HUNDREDS of car enthusiasts will be gathering for a special ‘end of summer meet’ in Poole this evening.

The event at Wessex Gate Retail Park has been organised by car club Skirtz and Wheels.

Around 300 people have said they will be attending the event on Facebook.

Organiser Ayshe Shakir said Skirtz and Wheels had joined together with a number of other car clubs for the event, which will raise money for Winchelsea School.

It will be “strictly static”, she said, and a chance for car enthusiasts to “meet, chat and show off their pride and joy”.

She added each club would be bringing their own bin bags to ensure any litter is picked up after the event.

A Borough of Poole spokesperson said: “The organiser of this car meet has been in contact with Borough of Poole, the police and the landowner about the event.

“The event is taking place on private land, and marshals will be present.”
