UP to 70 women have signed up for this year's Girls on Top driving challenge in aid of Winsley-based Dorothy House Hospice Care.

The event will take place on November 6 at the Royal Bath and West Showground, Shepton Mallet, and there are plenty of spaces left.

Women from all over Wiltshire have the chance to drive a range of vehicles, including fire engines, articulated lorries and a passenger coach.

Dorothy House events co-ordinator Philippa Watson said: "The Girls on Top challenge is all about having a great time while raising funds for Dorothy House ­ and let's face it, how often are you going to have the chance to drive a fire engine at top speed, with lights flashing and sirens wailing?"
