Annual Isle Of Wight Morris Minor Rally Raises Hundreds For Cancer Trust

An annual rally saw more than 50 Morris Minors and over 20 classic cars come to the Isle of Wight Steam Railway earlier this month.

Raising money for the Wessex Cancer Trust, the Isle of Wight Morris Minor Owner's Club event celebrated the much-loved car — the first sell a million in Britain.

Music was played throughout the day and the Steam Railway was in full swing. There were many different stalls of all kinds to give visitors plenty to see and do at the event.

Southern Vectis kindly loaned The Old Girl Bus for the day, allowing for two packed trips out from the events field on mystery tours.

This year the club chose to team up with Wessex Cancer Trust to raise vital funds for those living locally with a cancer diagnosis.

Laura Haytack, Regional Fundraising Manager, said:

“We’re hugely grateful to both the Morris Minor Owners Club and those who attended the event which made it such a success.

"This money is going to make a huge different to allow Wessex Cancer Trust to continue to provide free and local support to those that need our services.”

The event was deemed a great success, and through both a tombola and raffle, the day raised £288 for Wessex Cancer Trust.
