Great news all...Its on again in 2016...........Just wanted post the below message from John and the team and also get you all to get 2016's date in your diary.
Again a big well done to all who helped and contributed to the money raised in 2015...truly amazing.
Hi everybody
Well was that a brilliant show or what , even I have to admit that the main arena was awesome and the air show was an absolute legend , and as for the george sale , that will be remembered for a long time and we must thank all the dedicated george staff that gave their time for nothing to make the george tent the very best it's ever been.
Well some of you might be aware that Asda said that they might have a problem with “on your marks “in the future, as they had changed their ethics in February 2014 ,and would only allow us to run this year's show (2014) on last year's (2013) ethics .
Both Chris and myself have been battling away since last august, and have finally managed to persuade Asda ethics to allow us to Carry on with
“on your marksâ€. We would like to thank all at asda ethics for helping us get this through , and they have now given us the green light to carry on with this extraordinary day that so many thousands of people and asda colleague's now love and enjoy , and some say is better than the “Goodwood festival of speed “ because you can get “ up close and personal “ to all the cars , trucks, and aircraft.
You all might have noticed that we didn't have as many sponsors at the 2014 show , so we started the show £7,500 down on other years and both of us thought that we just wouldn't break the record we had set the year before at £53,850 ,
Well we must stop underestimating you all , because you have all smashed it again , We can now tell you all that this years “on your marks total is
£58,843,62
We both would like to take this time to thank all the car clubs , truck manufacturers , sponsor's , Asda staff , Asda sub-contractors , Bruntingthorpe, and A1cones for all their help in making this extraordinary amount of money for the male cancer charity Orchid .
This will bring the grand total that “on your marks has raised to £428,693,62.
Chris and myself will be doing it all again for our fifteenth year on Saturday 6th august 2016
Merry Christmas to you all ,
and may your god go with you .
Regards john & Chris
