How our Gala Tent Promotion code works for us and you..

We are Proud to have as our main sponsor


Gala Tent Ltd started life in September 1999 and has expanded to selling there products though out Europe and now in the USA as well.They provide also some Local councils,The Fire service,AA and RAC but to name a few of there customers.
At the end of 2009 I approached Gala Tent looking for a Marquee to enable us as a club to display some interesting Cars and motorcycles while we were fund raising at events.I was originally looking for a Marquee for one event to fund raise for Children in Need.
I spoke to the Gala Tent founder Mr Jason Mace and to be honest was very shocked when he agreed to sponsor Wheels for Charity with a 6m x 12m Marquee.

Just over a year ago Gala Tent approach me with an idea about a promotion code to help raise funds for our chosen Charities.

WHEELS4C
This is our promotion code.
It gives you the customer a 10% discount and Gala Tent give us 5% of your discount for our charities.In keeping with our 100% donation to our charities all this money is split 5 ways between our chosen Charities.

Last weekend Maz Tommy and I attended Truckfest 2011 along with Matt,Tori and the kids as well as Marc & Carol Greening of Peacock Transport.The weather was great and the highly polished trucks came in the the hundreds.
We were there as well as for the club but on a personal note as well and armed with Phones for Heroes Pre-paid  envelopes Forces Children's Trust Pots and the Banners as well we set up for the weekend.

The show opened to the public on Sunday but Saturday night as usual there was a Light show and fireworks display for all the competitors and Traders.
