Help For Heroes ChallengeAre You Up for It?
THE SPONSORED SKYDIVE!Strathclyde Help for Heroes SocietySlide2
A bit about us....Brand New Society only affiliated in October 2010Past four months we’ve held an Awareness Raising Stall in the Union, sold Official H4H Wristbands, held a Commando Themed Charity Pub Crawl, helped out at a Church Event dedicated to H4H, held a Pub Quiz, a Valentines Bake Stall and been interviewed by Real Radio!
So far we’ve managed to raise just under £600 for ‘our blokes’And we still have a Geek Themed Social, a bag pack and the skydive to go....Slide3
The Charity"It’s about the 'blokes', our men and women
of the Armed Forces. It’s about Derek, a rugby player who has lost both his legs, it’s about Carl whose jaw is wired up so he has been drinking through a straw. It’s about Richard who was handed a mobile phone as he lay on the stretcher so he could say goodbye to his wife. It’s about Ben, it’s about Steven and
Andy
and Mark, it’s about them all. They are just blokes but they are our blokes; they are our heroes. We want to help our heroes

Practical, direct support for our wounded.Slide4
The SKYDIVE...For beginners....The Tandem Jump!

THE SKYDIVE...For the more daring amongst us...The Solo Static Line Jump!
Jump solo from 3,500ftNo experience necessary6 Hour Training requiredBest option if you’re thinking of takingup skydiving as a hobby! Slide6
So who can take part?Anyone and everyone!Students, staff, researchers, even people who have no association with the University!Our aim is simply to raise as much money for Help for Heroes as possible this Summer!Slide7
Cool, so when is it?Saturday 2nd – Sunday 3rd July 2011
Strathallan Skydiving CentreTraining for the Solo Static Line Jump will be held on Saturday while those doing the Tandem are jumping. On the Sunday, everyone doing a Solo will jump along with the last of the Tandem Jumpers!Slide8
But where will I stay?This is where the fun begins...As part of your weekend,
accomodation is included in the price and will be provided by the centre.
The catch? You will
need a sleeping
bag
– we’re camping!
And that’s not all we have planned…Slide9
The entertainment...We have to be honest with you, as a Society we love a good lash up!So whether you’ll be calming those
last minute jumping nerves or justgetting over the fright of jumping,we’ve got a Yank styled FRAT PARTY planned for you all on the Saturday night!
Expect Keg stands, camp fires and
Burgers! Yeah, we thought it was pretty damn good too.Slide10
Sounds good so far, but how do i get there?The Mode of Transport will of course be dependent on numbers.
The plan at the moment is to organise a Car Poole amongst those going but obviously if numbers for the event are more than we first anticipated then Mini Buses will be booked instead.Those who kindly offer their services for the Car Poole will of course be refunded for their petrol.Slide11
Okay, how much? A Skydive, sponsored or not, was always going to be an expensive event but we’ve tried to keep the costs down for you as much as possible. We understand that money is tight for everyone right now and we also want to raise as much money as possible for
Help for Heroes.
