Automobile Association of Singapore and Liberty Insurance Organise the Wheels, Reels and Carnival 2015

Singapore, 11 December 2015 – Jointly organised by Automobile Association of Singapore (AA Singapore) and Liberty Insurance Pte Ltd, Wheels, Reels and Carnival 2015 will take place on 19 – 20 December 2015 at Leisure Park Kallang.

This two-day event aims to engage Singaporeans in learning more about the rich motoring heritage of our nation. Made up of three segments, this event consists of a Heritage Drive, a Drive-in Movie Screening and a Carnival.

The ‘ Wheels’ segment begins with a Heritage Drive, where participants take the opportunity to visit historical sites. Participants are required to complete the various challenges faced at each pit stop and obtain clues to proceed to the next stop. Points will be awarded upon completion of the task. Focusing on road safety, participants will not be judged by their speed but rather their ability to solve the challenges and accumulate the most points at each pitstop. The top scoring team will walk away with $1,000 worth of AAShop and dining vouchers.

Recognising the need to support our local charities, Crescendas Group has sponsored $10,000 as grand prize for the Corporate Wheels Challenge which will be donated fully to The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund. The Corporate Wheels Challenge is open to all corporate partners, and will run concurrently with the Heritage Drive.

Following the Heritage Drive, the day concludes with ‘Reels’, a Drive-in Movie Screening of the comedy animation film, Home.
