[Gumball]

fOLKS

I was in a place this afternoon where there was talk between a couple of people regarding a cannonball/gumball/bullrun style event forthcoming in the next few months!!!!

Does anyone know anything about this event, and if so please start replying to build up the thread so some of us can do it!!!!

From what ive heard, theres a 1200 mile run from the above mentioned locations. open to all top cars (not just Scoobys) and is destined to be another memorable experience.

i should have taken more notice of the name of the event...............................................

GUMBALL3000

The Screwball Rally

The Screwball is for all makes and models of cars, modified or not, although modified would be better. Also its for the people like my self who have watched things like the Gumball, Cannonball run ect but can't afford the massive entry fee.

Screwball will begin on the Thursday 30th of June from John O Groats, but entrants and passangers must be at the hotel the day before (Wednesday 29th) to regester, this will also give the Screwballers a chance to get to know each other. On Thursday we will drive from John O Goats to Birmingham, sounds like a peace of cake when you read it like that, but it aint, its a 576 mile journey, give or take a couple.

It will be a long drive but thats what its all about, if your reading this and having doubts then stop reading cause this run aint for you, this run is for the real car enthusiasts its not for the faint hearted.

You will arrive at the hotel in Birmingham and have a well earned rest, you will need it. The next morning, Friday 1st of July the cars will leave at the same time and start the last leg of the journey, a round trip from Birmingham to Lands End and back to Birmingham, which is 600 miles. And that will be the end of the journey, 1200 Mile road trip, on the Saturday 2nd of July you can relax have a well diserved drink with the rest of the Screwballers and tell each other all the stories from the first ever top to bottom Screwball Rally.

And not to forget you will also have Max power live show to go to. Entry fee to the Screwball covers either option 1 or 2, which ever is chosen will include 4 nights in hotels, breakfasts each morning and tickets to Max- power live.

CHARITY

Charity 1 - Child advocacy international- helps kids in poorer countries get medical help, education etc.

Charity 2 - Marie Curie cancer care

Also each person in the event will receive a sponsor sheet to raise some cash for the charities, doesn't have to be alot, even if you go round your freinds and family, everything counts.
