"We've found Simpsons Motor Group's Open Golf Tournament attracts scores of loyal Skoda and motor caravan owners to Caldecott Hall each year. It's turned into a 'must go' social event and gives everyone a chance to view the latest new Skoda models and motorhomes we take there to display. Motorhomes are now proving to be an extremely popular investment with golfing enthusiasts wanting to travel, and stay and play golf courses around England, Scotland, Ireland and Europe."
SIMPSONS SPONSOR GOSSY'S 'BACK TO BAYERN' CYCLE RIDE
We’re helping one of Norwich City Football club’s soccer legends – Jeremy Goss – raise £000's for the Norfolk and Norwich Association for the Blind by sponsoring his cycle ride back to Bayern Munich Football Club, scene of Gossy’s wonder goal in the 1993 UEFA Cup, when Norwich ran out 2-1 winners against the mighty Bayern Munich, three-times European Champions.
Go on Gossy – go raise the roof, like you did when you scored that wonder goal which was struck on the volley to put you in Canary folklore history.

He's made it! Jeremy finished his 1,300 mile sponsored cycle ride on Saturday 13th August, when he arrived at the San Siro stadium in Milan, Italy, very hot as temperatures reached 34celcius.
"I'm so grateful to Simpsons for their invaluable motorhome support vehicle, my back-up crew and, most importantly, the host of people who have sponsored my epic cycle ride and fundraising project which has taken me across five European countries, "he enthused.
