Remember, remember the 5th of November
For the past 15 years, I have organised help from the Rotary Clubs in Cheltenham to help with the organisation of the magnificent fireworks display run by the CHELTENHAM ROUND TABLE.
They have asked for help again this year. We have to turn up at 4 .30 p.m. to attend the briefing meeting in the OX WING BAR, within the Grandstand complex. This allows us to gain parking on site by the Hall of Fame entrance. Then we are allocated some steward duties. Previously this was either taking money on the gate or assisting the public with their enquiries. The fireworks go off around 7.30 p.m.
Last year, all the tickets were sold on line in advance. So a lot of our members were sent to the Best Mate Stand area to be present at the fun fair!!
The pre-sold tickets were then checked on pre- set mobile phone apps.
Nevertheless, there were many advantages of helping. Free entry to see the fireworks; a 1 course supper is provided for all helpers; and there was a bar set up for a drink to accompany the food.
But, in addition, historically our Club has benefitted greatly from the surplus profits on the evening.
The event was an outstanding success last year. And our Club alone were given £3000 towards our charity funds.
So, if any younger or newer members, and their partners, would like to help, please let me know.
