2025-12-06 10:00 - 16:00 | Sainsbury’s (Hardwick) Kings Lynn, Scania Way, Hardwick, Kings Lynn, Norfolk, PE30 4LR
As so many members of the Owners Club in the Eastern Region, also have the undoubted joy of having a dog or two in their lives, our good friends Karen and Gary Wegge suggested we could combine our love of dogs with our passion for driving our MX5’s.
The dedicated staff at The Dogs Trust Re-homing center at Snetterton care for over 70 dogs, so we thought we should try and make Christmas 2025 a little bit different by taking doggy toys, treats, food or if you prefer to, just make a donation, to ensure this is a Christmas to remember, Oh and don’t forget the staff treats!
Our main starting point will be Sainsbury’s (Hardwick) Kings Lynn, however, if you would like to organise a drive from your area, we would be absolutely thrilled to meet you at Snetterton.
So, decorate your car with tinsel, (make sure it’s legal), put on your best Christmas Jumper and lets help make this event a real festive treat.
