41st Anniversary Vintage Bus Running Day

Saturday 8th May 2010

 


Thank you to everyone who came and enjoyed our second Nailsea Charity Vintage Bus Running Day!

We carried over 900 passengers on Saturday 8th May in aid of the Nailsea MS Centre.

 

In 2009 we raised £500.28 for the Wraxall Children’s Hospice

Our charity for 2010 is

THE NAILSEA MS CENTRE- TOTAL RAISED £518!

Thank you to everyone who took part!

 

We must also thank Dr. Mike Walker of the Bristol Omnibus Vehicle Collection, plus Kelvin Amos for kind assistance in making the event a reality!
