Winter Driving Test Medicals raise over £5,000 for Military Charities
Friday 21 December 2012
As in previous years, a team of VSCC members who are doctors ran a clinic at the Winter Driving Tests at St George’s Barracks near Bicester on Saturday 1 December for those members of our Club who require medicals for their racing licence applications to the Motor Sports Association. The doctors gave their time free of charge. The Club advertised the opportunity and the racing members each made a donation instead of a formal payment – even those who subsequently failed their medical!
A number of charities were supported by our members this year but most members made their donations to the Army Benevolent Fund and Help For Heroes. Most donations were also offered with gift aid. The total amount collected for Army Benevolent Fund was £2645.00 and for Help for Heroes was £2785.00.
The competitive Driving Test event was organised by our members Malcolm Elder and his son Mark. The doctors were coaxed into action by our member Dr Willie Sellers. Administration of the medicals was handled by the entire Ricketts family from Aylesbury. And the whole event was hosted by Bicester Garrison.
The Club thanks all those involved for their fund raising support.
