‘JEEP FOR A POUND' RAFFLE WILL AID HELP FOR HEROES
SHOPPERS at Tescos' Westwood store near Broadstairs, Kent,
had a chance to win a genuine military Jeep for just £1 at the weekend, (13
and 14 Feb) and at the same time raise money for Help for Heroes.
It's a classic Willys vehicle and is being raffled by the
War and Peace Show team at £1 a ticket, to support the forces charity.
The raffle will be drawn on Sunday 25 July, the last day of
the Show, which takes place annually at The Hop Farm, Paddock Wood.
Before then the Jeep will feature at a variety of events
across Kent, including a second appearance at the Westwood Tescos on the
weekend of 10 and 11 April.
Built in the 1950s, the Jeep, worth about £8,000, has been
expertly restored and will be handed over to the winner in "on the road"
condition.
"Jeeps are great fun," said Rex Cadman, of Ash, near
Sandwich, organiser of the War and Peace Show. "Most military vehicle
collectors start with a Jeep, including myself."
"The War and Peace Show reflects military history, but we
believe it's also important to support service people who are risking their
lives now, to keep us safe."
The raffle is being run by Ken Ditchfield, a military
vehicle enthusiast from Ramsgate, Kent who is a member of the War and Peace organising team.
Last year's Show raised more than £15,000 for Help for
Heroes.
