Please come along to the Help for Heroes Stand at FOS

[Blue Cat]

Hi,

Help for Heroes has stand at FOS this year where we will be selling raffles tickets, the prize being a weekend in an R8.

Out stand is not very exciting, but we do have an R8 on it which has been modified for disabled driving.

But please come along and buy a ticket, we are located behind the Jaguar and Landrover stands plus we have a lot of space on our marquee incase of rain or just a break out of the sun.

I spent most the day there today setting up, it was very busy and looks like it will be an exciting show

[hope2421]

[Al Wyn]

Hi there Jane i will pop along and grab some tickets in the morning CheeRS Al

[MadDad]

Great stuff - I will be on the stand for a bit and will be more than willing to relieve you of some cash for a worthy cause, oh and the chance of you having an R8 for the weekend (think of it as a try before you buy!! )

See you all there bright and early (if I ever make it to bed!)......

[AngryApples]

There on Sunday, will def pop by mate, good cause!

[knight]

Sorry but I never did find your stand I will make a donation as soon as I can

[Blue Cat]

Many thanks to everyone who turned up today and brought tickets - for anyone who wants to find us over the weekend, we are right behind the Jaguar Stand with the Gray R8

Also big thanks to Shaun and Lee (maddad) who came along today to help out, esp Lee who was amazing by not only cleaning the car but was fantastic in helping me set-up and gave so much time on the stand. Thank you your help made a real difference to the day

Hi Jane, it was a pleasure and for a very worthy cause! I hope today went well and that all goes well tomorrow, I was absolutely amazed at the generosity and support of Joe public for Help the Hero's - it was also fantastic to speak to so many ex-service men and women who came onto the stand to donate, each and every one had a story to tell.

If you are going to the FOS on Sunday make sure you pop along to the Help for Hero's stand and make a donation, it does not have to be much (although the more the better) and every penny counts!

Also, if you have ever wondered what an Audi R8 converted for use by a disabled person looked like you could find out by popping along.....

Just in case you are not sure what to look for (as the stand is a little understated);

[scoobydude]

You're near where I am this year, I'll make a point of popping in tomorrow. It's a worthy cause, and deserving of as much attention/donation as possible.

[ThunderSpook]

I'll be honest, I never found your stand either...

[Ian Davidson]

It was very hard to find.

I tried on both days and then suddenly, when I had just commited to finding my girlfriend on the Nissan stand, to tell her I was going home, I found the stall!

I hope I win the raffle

[scoobydude]

I made it as promised, I got me a wristband but somehow completely missed the fact there was a raffle. I was the "only guy in a suit" BTW

[ariel]

bought my ticket, quite like the idea of accelerating using the hand controls.

[RT/10Dave]

I'm really sorry Jane, but, despite your email telling me where you were, I didn't manage to find you on Friday... I hope you had a great weekend!

[Blue Cat]

Well I have finally counted all the money and I am delighted to say that we managed to raise over £6,000 which is fantastic.

Huge praise to Lee, Shaun, Chris, Alex, Nathan, and Nigel for your help and thank you to everyone who came along and donated -it was because of you the total so much!!!

Also a special thanks to Lee for all the work on the car, my husband was very impressed when he saw it on Sunday - he thought I have got it professionally done - hope you got your nails cleaned

Even through I didn't get off the stand to see any of the show until Sunday, it was a great event and what surprised me was about half of the people I spoke to on the stand appeared to be there for first time.

I was also surprised by how popular the R8 was especially when you consider what else was there.
My favourite thing had to be the Eurofighter Typhoon

Once again, thanks to everyone and sorry if you haven't had a call from me, you haven't won the weekend

[Ian Davidson]

Hey Blue Cat, I had 3 missed calls on the Sunday, was it you trying to tell me I'd won?
