The BIG Event!

This is the pre-launch event being held at RAF MARHAM.

This will be a full Air Day held at the base as part of their families day on 23rd of July in which we are playing a major part. There will be a huge crowd with an expected footfall of 10,000.

We are currently negotiating a deal with a hotel in Knightshill in Kings Lynn for Bed and Breakfast on the 22nd, followed by accommodation and a Black Tie Ball on the evening of the 23rd. So it will be package of 2 nights accommodation and a mega party! The cost for couples should be £114 for bed and breakfast on the 21st and £154 for accommodation, 3 course dinner and ball on the 22nd.



There will be limited opportunity to have evening light painting shots with an F35 and more opportunities for a day shot. We will be taking an overhead shot with the cars lined up in a F35 pattern too! There will be runway dashes in front of an adoring crowd and we will be doing miles for smiles all day.



We will then retire to our hotel to relax and party the night away whilst bonding as a group before Rally launch day on 5th of August!
 So please book the time off! We need full attendance to make this work! Standby for a JOT Form with details on the package.

ATTENTION ABSEILERS!

Abseilers .... please organise your donations for the abseil onto the Just Giving page that has been set up to receive them. If you are doing the Rally, Jim Morrison will allocate it to you from this page.

We would like to see those donations rolling in!

Not signed up for the abseil but would like to?

If you have not registered to abseil but think you may like to, there are limited spaces available. To register, please follow the instructions below:

Everyone receiving this newsletter is already a Rally for Heroes 2020 entrant so you do not need to register on the SSAFA website as you have already done this.

To complete your registration, please pay your £105 fee to:

Account Name: SSAFA
A/C No: 05321808
Sort Code: 18-00-02
Reference: Abseil[surname]

THIS ACCOUNT IS ONLY FOR THE COST OF THE ABSEIL ITSELF.
IT IS NOT FOR ANY SPONSORSHIP MONEY FOR THE ABSEIL.

The reference is very important as it will help allocate each registration to the right person.

Each person needs to pay £105, which you can reimburse yourself once you have raised the minimum amount of £375 per abseil if you wish, although last time most people thought the experience was worth the money it had cost them to do it and allowed that extra money to go to SSAFA.
 

The Just Giving page is live. Please point all of your supporters in this direction to make a donation and if you are completing the abseil please use this page as your main fundraising page.

Please ensure you make your supporters aware that they need to state your name in the comments so we can allocate their donation to you, this will ensure we have a track of your donations enabling you to reach your target.

Jim Morrison will, after the event, allocate your abseil money to the appropriate
Rally for Heroes account. Please do not put it direct onto your Rally for Heroes fundraising page. It is easier to track the money for this event if it is all together.

Please can you make payment as soon as possible as your abseil space is not secure until you do so.

You need to be over 18 and in good health. Once the payment has been made, it is non refundable as this will have been paid to the abseil team who will be doing this for us on the day. No profit is made from the abseil cost as it costs us £105 for each person to do it.

Event organisers: Mark & Kim
