The 2011 Wallingford Vehicle Rally and Parade was a great success with over 200 vehicles of all sorts and sizes, from Triumphs and MGs to motorbikes and nitro methanol drag cars, with up to 2000 people from all around visiting throughout the day.
The rally is always a relaxed affair, with no fixed start and finish times, free entry to the public and only a modest charge for parade vehicle entries. All the donations and proceeds collected during the day go to a wide variety of local charities. This year our principal charity was SeeSaw, who provide bereavement support for children. You can find out more about their work at www.seesaw.org.uk
One of the highlights of the rally is the parade of vehicles through the streets of historic Wallingford in Oxfordshire, headed-up this year by the Wallingford Mayor Bernard Stone and BBC Oxford presenter Geraldine Peers. This unique feature allows the public to see the rally vehicles on the road, after which they assemble at the Kinecroft public green in the middle of the town.
A new feature for 2011 was our Charity Car Rides, which gave our visitors the opportunity to ride in the car of their dreams. At the end of the day the Charity Car Rides raised over £300, which is fantastic for our first time. The Ferrari 355 Spider was one of the star attractions, and the looks on the faces of the people taken out was priceless. Other cars included a Triumph Stag, Aston Martin DB7, Mitsubishi Evolution 7 and a vintage Rolls Royce.
We would like to thank everybody who attended and participated on the day, especially the bucket collectors and SeeSaw charity volunteers. Thanks to their efforts, the rally this year has not only broken all records for the eight years it has been running, but totally smashed the record with an total raised of over £3500!!
