ORMSKIRK'S traders are being invited to go full throttle next week at an event being held to give them a special preview of a motoring spectacular taking place in August.
Aintree Circuit Club said it is inviting representatives of Ormskirk's businesses to come along next Wednesday (March 16) to a preview of the Ormskirk Motorfest, a showcase and parade of classic and racing cars scheduled to take place in the town centre on August 28.
Event Co-ordinator, John Bailie, on behalf of organisers Aintree Circuit Club, said:
"We have been amazed at the incredible interest which the MotorFest has already generated. We'll have historic Grand Prix cars on the streets, along with a wide variety of racing cars and motor cycles, sports, classic and vintage cars and many more.
"This event is sure to bring many visitors to the town, so we're staging this Preview Event to show the Ormskirk business community how it will benefit them, and how they can play their part in ensuring its success".
Last year The Champion revealed that the club was working with the borough council to hold the inaugural event on the August bank holiday weekend, which will combine a display of classic cars in Coronation Park with a parade of sports and racing cars on the town's one-way system.
Martin Forshaw, Portfolio Holder for Planning and Transportation at West Lancashire Borough Council, said the event would help bring nationwide attention to the town, and is keen for locally-based businesses to find out more.
"The West Lancashire Borough, all the town's High Street retailers and other local businesses stand to gain from the exposure that this event will give the town on a prime Bank Holiday weekend, and it's sure to attract media coverage on a local, national, and possibly international level," he said.
"That's why the plans for the MotorFest are being revealed to local businesses as a first priority".
As well as viewing plans for the MotorFest, attendees of the event, being held will be held at The Green Room, Moor Street will be able to view the MG ZR racing car which is regularly driven by Aintree Circuit Club's Chairman Mike Ashcroft.
If you'd like to attend the preview, or participate in the MotorFest event, please contact John Bailie on 07860 255485 or email jb@aintree.org.uk
