Group’s Spanish trip in a ‘banger for cash’
Five-day driving expedition to raise funds for Saint Catherine’s
A group of Scarborough friends are on a trip from Essex to Benidorm in their “banger” to raise vital funds for Saint Catherine’s Hospice.
George Oseland, Matthew Walpole, Josef Galinski, Barry Galinski, Andy Cunningham and George’s dad Gary Oseland, set off on Tuesday and are making their way to Benidorm in their Volkswagen Sharan.
The Benidorm Bangers Team BB10 are driving to Benidorm through France, Andorra and Spain over five days to raise money for the hospice.
Before setting off, George, whose grandma was cared for by Saint Catherine’s 10 years
ago, said: “We’re really looking forward to the trip, it was originally planned in for 2020 but the pandemic has meant it’s been delayed two years now.
“I’ve got first-hand experience of the great work Saint Catherine’s do in our local
community and we wanted to use this opportunity to raise money for such a wonderful charity.
“We’ve already had such amazing support from friends and family and can’t wait to get going now!”
George and the group thanked Des Winks for their generosity in the maintenance of the car for two years while the event was postponed, making sure the car got through its MoT tests.
They also thanked everyone who has sponsored their car for the trip, including CH Builders, M Nockels Butchers, Newlands Park Hotel, Whitehall Hardware Ltd, The Bryherstones, Firmac, FES, Firth Sheet Metal, Owzat Cricket, Partridge Plastering, North Sea Winches, Allenchrome Electroplating, MKM, City Plumbing, J Kemp Plumbing, ECS Electrical, Marson & Co, Garnett Electrical, Unison, Electrical Network and James Hargreaves Plumbing Depot.
