ESC Tunnel Run IV - 27th October 2007
OK this is it the official thread for THE event on the ESC calendar
It's time for the annual ESC Tunnel Run
If you've never been before it is one of the biggest events of the year and last year we had Scooby owners from as far afield as Cornwall and Birmingham
Last year we had at least 130 cars including the mad, bad Zen Performance machine
We take in the dartford tunnel, limehouse link and blackwall tunnel. A quick stop at McDonalds and then back again.
Bring a map because someone gets lost every year
A route will be posted shortly.........
Whose coming then?

Important note.
As you know we are using this event as a fund raiser for our favourite charity. The Essex Air Ambulance.
Last year we were able to raise over £500 for them thanks to everyones generous donations (and Vegas' employers HSBC
This year we will once again asking for donations. Its not an entrance fee but we will be standing at the entrance with our collecting buckets
Nothing is compulsory, its all entirely voluntary but we would like to achieve something in the region of £5-00 per car. Most of you will have passengers so this shouldn't be too difficult. Any loose change would be appreciated so bring your loose change pots with you
Remember to keep lots of spare £1-00 coins for the tunnel though
Hope you understand.
