​It was with an air of eager anticipation that members of the Bexhill 100 Motoring Club gathered at September’s monthly meeting for the presentation of cheques to representatives of the club’s four chosen charities, and to hear the financial results following our August bank holiday car show.

 

Charlie Rowland announced that despite the wet start to the day, gate receipts had exceeded all previous expectations with a record sum of £22,000 taken, resulting in the club’s donations to local charities to date now being £180,000.

 

Chairman Chris, Bexhill & Battle MP Kieran Mullen and Bexhill Councillor Abdul Azad were delighted to present cheques for £5500 to Canine Partners, Golden Marigold Club, East Sussex Fire Cadets (Bexhill) and East Sussex Young Carers.

 

Chris reminded members that 2025 will see the 20th anniversary of the club’s Classic & Custom Car Show, and the success of this year's event confirms we are on track to reach our intended target of £200,000 next year - watch this space!
