The Jersey International Air Rally 2008
Yes the Jersey International Air Rally will return after a year off.
The 2008 Rally has been set back by 1 month with the blessing of the new, very GA friendly, Airport Director, Julian Green.
It is now Friday 27th to Sunday 29th June 2008.
Hopefully we will miss the weather problems that often affect the Spring Bank Holiday.
In 2008 the competitions will most likely be similar (not to say we won’t surprise you all).
In 2008 you will have the choice to pre pay for the whole Rally package (the same as the previous Rallies, rooms in the Pomme d’Or Hotel and all requirements catered for) or simply to pay the Rally entrance fee, which includes all competitions, welcome drink on Friday on arrival, pre-dinner drink & prize-giving dinner on Saturday night (all entrants must attend this dinner).
The second option will allow entrants to select their own accommodation, whether they want to stay in a campsite or up to a 5star hotel.
We will give the tourism website link on the application form.
In 2005 we helped a young person with a flying scholarship for a PPL, now the recipient of this award is doing an aviation degree, including a CPL.
In 2008 the theme will be ‘Helping Hands’:
‘Helping Hands’ will create a fund to provide a day’s flying and entertainment for young underprivileged, terminally ill & handicapped children in the island of Jersey.
One of man’s earliest dreams was to fly.
Many of us are lucky to have realized that dream and now, we want to give the chance to these children to share our passion.
To raise the necessary funds, we will be selling lucky envelopes containing prizes before and during the air rally week end.
At the Saturday evening prize-giving dinner, we will be holding an auction.
We look forward to renewing old acquaintances and making new friends during the 2008 air rally.
