My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

St Austell and District Round Table would like to invite you to enter our first ever Banger Rally from Cornwall to Monte Carlo.

This is an opportunity of a life time and will give you a trip to remember, driving on some of Europe's finest and most scenic roads. The only snag is that your car has to cost around a measly £500.

Teams are invited to raise money for our two main charities Cornwall Hospice Care (Mount Edgcumbe Hospice) and Bosom Buddies (Local breast cancer charity) or you could raise money for your own Charity/Organisation but we don't make it a condition of entry.

The rally will start on Thursday 29th September leaving The Cornwall Hotel at 6pm and finishing in Monte Carlo on Sunday 2nd October. You will need to allow a further day to dispose of your car and fly home or challenge yourself and drive back home. We think 4 days charging about the English, French, Swiss, Italian countryside in a rubbish car will definitely be a trip to remember.

To keep you and your passengers amused there will be several tasks to perform en route to earn bonus points, but if you just want to cruise through the countryside without taking part then that's just as cool with us too. Remember rule number 1, this is categorically not a race across Europe, but a leisurely drive by like-minded people, and there will be no advantage in arriving first. Managing to coax your chosen wreck to the finish point should be reward enough but at the final night's presentation ceremony, a cash prize will be awarded to the team scoring the most
points in each of the daily tasks and the overall winner will also receive a cash prize and a suitable trophy!

An additional prize will be awarded by vote, for the best decorated paint scheme, and at the organiser’s discretion anything else that takes our fancy. Although every one who takes part is a winner, each participant will also be provided with an appropriately rubbish medal memento on finishing.

The route and stop over points will be confirmed with each team leader well in advance so that you can book your hotels, camping, Eurotunnel etc.

You are now probably thinking, will there be support on route! you are joking surely? You really would not appreciate it if we deprived you of the uncertainty each day on whether you chosen chariot will make it to the next checkpoint, let alone start in the morning. Breaking down miles from anywhere, on a mountain pass in a strange country must be top banana in the entertainment stakes and worth the entry fee alone as I’m sure several teams will testify when they arrive back home!

With all this excitement you’re probably wondering how much this will cost to enter! The cost will be £250, which is based on two people sharing a car; additional passengers will be charged at £60 per person. Entrance fee includes welcoming and finishing party, t-shirts, maps, route plan, prize money, three nights camping, mementoes and a whole lot more. Entries are limited to 60 cars and to guarantee a place a deposit of £100 per car is required to confirm a place in this much sought after event.

A good cause, but the fact that Alison can sleep in a two man tent with Mike and his flatulence problems makes it a heroic effort.
