CLASSIC cars from across the Midlands will be parking up in Leamington next month.
The annual Cars at the Spa (CATS) festival, a major fundraiser for Leamington Rotary Club, takes place at the Pump Room Gardens on June 1.
Rotarian Simon Evans, who chairs the show’s organising committee, said: “CATS has become a regular event in the town and last year we raised £5,000. People’s generosity can be amazing at times and we hope this year’s event will be even bigger and better, especially as our Rotary club is celebrating its 100th anniversary. .
“I would like to thank Startin Kia Warwick and Motor Hub Warwick for agreeing to be our generous headline sponsors again, and also Leamington BID for helping finance the event.”
Visitors will be able to see some 300 cars and to enjoy live entertainment throughout the day, plenty of food and drink stalls and a dedicated picnic area. The event is free and runs from 10.30am to 4pm.
Rotary president Linda John added: “We had a big increase in visitors last year as people came from far and wide to enjoy one of the town’s loveliest parks, listen to the entertainment, picnic on the grass by the river, buy snacks and drinks and, of course, admire the stars of the show – hundreds of classic cars.
“I would also like to thank all those who have advertised in this year’s programme, our army of Rotary volunteers and those members of the public who generously donate money on the day.”
Richard Roberts, dealer principal of Startin Kia Warwick, said they were pleased to sponsor the event again.
He added: “Leamington Spa Rotary Club does tremendous work in raising money for charity and we are looking forward to supporting the show again this year.”
