At the 2011 RAF Benson Families Day on August 25th, a cheque for £7,000
was presented to members of the Thames Valley & Chiltern Air Ambulance
trust to whom we support and are based at Benson, by members of the Air
& Country Show committee. Included in this total were donations made
from the Abingdon MG Car Works Centre rally entrants, Nationwide, a
small amount of participants, & Enterprise which were generated for the
show which took place this year on May 8th.
The total donation given to the Thames Valley & Chiltern Air
Ambulance
Trust since 2007 now stands at £22,500.
Our previous charity, The Helen & Douglas House in Oxford recieved a
further £14,000 from shows held in 2001 -2006.
The donation is decided after all the essential bills have been paid
(which are high!), with the remainder split, with a large proportion
held back in the show accounts so to kick start the following years
show, with the rest donated to the chosen charity.
The Organising Committee would like to thank everyone for their support
in 2011 and look forward to welcoming them to the 13th Annual Abingdon
Air & Country Show on May 6th 2012
