| Team BOFA4x4 are again competing in the 2009 MAC 4x4 UK Challenge and more importantly, raising funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. In 2009, Team BOFA4x4 are providing 9 out of the total 60 teams taking part and have set our selves the massive target of £20K - to be raised by sponsorship, personal donations and of course fund raising events such as this one ......... The BOFA '360' MAC CHALLENGE.
What is the BOFA '360' MAC Challenge? This is a single day 4x4 challenge taking place in and around Cannock Chase on Saturday 23 August 2008, combining both on and off road driving, along with associated navigational skills - in a similar style to the MAC 4x4 UK Challenge.
What will the format be? In keeping with the spirt if the 'MAC' event, details will only be revealed on a stage by stage basis, with participants not having any prior knowledge of the event. However, as a guideline, the event is expected to be as follows:
Start: The Pines Cafe, Units 12-13 Chase Enterprise Centre, Hednesford, Staffs. WS12 0QW
Stage1: Short road stage - approx 6 miles long
Stage2: Off Road (approx 4 hrs) Cannock Chase
Stage3: Scatter Navigation (on road)*
Stage4: Tulip Navigation (on road)*
*combined road mileage of Stages 3 & 4 is approx 60miles
Finish: The Chase pub, Hagley Road, Rugeley, Staffs. WS15 2AW
Why is the event called the BOFA '360 MAC Challenge'? Well two main reasons,
1) the event will take all participants on a large loop (through 360 degrees)
2) we aim to raise a minimum of 360 pounds from the event e.g.
12 teams x 30 quid each = 360 pounds!
Entry Fee Entry fee is via a donation to the Team BOFA4x4 MAC fund for 2009
http://www.justgiving.com/teambofa4x42009
The suggested min donation is 30 pounds per team - DON'T FORGET GIFT AID (if you're a UK tax payer, make sure you tick the right boxes and Macmillan can claim a further 28% from the government in tax relief at no cost to you).
