DGWGO helped make a dream come true today (19/2/14 ) for St Andrew’s RC Primary School’s pupil Maya Johnston who is taking part in a Speech making Competition hosted by the Dumfries Lady Speakers . Mayas chosen Subject for her speech for the finals of the competition is her F1 Hero Dumfries and Galloway Race Car Star ‘David Coulthard’ .
DGWGO had been Very Kindly Invited along to St Andrews Primary a few weeks ago , to watch the semi Finals of The Speech making Competition , and we were Very Impressed with all the speeches that we heard that day . A few days afterwards when speaking to Maya’s Mum , We found out she was doing her next speech for the Final about D&G F1 Star DC. As DGWGO had already been invited along to Vist David’s Museum in Twynholm , we thought it would be great to invite Maya and her mum along to join us for the Tour ! So This afternoon we all went along and met our guide for the afternoon ‘Shannah ‘from the Star Pub in the village . ‘The Star ‘currently Run the Museum with permission from Davids family to raise funds for Village , Most recently Donating £600 to Twynholm Primary School !
When we arrived at The Museum Maya and her mum were amazed at just how Packed the Building was with all of Davids Trophies and Awards and of course his Cars and Race suits and helmets ,Plus there is also a huge variety of Other memorabilia of Davids Racing Career starting from his days as a child Kart Racer ! Maya had great fun exploring and learning all about Davids Racing Career .,She took lots of notes and asked lots of questions , to get info and facts for her speech !
It was a fantastic Afternoon , which we all thoroughly enjoyed . We must give a huge thanks to the Coulthard family for allowing us to visit their museum and to Shannah and the Star Hotel for looking after us all !
