. Dave.

You now need to find a good place to meet you need somewhere everyone can find, somewhere with a big car park either on route or somewhere close to Blackpool.
Ive looked at this and really you would need somewhere either just of the M55 jnc 2 or at the end of the M55.
If it was me i would suggest the end of the M55 it turns into a raised road called Yeadon way if you stay on this it will take you to Bloomfield road football ground where there is a large car park opposite the football ground, don't worry I've checked the fixture list and Blackpool are playing away that day.
some areas may wish to meet up close to their homes and go up in mini convoys like we did for the Buxton meet.
just my idea of a place to meet, form this carpark its easy to get onto the front and up and down the prom.
