BRM Day Charity Cheque Presentations

The Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance Cheque Presentation

Members of the BRM Day Committee were delighted to be able to present the proceeds of BRM Day to the event's two main charities, the Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance Charitable Trust, and the Bourne Outdoor Pool Trust, on Saturday, 8th December 2012.

£15,000 was presented to each charity as a result of the event, which could not have happened without the support of the event sponsors and the public who helped raise money by purchasing event programmes, and by making donations on the day.

The committee began the day by gathering at the Bourne Outdoor Pool, where Committee Chairman Rick Hall presented members of the Bourne Outdoor Pool Trust with their donation from the event. Percy the Penguin Bin, who was found by event committee members after he was stolen from the pool earlier this year, was also in on the action.

The committee then travelled to RAF Waddington, the base of the Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance, where the helicopter hovered over the Yardley BRM to be photographed for the press. The donation will go towards the upkeep of the helicopter, which helps to save lives in the region.

BRM Day Committee Member Richard Bostock said: "Today's cheque presentation's made all the hard work organising the event worthwhile. It is really great to see that the money raised from the event is going to good causes. Hopefully, with the Official DVD expected to be available around Easter, we will be able to continue to raise money for these two great charities"
