Hosted by KDS Keltec - http://www.kdskeltec.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
INFO ON THE LOCATION
Easy access from all the main roads in Kent, and from London. It's about 12 PH minutes from the M25.
Considerably bigger than the Manor Farm Barn's parking area, fully enclosed and fully concrete. There is a large 'pay and display' right next door that could even be an overspill car park if absolutely necessary.
KDS Keltec is on site and opening up to give an insight into exactly what goes into a 100 hour long car detail. Like this PH'ers Ford GT.
Lepsons Wheels are on site and opening up to give an insight into the processes involved in quality wheel refurbs.
Plenty of space for a number of catering vans - that's right folks, the usual PH fare of tasty porcine morsels and hot Oriental herbal infusions WILL be available!
EVEN IF it gets too busy, there's a variety of Maccy D and cafe type establishments within a puny PHer-suitable walking distance.
Oh yeah.... and there's a 700 metre long tunnel en route........ hmmmmmm............ and it has a roundabout at BOTH ends.............
Rally for Heroes will have a display stand, and a collection at KDS detailing on 1st April 2012.
We will be joining Jaykaybi of Wilton Super Cars fame, at a get together he is arranging on the PH Kent section.
Date: Sunday 1st April
Time: from 10am, for a few hours
Location: KDS in Gillingham - Unit 12/Railway St Ind Est/Railway St, Gillingham ME7 1YQ
I do believe the good folk from Dodo Juice, Lepsons, Snap On, Paintshield, Gtechniq and others will be around in a relaxed capacity as well, doing demos and showing stuff, and if anybody wants to know anything about Wilton House jaykaybi be happy to chat. And there will be purveyors of car-meet grub and drinks on site, naturally.
RALLY FOR HEROES INFORMATION
So what is Rally For Heroes 2012?
It is a driving event across Europe organised to get together a group of like minded driving enthusiasts to raise money for charity and have fun whilst doing so.
How far will we be going?
The idea is to drive 5 miles for each fallen serviceman/woman since the beginning of the Middle Eastern conflicts. Now unfortunately that figure is rising monthly. In 2010 we covered just over 1700 miles, in 2012 we won't be far off 2500.
How does it raise money and for whom?
The majority of money is raised by obtaining sponsorship from companies and in turn advertising them on our vehicles, this gives the companies exposure for the time leading up to the event and then on the trip itself, not to mention the media coverage. We also appeal to the general public for help by selling merchandise and even street collections. Last year the event raised in Excess of £32000 for Help for Heroes. In 2012 we will be looking to raise £100,000 with the money this year being split between Help for Heroes and the Royal British Legion.
How much money goes to the charities and how much is used by the entrants?
Unlike other events where entrants have to raise sponsorship to fund the trip, 100% of money raised through entrants individual fundraising and donations from the general public goes straight into the charity site. All the attendees pay their own expenses from their own pocket.
A large proportion of the money raised, comes via corporate sponsorship in return for advertising exposure. Obviously to administrate, market and marshall an event of this magnitude carries a cost, the entry fees cover a large proportion of those costs, with the balance coming from the corporate sponsorship. The remainder is then split between the charities after the event. All the attendees, pay their own way expenses from their own pocket.
Can I sponsor/donate?
Yes, any corporate sponsorship should be directed through the contact section on http://www.rallyforheroes.com/home.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Individual donations can be made through my virgin giving page at http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserPage.action?userUrl=spike2&pageUrl=3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
