Classic cars and bikes are being urged to join up for Clan Cancer Support’s 2025 Cavalcade motor rally.
The Water Tour – so called because it will call in at a variety of water-themed businesses and venues across the north east – will set off after breakfast from Threaplands Garden Centre near Lhanbryde on Friday, August 22.
Julie Ferguson, Clan’s moray local services co-ordinator said “Our Cavalcade is one of our fundraising highlights in Moray. It brings people together from all over and there’s such a great sense of community around it. Participants and locals gather every year to see the amazing range of vintage and classic cars on display.
“Demand has already been high for this year’s event, but we still have spaces available for those looking to take part and help raise much needed funds for those affected by cancer in the local community, ensuring Clan can provide vital support services to those in need.”
The rally’s first pit stop is going to be Refresco Ltd in Macduff, where site maintenance manager Nick Plumbtree will give a behind-the-scenes look into the world’s largest independent bottling company.
The tour will then stop at JC Rennie and Co Ltd, the renowned textile company near Mintlaw which has been in existence since 1798, where director Christian Smith will share how water aids in the cleaning, softening and dyeing of wool.
Following lunch at Barra Castle, the cavalcade will continue to Filpumps in Inverurie, which is Scotland’s leading pump and water supply specialist.
Roehill Springs Distillery near Keith will be the next stop, where owner Duncan Morrison will speak about its handcrafted gins and vodkas.
To round off the day the drivers will then return to Elgin for a two-course meal at The Sunninghill Hotel.
Clan is keen to hear from owners of classic cars and motorcycles who would like to join the tour which will raise awareness and vital funds.
A minimum of £50 sponsorship is requested. Additional fees are required for both meals on the day.
Drivers and navigators wishing to take part should visit 01343 544132.
The cancer charity’s branch on Elgin High Street is open Monday to Thursday offering support, information and a range of complementary therapies.
