On Wednesday 18 April 2012, Broadgate Mainland will host the inaugural ‘Neil Mainland Go-Karting Cup’ charity event at the Tower Bridge Team Sport indoor karting centre.
The event is being held to commemorate Neil’s life and raise money for two excellent charities; Macmillan Cancer Support and The Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research.
While many of you will be familiar with Macmillan Cancer Support Fund, the Bobby Moore Fund was set up in memory of legendary footballer Bobby Moore, who sadly died from bowel cancer aged just 51. The money raised is spent by the Fund on high-quality bowel cancer research carried out by leading scientists working across the UK.
With your support we aim to run this event annually and compete for the cup. The go-karting challenge is a fitting event to combine Neil’s passion for motor sport, albeit not as fast as Formula 1, and his sense of enjoyment in life as typified by one of Neil’s mottos ‘life is good’.
There will be 16 teams of three drivers completing for the ‘Neil Mainland – life is good’ Cup and to secure your team we are asking for an entry fee of £900. The evening’s activities will commence at 6.30pm and include food and drink (alcoholic drinks only served after the prize giving).
Teams will compete in a series of heats with points allotted for each person and the team with the most points will be awarded the ‘Neil Mainland – Life is good’ Cup. Team slots are already going fast and one will be lead by Angus Mainland, Neil’s son and an expert kart driver!
While it may already be too late to secure your team’s entry, please make a contribution by contacting Crystal Storan, Zoe Butt or me as all the money raised will be going directly to these fine charities.
On the evening guests are welcome to come and admire or laugh at the ability of the teams’ driving skills.
The team at Broadgate Mainland looks forward to welcoming you.
