ANNOUNCEMENT - What's Happening at ROAR 2009
Discussion
_ROAR 2009_
4th to 6th September 2009, Staverton Park, Daventry, Northamptonshire
The key objective of this year’s event is to have FUN whilst raising money for charity.
How we intend to achieve this is by inviting TVR owners to enter a team with the prime objective of winning the ‘Roar Challenge‘. The challenge will take place on the Saturday only.
We intend to run three types of challenges - agility, skill and team - with a total of nine events over the weekend. The aim being that teams enter the challenges with the objective of scoring the most points. The winning team with the most points will take the pot of money raised for their chosen charity.
We intend to raise the money by teams bringing an entry donation (each team will be required to donate money to the pot), exhibitors and a charity auction.
There will be a number of TVR owners who are connected in some way to a charity that has a need, and it is you that we want to come forward so that we can support you and your charity.
How to Enter
The deadline is 30th July 2009 to enter. Each team that enters must have at least one person available to enter into each of the challenges with a maximum of two people per challenge from each team.
If you would like to enter a team and do not know anyone else or have enough people, then please make contact with us (details below) and we will help put one together.
It is vital that each team put themselves forward and nominate a chosen charity by 30th July. We will require the full contact details of the charity so that in the event the team wins, we can contact the charity at the end of the weekend and arrange for the winning team to deliver the winning funds and arrange a photo opportunity.
The ROAR Challenge 2009
The Roar Challenge 2009 will consist of a number of disciplines based on skill, agility and team (please see list below) for which a maximum of 10 points per task will be awarded.
Bonus points will be presented to teams as follows:
For the one team that raises the most donation money (10 points)
For the team who has the most outrageous team mascot (please keep this clean as this will be a family event) (5 points)
For the team that enters wearing team colours (10 points)

1. Agility Challenge
