SATURDAY 11th AUGUST 2012
At our usual venue, Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground, Leicestershire. This has been our 'home' for the past 11 years and is ideally suited for the type of day we organise.
By request from Bruntingthorpe, we have been asked to move our day from a Sunday to a Saturday because of local environmental noise issues. This was very successful last year ,
The hotel deal.
We have confirmed our usual special deal at the Hinckley Island 4 star Hotel for just £55 per night per double room for 2 with breakfast included , that’s only £27.50 each, for the 10th August, and the same deal for the 11th and 12th August 2011.
If anyone does want to take advantage of this fantastic deal, all you have to do when booking (Telephone 01455 631122) is quote our reference 'OYM55' and you will get the £55 rate.
We will also be putting on free minibus shuttles on the Friday night from the hotel to 2 local pubs, the Hinckley Knight and the Three Pots Harvester where you can get good quality beer and food at a reasonable price.
On your marks confirmed list for the 11th August 2012
Well its not far away now , below is the confirmed list for this year , we will pass on the posters and guest passes when they are ready, and they will be available from your team leaders. ,
We are hoping that John Reynolds ex British Super bike champion and Jamie Witham ex world super sports rider and Euro sport commentator will be there most of the day and will be available to give autographs.
On Your Marks charities
Well we must be mad but we are going to do it all again on the Saturday 11th aug 2012 at Bruntingthorpe in Leicestershire, and this year we will be doing the show for "Wishes for kids” “our space” and “ cancer youth group” all from Leicestershire.
www.on-your-marks.info
Our WEBB SITE will be up and running on the 1ST MAY so you can look for all the information you might need ,such as maps and information on the day . There is also a face book page, just type in On Your Marks and you should get to it.
Air Team Images D.V.D.Film Crew
There will be a D.V.D.film crew at the event filming everything , they are even going to put mini camera’s in the planes during the air display , and will be putting mini camera’s in some of the cars ,trucks, 4x4’s and rally cars and will also film all the fantastic display’s , This d.v.d will be for sale, and will be finished and posted in September but if you order your copy at the show it will only be an incredible £7 to purchase, order you copy at the control cabin in the car pits.
Why we do it?
On Your Marks started nine years ago, we had a driver called Mark Hickingbottom, who was dying of lymphatic cancer after serving his country in the first gulf war, we approached the owner of Bruntingthorpe (David Walton) and asked if we could have a day with some trucks and a few cars on the proving ground, and he said yes. This went very well and we made £7,500 for his family but unfortunately mark died a week before the event.
The car clubs that came on the day asked if we could carry on with the event, so we approached his family and asked if we could do the day in his memory and use his name, they said they didn't mind but could the money go to children's cancer charities, the car clubs agreed to the same.
Eleven years down the line we have raised over £225,000+ for local kids ,and if you add the money the charities have made on the day we must be well over £300,000 , and we now get 18,000 colleagues ,friends and family there on the day. A indication on how big "On Your Marks "is now, on the first year we put up 350 metres of plastic safety fencing ,well this year we have just ordered 5,100 metres of steel safety fencing that’s 5.1 kilometres' .
We insist that the charities are there on the day and that some of the sick children can hopefully attend , then at 1400 on the day we open a special Pit for them and call all the special cars in for them to get in and go around the track for free and their parents and siblings. This is very special and is the pay back for all the hard work that Chris and myself put in, we both walk away with a tear in our eyes,
The companies that help us put this on, and the deal is that their employees can come as well and enjoy the day are,
Norbert Dentressangle will be supplying two trucks to go on the track, with instructors.
N.F.T. will be supplying one truck to go on the track with an instructor.
