World Helicopter Day 2015

[Mick Cullen]

Extending the invite for any company or organisation that wants to hold an Open Day on World Helicopter Day (16th Aug) to submit their event details on the website {I'll add URL if Mods can give the ok} and I can add them to the world site.

There are some downloads for event organisers so you aren't going from a complete standing start. A 'fill in the blank' media release will be added for download soon that you can take and copy.

The day is an excuse/opportunity to open your doors and generate some local media publicity and public exposure. There are several open days planned around the world on the day so should be a bit of fun.

Happy to field any questions and help out if you do want to be involved through your own event.

Hope you can follow along on social media - search on Facebook + Twitter

For website you can Google 'world helicopter day'
