Some members of St. Andrews Church Youth Club, High Wycombe are desperate; and you may be able to help! Following a ‘hands-on’ project over the winter months to build a go-kart, the team is now looking for somewhere to run their creation.
The project came about after several members of the youth club voted to make a go-kart.
Funding was made available from The Council for Social Aid and a adult volunteer identified. God moves in a mysterious way and it just so happened that someone attending a funeral at the church saw the go-kart poster on the youth club notice board and was also keen to assist the young people. ‘We couldn’t have recruited better!’ said Paul Harvey, project Leader. ‘Alec Brooks is a designer and builder of go-karts, and has raced many times on the Isle of Man, even alongside Nigel Mansell years ago; we are so grateful for his expertise.’
A carefully prepared training course has taken the young team through all the basics and has culminated in a written assessment and Certificate of Achievement.
‘Before we let the team loose in the kart they have yet to pass a driving test’, said Paul. ‘Everyone has been committed to this project 100% and deserves the thrill of driving the machine they have created. All we need is a large hard area!’
If you can help please call David Montgomery, the Church Youth Worker on 07723026559.
