HISTORY:
THE EVENT IS INTO ITS FOURTH YEAR IN 2002, AND IS RUN BY
A GROUP OF VOLUNTEERS CALLED THE 'SCAMPTON WELFARE
ACTION GROUP' (SWAG). THE MAIN AIM OF THE EVENT IS TO
RAISE MONEY FOR CHARITY AND LOCAL COMMUNITY PROJECTS.
WE HAVE CHOSEN TO SUPPORT THE 'MAKE A WISH FOUNDATION'
WHO STRIVE TO MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE FOR TERMINALLY ILL
CHILDREN, COUNTRY WIDE.
MAKE A WISH WAS CHOSEN AFTER THEIR INVOLVEMENT WITH A
FOUR YEAR OLD MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY, WHO IS TERMINALLY
ILL WITH CANCER. MAKE A WISH TOOK HER TO EURO DISNEY.
AS A RESULT WE FELT THAT THIS IS A VERY DESERVING CAUSE
AND IN 2001 WE MANAGED TO DONATE £1500 TO THE CHARITY.

IN 1999 WE HAD 64 VEHICLES ON DISPLAYAND 800 VISITORS.
IN 2000 WE HAD 105 VEHICLES ON DISPLAY AND 1500 VISITORS.
IN 2001 WE HAD 154 VEHICLES ON DISPLAY AND 3000+ VISITORS,
THIS DESPITE POURING RAIN OVER THE WEEKEND. ALSO IN 2001
THE ROAD RUN WAS ATTENDED BY OVER 50 VEHICLES.

FOR 2002 WE HOPE TO BETTER ALL THE FIGURES AGAIN AND HOPE
TO RAISE EVEN MORE FOR MAKE A WISH.

THANKS FOR READING
