I don't know the details but the email address to contact for information about the run is: lunapotlennon (at) hotmail.co.uk
Hopefully you'll get a response before tomorrow :)

For those who are interested, there are some photos of the Roses Run cars crossing Loyn Bridge at Gressingham in my Flickr photostream:

The cars set off from Morecambe at about 9.00am, so I had a mad dash up the M6 to catch them, then another mad dash back home to see my daughter singing in the village Harvest Festival! It was worth it though - on both counts!

Just missed the first Roses Run in 10years - we managed the prev 9, but the 5month old twins are a good excuse. Not really ready for charging across the country ina Minor yet! I understand that 54 cars took part this year - a good showing for the tenth anniversary run.
