National Daffodil Day Rally for Cancer

Sunday 20th August

It’s now all go for Daffodil Day, and the advertising material is starting to get out there. Please book this date on your calendar, and if you are involved in any One-Make or other motoring clubs please ensure your club committee is aware of this date as well. Just like last year, it will be an open event suitable for any vehicle, whether veteran, vintage, classic (old or new) or a collectible vehicle or motorcycle. It’s also open to any member of the public to come along and enjoy in their modern vehicle if they wish, or just come to Cutler Park to see the vehicles arrive and/or on display. This year the event will once again start by meeting in 4 locations at 10.00am:

Rangiora at the Southbrook Park in South Belt

New Brighton Club in Marine Parade

Cashmere Club in Colombo Street

Rolleston in the Park’n’Ride car park beside the Selwyn District Council offices in Norman Kirk Drive.

All runs will have short and long routes with slight variations on last year’s routes, each converging at Cutler Park no later than 12.00 noon, where all cars will be on public display for the early afternoon. There will also be BBQ food available to purchase for lunch at the clubrooms. A donation (suggested as at least $10 per car) will be collected on arrival at Cutler Park. All proceeds will be passed on directly to the Canterbury/West Coast branch of the Cancer Society. There will be prizes for Best American, British, European, Japanese, Australian, motorcycle, Best Dressed, and Cancer Society personality’s choice.

We will also be running two raffles – a meat raffle, and this year we have also been donated a brand-new large “Oaklahoma Joe’s” Smoker and BBQ which will be another raffle prize. Also, a special thanks to those who have already offered to help with the organisation on the day. I could still do with a few more– especially at the start venues, and at Cutler Park as the cars arrive after the runs. Please contact me on 021 883 807 or by email on heywolseley699@gmail.com if you can help.
