21st july down motor ways to preston and stay the night
22nd to the agm at uttoxeter until the 24th

whilst doing this i would appreciate some assistance in the event of any problem with the car, mind you i am in the aa,
if any volunteers then if you pm me with your location and tel number/email.
  also if people are not going to agm then they can pm me or email me to say they can meet on the way, i wll post a full itinerary and route later.
i will be making a photo album therefore if you are planning to meet me on the way or at the agm can you bring along a signed photo of your car

Nice one Haydn, its been a long time in the planning I know.

On 21st July, where are you staying in Preston? There will be a few of us driving down to Uttoxeter on the Friday morning so we need to sort something out so we can go together.

Haydn how can folks sponsor you for this great event and worthy cause?

Good luck with it Haydn.

Im sure the golf will take it all in its stride.

As A5OPY said, how do we sponsor you?

Excellent !!! Will keep an eye on your route to see if and when you are around the mids area maybe catch up and support you, the "just giving" site for charity and sponsorship donations is good a few of my mates who did the london marathon for Help for Heroes,

Well done for your cause.

Dave.

Spot on, sounds like a great plan, get your route posted up when you set off and if you are near
me at any stage, will pop along and say hello!.

Take care.

Sounds like a hoot.. I think we should do something as a club like this.. What a great event that would be…  

We could have a "Golf ball run"

Maybe have challenges along the way to get certain trophy items.. What do you lot think?..
