Once again RAF Brize Norton’s annual Families Day is approaching. This year it will be held on Saturday 31st August 2019 and I would like to invite you and the other owners in your respective clubs to join us so you can show off your wonderful vehicles and create a wonderful and memorable experience for the thousands of people that attend the day.
For those of you who have not joined us before the Families Day is a chance for all the serving and ex-serving RAF families and friends to get together to enjoy a wonderful day out. It is a chance for us to give back to them and say a big thank you for all their support, patience and understanding of the roles and responsibilities we fulfil all over the world on behalf of our country and Her Majesty the Queen.
The event will consist of a fair, static aircraft displays, a fly past, parachute display, an open air concert in the evening and a ton of other entertainments and festivities.
Being part of the Autosport Display you will get exclusive access to an active airfield and will be parked on the 99 Sqn pan alongside the UK’s strategic transport fleet and various other static aircraft. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to get access to an active military airfield, park alongside some of the most iconic transport aircraft of the modern era – C17-A Globemaster, Hercules C-130J and the A400M Atlas and also be part of a day that brings happiness to thousands of RAF personnel and their families.
If you would be interested please let me know as soon as you can with a rough idea of the number of vehicles you would like to bring. The more the merrier, so please do pass this on to anyone you think would be interested, including other car/motorcycle clubs if you have any contacts. We would like to make this year even more of a success than last year and would appreciate your help in doing so.
This year we will also be having a charity raffle to raise money for two great charities – the Royal Air Force Association and the Sue Ryder Hospice. If you would be able to donate any prizes to go into this raffle we would be extremely grateful.
Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards,
O-W
