CLASSIC car enthusiasts in Shropshire will once again be revving their engines to support Oswestry’s Hope House Children’s Hospices at the Classic at the College event this summer.

On Saturday, June 3, drivers will meet at Hope House in Oswestry before driving a scenic route through the countryside before ending up at Ellesmere College.

Here, there will be a fun-packed afternoon of stalls, cake sales, entertainment and many fundraising activities, as well as the chance for people to view all the classic cars which will be on display at the grounds.

Cat Dowdeswell, fundraiser at Hope House Children’s Hospices, thanked the organisers and the car owners for pledging their support to helping bring in much-needed funds

She said: “We are extremely grateful to both Ellesmere College and the Shropshire MG Club for once again holding this event to raise money to support seriously ill local children and their families.

“Without the support of our community and events like these, we would not be able to be here for those who need us the most.
