Ladies Driving Challenge 2009

Ever wanted to drive a fire engine?

No problem, the Ladies Driving Challenge is coming... to Norfolk.
Ever wondered what it’s like driving a fire engine? Never been behind the wheel of a bus? What does a combined harvester handle like?

If you’ve ever wanted to know the answer, or are just up for a challenge then we have just the event for you.

In July Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service is teaming up with the Firefighters Charity (formerly the Benevolent Fund) to offer a unique experience which puts the fun into fundraising.

Following the huge success of last year's event  we are holding  our second  Ladies Driving Challenge  on  Sunday 12 July 2009 a few miles north of Norwich, giving women the chance to drive a host of weird and wonderful vehicles, from fire engines (guaranteed) to police cars, sports cars to HGVs and buses.

Everyone taking part will definitely get to drive a fire engine and three other vehicles from the assorted number on site.  Last year there was plenty of time for more drives for everyone and we hope that this year will be the same!!

There will be instruction from a qualified driver and then it’s over to the drivers.

All you have to do to take part is:

contact Laura Harden (07798725560)   LHarden@firefighterscharity.org.uk
then
send in your £10 entry fee.
raise a minimum of £90 in sponsorship.
be over the age of 17 with a full driving licence

If you can meet all of the above then we can't wait to see you! Come and join in the fun during either the morning or afternoon sessions.

We are looking to raise thousands for two very worthy charities, the Firefighters Charity  and Help for Heroes which are both excellent charities doing great work.

Refreshments will be available on the day and there will be plenty of shelter should the great British weather intervene.

So please, help spread the word and help raise thousands for two very worthwhile causes
