25,000 miles in an A7 to bring extra to special kids

Hi, we’re Eunice Kratky (EK) and Guy Butcher (GB) Our crazy plan is to drive a 1930’s Austin Seven from New York to Alaska before turning south to Tierra del Fuego. The total distance is expected to be about 25,000 miles or 40,000 kilometres. We’re setting off in 2012, which is also the 90th Anniversary of the first Austin 7.Through this adventure we wish to raise funds to help children & young people with special or additional needs and their families. To achieve this, we have set up bespk.com (Bringing Extra to SPecial Kids) – a non profit organisation. The target is to raise £1 million pounds. All personal costs will be funded by ourselves. For further information, regular updates, and to donate, please click to our website at www.bespk.com Or you can email us at info@bespk.com Or phone us on 01752 840683.

 

 

 

MOLENTOCHT 2012

Thursday 24th May and return on Monday 28th May

After the success of the 2011 Molentocht when 21 U.K cars travelled to Holland to take part in the 23rd Molentocht in Goes, Zeeland south-west Holland, we have decided to return in 2012. This event is a major event in the European classic car calendar and attracts entrants from across the continent. The 2012 event will take place on the 27th of May and the Dutch are keen to see the British return to Goes. As in previous years the organising committee have put together a weekend of activities starting with a reception to be held on Friday evening in the Lunch Café in the Town Hall. Transport to and from this and Saturday night’s event will be provided. Saturday looks set to be a busy day with visits to various local attractions with the evening being spent at a popular restaurant. Sunday sees the highlight of the weekend—the Molentocht, which is a run of around 90Km along country lanes and dike roads with various stops at places of interest followed by a farewell dinner at the Hotel Goes. We intend to travel to Goes on Thursday 24th May and return on Monday 28th May travelling either by North Sea Ferries from Hull to Zeebrugge or Harwich to Hoek van Holland, whilst those in the South can travel from Dover to Dunkerque. If you would like to take part in what promises to be memorable motoring weekend then please contact us on 01423 780060 for further details. The official website is: www.molentochtgoes.nl.  Dave and Maggie Dickinson e-mail: dickinsond@btinternet.com
