A brilliant day out, thanks from all at PCGB for the invite. Well done to all those who put their hands in pockets to raise over £1000 for Julia's House. :D

A big thank you from Haley and I for making us so welcome this weekend.

The Fun Day was very enjoyable and to raise over £1000 for the Hospice was a fantastic achievement. The auction was definately the right thing to do, the bidding was fun and Karey wielded the biggest gavel (mallet) I have ever seen.

Thanks to the generousity of the attendees the auction raised nearly £700.

Sam had the BBQ smoking all day and cooked a mean burger with caramalised onions, well done mate. Glad I had the extra sausage it took over 4 hours to get home.

Brett was juggling his raffle tickets and won half the prizes.

Finally Nick and Karey, I don't think they would mind me saying that they were a little anxious about how everything would pan out when we chatted about the event at the Quay on Friday.

You needn't have worried you did a fabulous job and you should be really proud of the amount that was raised and how the day went.

Here's a few more photo's of some cars.

Well we certainly had great weather for the day!

Lots of people to thank...... our main sponsors, Toyo Tyres, Jon Mitchell, Porsche Centre Bournemouth, Halfords and Mithril Racing also the early team that set everything up, Sam for .a brilliant job on the BBQ, Karey for doing so much to make the day success and Sean for helping Jon with the judging.
I would also like to thank all the people who came along to support the event.

The children’s hospice Julia’s House is delighted that TIPEC raised so much for the children

Just a big THANKYOU from me. Great weather, great cars, great company, an absolutely great event. Made some new friends, and caught up with some old. Darren who came with me (from a rival manufacturer :| ) was made very welcome and enjoyed it a lot. Burgers were especially tasty this year and I actually won a few prizes in the raffle :D My daughter Chloe is very pleased with her TIPEC cap. Great idea to split prizes between an Auction and Raffle. Thanks again to Nick, Karey, Sam and to everyone I met.

That looks fantastic & a great result on what you raised for charity. I'd loved to have come to this but had already organised an event for SELNK.
