Welcome to The Screwball Rally

Thursday 16th of September - Monday 20th of September 2010

Ever wanted to do some thing different, sick of the golf holiday to the Costa's, getting tired of the 18 to 30 hell hole? Want to drive an old car across Europe, stopping in different locations every night? Then you too can become a Screwballer.

The Screwball rally is about having fun and visiting a few European countries with other like minded people, it's also a chance for us to give something back to all the brilliant charities that support us in our hour of need. Here at the Screwball Rally we think that if you are raising money to do a charity rally you will raise more if it's for a charity of your choice. Perhaps the Macmilllan nurses have helped a loved one? Does the local church need a new roof? Do the Donkeys down at the sanctuary need some fresh carrots? It's totally up to you, all we ask is that you raise a minimum of £250 per team for the charity of your choice, by all means raise more, loads more. On the 2009 rally we raised over £16000 for various uk charities including, cancer charities, multiple sclerosis, institute for the blind, help for hero's, air ambulance, nspcc, racing welfare trust, debra, battery hen welfare trust, Sheffield lord mayors appeal, radio mercury charities appeal, precious lives appeal, Oxfam and various childrens hospices. A big thank you to every one who donated and took part to raise so much money for these and other fantastic charities. 

As its a local charity or a charity you have a passion for, if its for a charity that you have a part in, a charity that means something to you or a loved one, it will be easier to raise the £250 required. 

Its up to you how you run the screwball,

Dress as Laurel and Hardy, or the Blues brothers, and customise your car to match.

Take the A roads, call at every other services to fill up on petrol, oil, redbull, wimpy burger (They only sell cheese and ham or ham and cheese sandwiches in France???)

Take the leisurely route, stop at a chateau to collect that bottle of French plonk you promised yourself, have a picnic atop a mountain pass with only the wild goats and billowing clouds to keep your team company.

You can always follow another car just in front that you think is a fellow Screwballer and end up in Switzerland.

Or just simply go as yourself.

Screwball is all about having fun while raising money for a charity of your choice.

All you have to do is make sure you reach the day's destination for the evening's festivities.
