Fun & Fundraising !! AFE Charity Boat Race - Fri 10th March 2017 :


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.

DateFriday 10th March 2017

Time12 - 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
