Good Luck on this charity event.

Not that its a “big deal” or anything but just out of curiosity, which charity is the money going too ? Or has it not been decided yet.

It does say in the original post.

It’s the Professional Drivers Foundation.

Might have to re-think my lgv test if i didnt even see that thanks anyway !

less than 24 hours to go - and a good few bids received, Don’t miss your chance and send me a PM before 9 pm tomorrow- you never know you may get a bargain

The winning bidder has been informed, if you bid and didn’t get a call from me today unfortunately you were outbid, but thank you for entering
More details will be posted when all the details and formalities are completed

Wish you’d hurry up , I can’t wait much longer

Pat

If you didn’t win this time… don’t be down heartened, talks are ongoing with at least one school to make this a bit more regular - and other schools may come on board ( that’s a hint BTW to some who we have let get away with free advertising for a good few years) - if it comes off that we can do this a couple times a year- all revenue will go to the charity- what better way to show your support than follow Peter Smythes Transport trainings example - if your up for it as a training provider PM me and lets talk about what we can do

Lets get some folks a bargain, raise your company profile - and raise a few quid for those of our own who need it

The Professional Drivers Foundation have received a cheque for £850 from Peter Smythe Transport Training as a result of the winning bid for this auction.

A magnificent effort all round.

Many thanks to all who bid, good luck to the winning bidder and of course a special thanks to
Peter Smythe Transport Training for donating this very special auction lot.

A good result all round.
