THIS is the last chance for women to take part in a unique driving challenge that could see them behind the wheel of a double-decker bus or tractor.

The Ladies’ Driving Challenge has been organised by Marie Curie Cancer Care again this year and places are filling up fast.

Other vehicles expected to be at the event on Sunday, September 14, are lorries and JCBs – and there’s a chance there may even be a fire engine.

Community fund-raiser Richard Scott said: “It’s a great day out for everyone involved, and this year it’s even more special as it’s the charity’s diamond anniversary. There will be some truly challenging and fun vehicles that the ladies would otherwise never have the chance to try.”

It will cost participants £10 to register, with everyone who takes part being asked to raise £100 in sponsorship, which will be put towards Marie Curie nursing services.

The charity, which provides care to terminally ill patients and support for their families, is also asking for volunteers to help stage the event, at Throckmorton Airfield, near Pershore.

To register for the event or to offer your services as a volunteer, call 01179 427132.
