Heidi goes racing around Oulton Park racetrack at Villagers’s Day a couple of weeks ago.
I’ll bet the BMW track car has never gone so slow 🤣
Flat Eric had a fab ride
A huge shout out to Hilary Armour, CEO & team Dogs for Autismfor a fabulous weekend at their puppy training centre in Alton, Hampshire. It was fab to have the tour of the newly refurbished puppy training centre converted from a dusty old barn by volunteer Run the Ring ‘Ringers’ Great people, great food, great drinks, great VDubs & great fun. Well worth the 81/2 hr drive to get there 🤣🚌🐾🐕🦺 Can’t wait for our next fundraising event for this fabulous charity. Watch this space……………
Awesome event, awesome people & awesome charity Dogs for Autism 🙌🙌🐾🐾🐾🐕🐕🦺🚌🚌🚍
Still on cloud 9 & rising 🤣🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏
Friday 6 October - 14hrs after JustGiving page closed……
Heidi has quite enjoyed being on the naughty kerb & wants to continue her punishment so she’s in credit for future naughtiness.
Lovely & interesting day:-
- A lovely lady gave me £2 at the local garage inspired by the Guide Dogs for the Blind documentary on TV last night ❤️
- A fab group of road workers emptied their pockets outside the Coop 😘
- An awesome guy I was buying a vacuum off (just for parts as I dropped mine out of the attic- don’t ask), told me to take the vacuum & put the £20 towards #dogsforautism 🙏
- A fun gaggle of ZZ Top loving bikers who were watching me like a hawk parking in Starbucks (in case I ran over their Harley’s), emptied their pockets into the bucket.
One didn’t have any money so I surprised him with my PDQ machine (my phone upside down The look on his face was priceless 🙄🙄🤣).
Think I pulled 🤣🤣
What a lovely day……..£27.84 raised 🙌
To date, what started as a bit of fun in 2016, has grown into the most amazing fundraising event evvvver!
Any VDub, old or new, large or small, take part in this amazing yearly fundraising event & do their bit for little known & underfunded charities. This year the chosen charity was #dogsforautism
And boy oh boy does this event raise awareness of the charities chosen.
‘Ringers’ go over & beyond the call of duty to be part of this epic event. They travel from North, South, East & West including our Dutch Ringers who make the arduous journey over the English Channel to drive round the M25 then go home!!!!
Ben je kwaad?????
The huge cross section of VWs, the effort Ringers go to decorate their VDubs, the bridge wavers & their banners, the knitters, the sewers, the artists, the photographers hanging off pylons & lampposts to capture the perfect shot of nutters enjoying their ride, the DJ’s #vdubradio, their epic tunes, the Paramedic on standby in case someone falls off their clodhoppers, the most amazing people, our awesome sponsor #aplaninsurance, the fabulous charities that most folk have never heard of, where people work tirelessly to help those in need
OR
Run the Ring aka ‘T***s in VWs holding me up for 10 mins at Cobham services’ according to one Tickity Tock Ticcy Toccer.
No matter, there’s always one 🙄
So far, just over £1/4m raised for our previous chosen charities including £3.5k to #plantatreetoday to offset our carbon emissions 🌲 🌳
The announcement of how much we’ve raised for Dogs for Autism will be announced on Saturday 14th October.
Forget Strictly - watch it on catch up or better still, tune into #vdubradio for epic tunes & The Big Reveal, where the Lord & Lady of The Ring, John & Amanda (& team) announce how much we’ve raised.
CANNOT WAIT 🙌
Ringer love ❤️🚌🚚🚐🐾😘

Yes, I know it’s stotting down but you’ve been a naughty, naughty girl so you’re there until Friday when the fundraising closes.
Now stop wining & do your job!
Heidi’s back home & my purse’s £567 lighter. She’s been sent out in disgrace to continue fundraising until the 5th Oct when Run the Ring’s fundraising ends then she can have a rest. My JG page currently stands at £495 excluding £121.60 raised at the various service stations I stopped at on the way to M25 & back. So, currently at £616.20
Determined to get to £1,000 in support of Dogs for Autism
A few more quid would do nicely 🙏

Ok Ringers - here’s a question. Just on the point of finishing the stream & pond wot I built. Just putting in my last plant.....
Guess what happened next.
For every right answer, I’ll donate £1 to Brainwave.
PS - you don’t need to point out the fence needs painting - I’m on it 😂😂😂🤟
Oh & don’t mention the green stuff - it’s growing as fast as I can clear it 😬😳😬😳 — feeling annoyed with Lauren Scott - Brainwave.
