Bit of reas but details are:
SATURDAY 8th AUGUST 2015
SAT NAVS: BATH LANE BRUNTINGTHORPE
On Your Marks has always been about seeing and doing the unusual, below is the list of confirmed items for this years show and we hope we have kept up that genre of the unusual.
We only ever book the Worlds very best entertainment for this show.
We will be at our usual venue, Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground, Leicestershire. This has been our 'home' for the past 14 years and is ideally suited for the type of day we organise. Admission price will be £10 per car and a voluntary donation of a tin or packet of food for the Salvation Army food bank who will be running the admission gate with volunteers?
The hotel deal.
We have confirmed our usual special deal at the Hinckley Island 4 star Hotel for just £57 per night per double room or twin for 2 with breakfast (from 06,00) included , that’s only £28.50 each, for the 7th August, and the same deal for the 8th August 2014.
If anyone does want to take advantage of this fantastic deal, all you have to do when booking (Telephone 01455 631122) is quote our reference 'OYM57' and you will get the £57 rate.
Just across the roundabout there are 2 local pubs, the Hinckley Knight and the Three Pots Harvester where you can get good quality beer and food at a very reasonable price.
On Your Marks charities
Well we must be mad but we are going to do it all again on the Saturday 8th August 2015 at Bruntingthorpe in Leicestershire, and this year we will be doing the show for “Orchid “the Male cancer charity. At 14.00 we open a special Pitt’s area and we ask all the special cars to take around some 20 very special guests from Wishes 4 kids and their families.
www.on-your-marks.info
Our WEBSITE is up and running so you can look for all the information you might need, such as maps and information on the day. There is also a face book page, just type in On Your Marks and you should get to it.
Why we do it?
On Your Marks started over twelve years ago, we had a driver called Mark Hickingbottom, who was dying of lymphatic cancer after serving his country in the first gulf war, we approached the owner of Bruntingthorpe (David Walton) and asked if we could have a day with some trucks and a few cars on the proving ground, and he said yes. This went very well and we made £7,500 for his family but unfortunately Mark died a week before the event.
The car clubs that came on the day asked if we could carry on with the event, so we approached his family and asked if we could do the day in his memory and use his name,
Thirteen years down the line we have risen over £369,850+ for cancer charities, and if you add the money the charities have made on the day we must be well over £450,000, and we now get
20,000 colleagues, friends and family there on the day. An indication on how big” On Your Marks "is now, on the first year we put up 350 metres of plastic safety fencing, well this year we have just ordered 6,100 metres of steel safety fencing that’s 6.1 kilometres’.
We insist that the charities are there on the day and that some of the sick children can hopefully attend , then at 14.00 on the day we open a special Pit for them and call all the special cars in for them to get in and go around the track for free and their parents and siblings. This is very special and is the pay back for all the hard work that myself and chris put in; we both walk away with a tear in our eyes,
The companies that help us put this on, and the deal is that their employees can come as well and enjoy the day ,we have to give a special mention to A1+ cones , they have supported us for about eleven years now , and without them we could not put on this extraordinary show,
A1+.cones they come in and put out over 1,700 road cones, and then pick them up the same night and sweep the track for 8 hours on the day before the show so the track is really clean,
