In addition, since I took the above photos, Geoff and some of the children had a visit to see Bentley testing at Snetterton and were given the following items for the auction by the team:
2 flags signed by the 6 drivers; a brolly; ladies t shirt; 2 Le Mans packs with union jack/Bentley black t shirts with lapel badge, car stickers, key ring, rubber badge and set of postcards; 2 caps; mouse mat.
We have also been promised stuff at the circuit from The Racer's Group, Prodrive and Team Bucknum Racing.
Good luck!
Cheers
