White Hat Rally, Carries On Again!!

Over sixty intrepid white hatters joined the third and most successful White Hat Rally yet, raising over £38,500 for the NSPCC’s ChildLine Service!

Three Caesars, two Cleos, a ward full of doctors and nurses and the kilt-clad Third Foot and Mouth regiment ‘carried on’ a motor tour that linked the saucy seaside towns of Brighton and Blackpool, paying homage to the Carry On team’s great British cinema legacy.



Special mentions go to the NUKSG team 8485 80085 who raised an amazing £6,000 and the runner up Carry On Farming who raised nearly £5,000.

With a bigger team of highly committed organisers and official Motor Sports Association recognition, this year the route was meticulously planned and professionally marshalled, taking in winding country lanes through stunning English countryside avoiding A roads and motorways.


Highlights of the packed social side of the rally included a visit to Brooklands, the home of the world’s first purpose-built motor racing circuit, the ‘Carry On Camping’ team exercises led by the Green Goddess of the 80’s breakfast television fame, and ‘Carry On Screaming!’ on the Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.


Many people devoted huge amounts of time and energy towards making the rally a success but a special mention goes to Martin Law, whose dedication to making the event work was astounding.


A big Thank You to all the teams, their donors and the sponsors!
