Send off for Chris that he deserves…
Chris Fothergill sadly passed away on 13th July 2023 and left behind a loving family. Chris was well known for his love of classic cars, whether that be attending shows in his classic Vauxhall Royale, his Whips N Scoops Ice Cream Van or his body shop in Bishop Auckland. (The Body & Paint Shop)
With the agreement of his partner, we are going to ask everyone to join Chris for one final ride, to give him the send off he deserves, to rev those engines and make some noise with those horns!
The details are as follows:
Friday 4th August
Classic owners are asked to attend his garage, The Body & Paint Shop, on Union Street in Bishop Auckland. DL14 7TB is the postcode for 10am. We need people in place by 10.15am at the latest.
Chris & the family car will make there way from home to his garage, where all Chris's cars will be waiting; The Vauxhall Royale, Sunny van, Celica, ice cream van, recovery truck with the Cavalier on & another truck with both the Carlton & Belmont will follow the family and we ask that classic owners follow on the end of this.
Before the cortège reaches St Andrews Church in Spennymoor, there will be a roundabout to exit, we ask that you give one big rev and a blast of the horn as each of you leave the roundabout. Church postcode DL16 6NE, but we ask you don’t block the church with cars on Barnfield Road.
Let’s make it the send off he deserves!
