AFE Charity Boat Race - Friday 10th March :
The AFE Charity Boat Race Event is happening again !!!!
It will take
place on Friday 10th March between 12 – 3pm, and involves teams of 4
(staff teams and student teams or mixed teams) rowing the length of the Oxford
/ Cambridge boat race on rowing machines outside the Business school (under
cover).
It is a time race so each team rows their fastest time. Each team pay
£2 per team to enter and the winning team will get a prize (to be confirmed).
We also have people shaking fundraising cans, and we sell cakes and do other
small events to raise money. The charity is Francis House Children's Hospice in
Didsbury.
Task: Teams (Maximum 4)
will row the length of the Oxford v Cambridge Boat Race and compete to complete
the challenge in the quickest time. The boat race is 6.8 km (4 miles 374 yards)
and this distance is covered by the team as a whole, not each.
Date: Friday 10th March 2017
Time: 12 - 3 pm (Teams can choose a rowing slot of
12pm, 12.30pm, 1pm, 1.30pm, 2pm or 2.30pm)
Location: Business School Main Entrance
Prizes: TBC
Entry fee: A suggested donation of £2 per team member
Request for easy fundraising ideas:
If you have any ideas for small events that we can do alongside the rowing, or if you want to help on the day with fundraising, cake sales, general support and maybe a team effort yourself, that would be amazing. Please promote this to your friends (we need teams of 4) and I will contact all the AFE students directly this week too
Please let us know if you wish to speak with me further about the
above. I can be found in room 4.39 of the Business School and would be happy to
discuss everything with you.
Best wishes,
Clare
