The Government will introduce electoral integrity pilots at the local elections in May 2018.

From Westminster to Brussels!
-
1 person is going
CWF are planning 'A Freedom Rally' to Brussels by way of a car rally.
The plan is to congregate with around 20 individually sponsored cars in Westminster on Friday 21st September at 10am!
Here's the plan:
Day 1
Meet in Westminster and drive to Dover for the journey to France. We will stay over night in Epernay and enjoy a well-earned delicious dinner in a Michelin star restaurant.
Day 2
We will enjoy a visit to Chateau Pierry, former workplace of Dom Perignon and then enjoy a driving tour of the scenic area. This will be followed by a free evening to enjoy the delights of Epernay.
Day 3
We will depart Epernay and drive in convoy up to Sedan on the Maginot line. This will be followed by a delicious dinner in a Chateau.
Day 4
After a rest, we will head north through the Ardennes Forest into Luxemburg and then onto our final destination Brussels. We will celebrate our last night with a farewell dinner...and a very special guest!
Day 5
Having stocked up with a hearty breakfast, we'll head for the port and back to UK.
Unlike most car rallies, the aim will be to keep the mileage low and the food and hotel quality high! We are looking to obtain a minimum donation of £4,000 to sponsor a car. The price includes based on two people sharing luxury accommodation and includes at least two dinners. We will have a few options available for how to sponsor your car, including corporate sponsorship.
*no special car needed
