Beeston Hall School classic cars event aids Help for Heroes

From EDP24:  Beeston Hall School classic cars event aids Help for Heroes

“We had a mad panic trying to put them all up again before we opened,” explained north Norfolk district councillor Helen Eales, who organised the event with the help of husband Jeremy, North Norfolk Classic Car club members and a group of friends.
The team was further delayed by an early morning downpour, but by the time the gates opened at midday, the skies were clear.
More than 100 classic cars were on display on the school fields, with other attractions including a demonstration by Broadland Dog Agility Club, music from Trix ‘n’ Stix drumming troupe and a bouncy castle.
Stalls ranged from jewellery and wine, to cakes and crafts, with retired Sheringham policeman and district councillor Dick Shepherd running a “Whisky Galore” raffle, and volunteers manning a refreshment tent and barbecue.
Mr and Mrs Eales, whose son Nik has completed five tours of Afghanistan as an RAF flying officer, first held a garden party in aid of Help for Heroes three years ago.
This turned in to an annual event and, helped by a group of friends, the couple has raised nearly £3,000 for the charity.
“We wanted to go bigger and better this year, but we couldn’t have done it without the tremendous team of people who have supported us,” Mr Eales said.
