Car clubs urged to lend their backing to this year's Lydiate Classic Car Show

Car clubs across the north west are being encouraged to help the organisers of a classic car show to help fund the battle against cancer.

The organisers of the Lydiate Classic Car Show said they were keen to hear from car clubs who would be interested to hear from any car clubs keen to bring their classics to Merseyside for the July 7 event, which will help to raise funds for Cancer Research UK.

Event co-organiser Ben Spears said: “Currently in its sixth year, the show has raised almost £10,000 for the cancer charity. “The entrance fee is a flat £2 for all, and as well as classic machinery on show there are also charity stalls, hot food and parts for sale.

"There is no need to pre book, you can just turn up on the day and pay on the gate, but it is always advisable to turn up early.”

The show, which takes place at Lydiate Parish Hall, opposite the Scotch Piper, between 10am and 4pm, feature classic cars and motorbikes from clubs across the region.
