The highlight of the show for Cardgains will take place on Sunday 1st February when one lucky member will receive the keys to a brand new Nissan Juke as the finale of the 2014 Car-gains car giveaway. Throughout 2014 members have been earning ‘entries’ into the draw from the support suppliers as part of last year’s Cardgains 25th anniversary celebrations. The draw will take place at 2pm where ten finalists will be gathered in eager anticipation for the draw. The nine runners up will each be presented with a commemorative watch.
The following day, Monday 2nd February will see Cardgains present the 2014 charity of the year cheque to representatives from Peach – for children with autism. The target of £25,000 was reached due to the hard work of the charity walkers and riders and the generosity of friends, family, members and acquaintances. This will be a great place for a reunion of everyone who took part in last year’s event and a great photo opportunity! All are welcome to come along to the presentation at 1.00pm.
Throughout the week there will be ongoing live demonstrations of the Cardgains Web Shop. There are now twenty-three brands available through the web shop, giving members the opportunity to order a mixed box of products across a selection of suppliers, with a minimum order of only £100. Members will be able to register and even order live at the show.
