I'm posting the following Europa Club notice on behalf of Frank Mycroft:
Last year, at very short notice, the Europa Club provided drivers for a
very successful Bus Service at the PFA Rally. However, although the weather
was perfect and the Rally was a great success as an event, financially it
was not a success, and all those involved have been asked to see where they
can cut costs. Hiring two buses was quite expensive, so I put out feelers
to those who drove last year about whether they would be prepared to use
their own cars, being re-imbursed only for fuel. The response was very
positive so I have decided to go ahead on that basis.
I am therefore looking for more volunteer drivers prepared to use their own
cars to form a taxi rank from 4.30 to 6.30 on Friday and/or Saturday
evenings, and (and this is essential for the plan to work) to pick up the
same people and bring them back to the Rally the following morning.
This will be a FREE taxi service so for insurance purposes you will be
driving for pleasure, and it really is a pleasure to give a lift to grateful
foreign flyers, or others who have come a long way by air to the Rally.
Many of you will be flying in to the Rally, and I would not want to be the
cause of reduced numbers of Europas on display, but perhaps you can persuade
your better half to bring your car along so that you can have the best of
both worlds.
If you would like to help in this way please drop me an e-mail at
<frankm@clara.net> telling me whether you will be able to do Friday evening +
Saturday morning or Saturday evening + Sunday morning, or even both.
regards
Rowland
