Mandy Marriner, one of the organisers, said this year the theme for the black tie ball is the JDR Logo – Red, White and Black, with a fast cars twist.

She said the car rides will be starting in the afternoon at 5pm and going through into the late evening.

Mandy said: “The Sporting Bears Motor Club will be offering dream rides in a host of high end supercars in exchange for a requested donation.

“There will be a Ferrari, Porsche, Jaguar and Lamborghini to name a few and families are welcome.”
