MSRVS miniature engine rally, Tewkesbury Glos

[David Powell]

This is a hobby. I sincerely hope there are NO charges made to allow anyone interested to have a drive of a model.
As one who regularly lets, indeed encourages, others to drive, or in the case of smaller children, steer while I walk alongside and drive, I would NEVER dream of charging.
Besides which, by charging likely insurance would likely become more complex.
Naomi, get yourself over here and you can drive any of our engines as much as you like !

My insurance actually specifically says I can have fare paying passengers

That's useful to know actually.... I would like to charge for rides on mine (at certain events) - but proceeds will purely to go to a cancer charity... The Foster I am building is being named after my mum, Suzanne, who died in December after a 2 year battle with ovarian cancer - so I wanted a unique way of raising money for charity.... (I've already braved the shave and gone sober for October for MacMillan.... but thought this would be different; and the money will be going to Target Ovarian Cancer) <3

Look forward to meeting you at the weekend, Andy.

There is NO charge for the driver experience sessions. Our intention is to ask (NOT DEMAND!) for a small donation to our nominated charity. We have (at the last count) 4 engines and drivers willing to offer drives under instruction. Badge and certificate for completion. My wife Chris and I will be manning the club stand on both days (late start for us on Saturday however !) if you come to the stand and ask for Grum or Chris Swales we will sort the rest out for you. Will even loan gloves and safety glasses as required by our risk assessment.

Look forward to seeing you at the weekend!

Unfortunately I'll be 32miles (as the crow flys) to the east at the Bloxham Rally near Newbury all weekend, so many rallys and not enough weekends

Oh! That’s a shame

I should check the map before you go... You won't even be in the right county...!

I hope to go to the Banbury "do", I may see you there!

Was just a quick google line on the map so not at all accurate

I hear what you are saying, but some organisations do charge for driver experiences, so I'd have hated to assume it would be free... even a small fee wouldn't be unreasonable, just to cover coal costs etc.... but if there is a price to pay, I wanted to make sure I had the cash on me.... and if it is free, then that will be brilliant.....

and thank you for your kind offer.... I do hope our paths will cross, one day! x
