What I need now are teams of 25 people to ride the bike on the night and to raise as much money for Children in Need as possible! Why 25 people? The bike seats 23 plus a driver from the hire company. Also some people may not be able to attend on the night. The entry fee for a company team is £250 but what do you get for that? As well as rider entry, your company will have shared space on a banner that measures a total of 3.8m by 0.8m - it's double-sided so your logo will be visible from either side of the street. No doubt there will be media present on the night (because we'll tell them!) and there is also the distinct possibility of TV exposure if we get invited into the studios! After all we'll be right outside and Children in Need do know about this event. We'll need to know about company teams by November 2nd at the very latest so we can have all your artwork and order the banner.
If you want to enter your own non-corporate team, rider entry costs £5 per person. That’s only a couple of pints or a bottle of reasonably priced wine each – not much you’ll agree! Add on to that any sponsorship money you can raise, and that's a stack of cash for Children in Need!
As if the bike isn't a big enough draw, the teams will be in fancy dress, will be making a lot of noise (there are airhorns on the bike
) and raising a lot of cash for Children in Need! There will be a trophy for the best fancy dress, loudest team and team that raises the most money!
In keeping with the CharityAdventure ethos, all profit made by the event, as well as all sponsorship raised by riders will go straight to the Children in Need Appeal.
For more details or if you want to take part, it's best to email me at matt@charityadventure.org.uk. Probably after tomorrow you can call my mobile - I lost it on a ride around Haworth on Saturday, but someone found it and stuck it in the post! My number is 07969491426.
Cheers,
Matt.
