On 30th May 2015 we are running a relay from Lowestoft in Suffolk, the furthest point east in England, to St. David, the furthest point west in Wales. Under the event name of C2C (thanks to Geoff Grumble for coming up with that – you can take it as Coast to Coast or North Sea to Irish Sea), 7 teams of at least 3 drivers per team will carry a ‘baton’ in legs of approx. 50 miles. Now that the Xmas break is over we have to set to and get on with the organisation as quickly as possible but there is no point until we have the teams in place. One of the opportunities to take advantage of a situation will be lost in 10 days so if you can commit to taking part please let me know as soon as possible. Just let me know which leg you want to cover and let me have an email or phone number so that I can send details as they evolve

We will be issuing literature based on the following Flyer.
If anyone wants some specific paperwork please let me know.
Until I can work out how to increase the size of a graphic so it is readable this is what the main body of the flyer says.
This year, on Saturday the 30th May 2015 teams of members of the Marlin Owners car Club will run a relay from Lowestoft in Suffolk to St. Davids in Wales. The ‘baton’, a local Lowestoft delicacy, will be presented by {*********} to the first team, and ultimately handed over to {*********} at St. Davids.
The event is taking place to have fun, to raise awareness of the Marlin genre of cars and to raise money for the Parkinson’s UK research fund. It is estimated that some 120,000 folk in the UK are afflicted with this insidious condition and as of today, there is no known cure. As more and more brain cells are destroyed, people with the condition are slowly robbed of the ability to create the signals that control muscles – speech, hearing, digestion, balance, and general mobility. Only 30% of people with the condition exhibit tremors or shaking – the popular idea of what Parkinson’s is about but it is the overriding and ever increasing stiffness that the condition brings with it that is so distressing. It is bad enough to get the condition as an older person but it is particularly distressing to get it in your 20’s or 30’s knowing that you face a lifetime of slowly diminishing mobility. Ultimately, there is every chance that you will lose your driving license. Imagine not being able to drive your Marlin any more
Whether you can get involved in driving a leg of the relay or simply turn up at a changeover point to give encouragement – keep the date free in your diary

So how about it - surely we can get 20 to 30 members involved
