Hi All,
I am new to the forum, in fact I have registered mainly to invite you to this event.
Every year at Cummins Turbo Technologies in Huddersfield we hold an 'Interesting Vehicles Day' at our site. This is a fund raising event in aid of the White Knights motocycle emergency service who take blood and organs for emergency transfer between hospitals out of normal hours.
The event consists of displaying as many interesting vehicles of all types as possible from racing cars to fire engine to hand and foot powered trikes. We then charge a small entrance fee for our employees and guests to look around. We also charge commercial partners more to come with their interestng vehicles to show off and auction off some vehicle related experiences.
This year I am trying to build on our environmental and alternative powered vehicles section of the event and would love it if anyone could spare the time to bring down any interesting HPVs.
The event starts at 11:15 with exhibitors arriving a bit earlier and will end at 1:30. I appreciate this is over lunch but we are hoping to have a hog roast or similar food available.
When I work out how to add photos I will add some of previous events.
If anyone is interested please let me know.
Thanks
Tom Roberts

I know the weekday makes it awkward but we have a large captive audience of our employees on a work day. Thanks for your reply.

That would be great Barney. 
I tried to get in touch with you using an old e-mail address to ask you before I contacted the forum. We are going for a much bigger event this year than the one you came to so the more the merrier. We don't have many confirmed yet but some of the vehicles we have shoul make it pretty good this year.
Cheers
Tom
