UPDATE.

Ok people a little update and some important information that needs to be understood.

Had a lovely visit to Tedworth House today to sort out some of the finer details with Caroline from Help 4 Heros. As we are on an MOD base, I have been asked to ask all those attended to send a copy of the insurance cover notes for the cars concerned. It seems to be an MOD thing, as the premises is the old officers mess at the Tidworth Garrison and is still an active MOD base.
Photographs will be allowed only where the cars are located and at the entrance. No photographs are allowed of the front of the building which fronts the Southern Polo Grounds. Not sure why but its an MOD stipulation.

Now the good bits.

Assemble at 11am on the entrance road to the H4H centre. This is so that we can organise the cars into the right spaces inside the premises. The main event, will be as follows.

12:00 hrs.
The event is open to H4H residents and families.

12:30 hrs.
BBQ will be started and food will be served until about 15:00 hrs.

12:00 - 14:00 hrs.
A magician will be around for the families and who ever else ...

13:30 - 15:30 hrs.
The band called Burbank will be playing to entertain everybody.

16:00 hrs onwards.
Event will finish and we can either go and find a nice place for a meal or drive to wherever we fancy. Its a lovely area.

Those wishing to park up and not drive out are welcome to do so. I need to know this so that they can be positioned at the right location in the venue.

All others can take it in turns to go for a drive with a passenger which is what its all about.

Over all the day is about giving something back to the forces vets who have given us so much. Not a lot to ask.

I was hoping to run a raffle, but due to lack of gifts from companies. This is not now possible.

If you can please confirm via PM that you are attending and if you could also send a copy of your insurance so that I can forward this as a few emails to H4H and they can pass this on to the relevant MOD person.

Looking forward to this and it will be something different for us.

@Dalek Thats great news. It will be good to see you. Will update when the insurance is through.
 
Hi Paul
Definitely attending this one, being an ex serviceman will be a pleasure to take somebody less fortunate for a spin in the countryside.

Giving Something Back 29th July 2018.

Help 4 Heros Tedworth House, Tidworth, Wiltshire.

OK Folks, Further to my other post which I will link now to this one. The date is Sunday 29th July 2018, the venue will be Tedworth House, Tidworth, Wiltshire.

Family day for the Ex forces who have given us so much. In return we give our time for a day. One site BBQ and some music. Small groups will drive out with a passenger from Tedworth House for a short run through the countryside to make them laugh and enjoy the BMW Zed experience. Its a small ask for you to drive an ex service person around the countryside for a lovely run. The routes will be posted later and will be a choice of two or three so you can return and maybe go again if you feel like it.

The BBQ will be free for all those running about in the zeds but I am proposing a donation of say £3 a head to help out if that is acceptable with everybody. The centre is amazing and having just had a tour, the facilities are world class from indoor ski slopes to gyms and music rooms all to help rehabilitate the wounded. I am sure you will appreciate what these people do.

A question has been raised regarding insurance liabilities and passengers, as we are not doing it for hire or reward I can not see an issue on my own insurance but I would suggest you check yours to make sure the small print is not an issue.

We will be parking on the inner area of Tedworth House and the venue is an ex forces officers mess. A great day will be had. I hope to run a raffle on the day and I am looking for some little things to give away. Will contact BMW and see what can be sourced. All money raised will go to Help 4 Heros.

Please state if you will be bringing a passenger too as they can enjoy the BBQ and music and also head out if you want to do a few laps, so to speak.

Hi Paul,
I don't know if I'm too late, but just thought I would ask you to accept myself and Annie as participants in your endeavour.

More than happy to add you to the list. Just need you to send your insurance by pm.

Not quite sure what that means. pm? I'm insured with SAGA comprehensively.

PM is a private message. We can use it so we don’t broadcast private details in the open forum. If you click on the name of the person you want to message and then click “start conversation”. Then it opens up a chat that only you two can see. Hope this helps.
 
Hi
I'm ex forces and from a forces family. Would love to come and help if I'm not too late. Probably without a +1 unless I find a Zed loving girlfriend in the next 4 weeks!! Can pm fully comp insurance details. Cheers. Si
