Cumbria Classic Car Club celebrated the end of a successful year of events with a charitable Christmas party at Ivegill Village Hall.
In previous years members celebrated the end of the year with a Christmas meal at a local pub, but decided this year to instead put on a festive bash and raise some money for charity at the same time.
Guests enjoyed turkey pie and desserts served up by the Ivegill Women’s Institute, while live music was provided by club members, and local band Handle With Care.
As well as singing and dancing, club members tackled a guess the object game featuring a mix of car parts and household items, as well as a cryptic confectionary quiz.
Donations from attendees bolstered the raffle which raised £125 for the club’s chosen charity, the Great North Air Ambulance, further boosted by £35 through the auction of an historic Cumberland Sporting Car Club badge.
Club members enjoyed the evening, which was reported as a welcome change to the more traditional meals of past, and look forward to another successful club party next year.
Founded in 1987, Cumbria Classic Car Club welcomes all owners of classic vehicles, with members owning a variety of vehicles, from a 1926 Bentley 3 Litre, to a comparatively modern 2004 MG TF.
Currently more than 80 members enjoy the club’s events calendar, with tours, pub meets, classic car shows and treasure hunts allowing members to make the most of their varied vehicles with like-minded enthusiasts.
