Spey Valley Car Tour

Photographs and Details from 2024 Car Tour

The Rotary Club of Spey Valley were delighted to welcome 34 entrants

to their first Classic, Sports and EV Car Tour. The cars were flagged

off by club President Pam Cairns from Macdonald Aviemore Resort in

lovely sunshine. The good weather continued all the way to Strathdon

showing the heather clad mountains at their best.

Lunch was provided by Glenfiddich at their Dufftown Distillery, but by

the time cars arrived the clouds had descended and all soft top

drivers had pulled up their roofs.

The return drive was north towards Forres then south past Lochindorb

and Carrbridge. The day finished off with an Awards dinner in the

Peregrine Suite at Macdonald Aviemore.

This was a charity event where everyone gave so generously. Over

£9,000 was raised which will be shared equally between Macmillan

Cancer Care, Aquabox and the Rotary Club of Spey Valley Charitable

Trust.

Grateful thanks go to our sponsors: Arnold Clark Inverness BMW,

Macdonald Aviemore Resort, Glenfiddich Distillery, Landmark Press and

all the advertisers in the Route Book.

Special thanks go to the Rotary Club event organisers Alan Cairns and

Alan Rankin for the months of hard work organising the event, and all

the club volunteers.

We had great feedback from participants who unanimously said they were keen to come back next year!

 "Thank you for your hospitality. It was a pleasure, we all enjoyed it

very much. The club needs to be congratulated for the work and effort

that went into organising the event, that was no small feat!!

Hopefully see you next year."

"Credit to all your Rotary Volunteers, they did a wonderful job.!

It was a great day. We all enjoyed ourselves with all the cars, and it

was really nice to meet a lot of interesting people. We look forward

to next year."

"We enjoyed the day enormously from start to finish. THANK YOU for your

fine efforts and those of all your co-conspirators especially your

other half and for alerting both the Distillery and the Hotel to my

wife’s dietary needs. Very thoughtful and efficient and kind. So

lovely to meet such congenial people as all those gathered at lunch

time and in the evening. We look forward very much to next year’s

meeting."

"My wife and I had a great day and would love to do it again in 2025!

We thoroughly enjoyed our day. It was a very well organised & friendly

event. Hope you will have space for us next year."

The success of the event, together with the positive feedback from the

drivers who took part, has inspired the club to plan another Charity

Car Tour in May 2025.
