Hi guys,
sorry for the long break in updates but real life took over for a while and i have been swamped with work. Maybe one day I can sit back, relax and enjoy being a race team rider and manager haha. Maybe... but for now the day job keeps me afloat!
Ok so back to the real reason for this post.
The Compass cup 2016!
The compass cup is a once yearly event where all the local clubs from the ACU meet up and compete.
As all of our clubs are primarily schoolboy clubs the majority of the competitors range from 6-17 years old.
Each year we beg and borrow for sponsorship so as the season is almost over for this year I thought I would give steemit the chance to step in and help the kids out. The club is completely non profit based and as such relys heavily on the good will of the parents and local companys.
I will still be running the Factory Steemit team for next season and I’m making great progress, but as this is still in the planning stages I wanted to get something going right now! I have put aside my teams work for the next few weeks to help out on this. The race is October 21st so there is a lot to do in a short space of time!
All the people involved in this are doing this for free, they volunteer their time and energy for the club and for the kids. I think it would be great to give them something back for this effort. Oh and by the way... I'm not riding for the team and I’m not involved in the day on race day! I'm doing this simply to help them out and to promote Steemit. Every single Steem $ from this post will be used and donated to the team.
So I would like to raise enough sponsorship to pay for the teams shirts and kit. Plus, I thought it would be great to get a big steemit banner made as well to really push the message across. There will be six clubs at race day from across the south east of England. The event will be covered online and also in local publications and newspapers, it's a great chance to promote steemit! :)
For anyone who didn’t know my local club is Mid Sussex Motocross Club
http://www.msmxc.co.uk
For Mid Sussex Motocross Club there will be 35 team members and a manager representing us for the cup.
There are 5 riders in each class:
| Class | Age group |
|---|---|
| Autos | 6 – 8 years |
| Juniors | 7 – 10 years |
| Small Wheel | 9 – 12 years |
| Big Wheel | 11 – 15 years |
| Youth Open | 14 – 17 years |
| Adult B | 35+ |
| Adult A | 17-34 |
Once/ if we get enough funding I will work on some designs for the kit and post them here to show you guys. All Steem $ earned in these posts will be passed on to the team. I will be doing all the design, ordering and running about for free. As with everyone who helps out at the club it is all voluntary.
For these kids it’s an amazing chance to get to ride and compete against the best the south of England has to offer. Their first chance to take on the best! Let’s give them something to remember :)
As Always a massive thank you to every single person who comments, follows and votes for my projects. You guys rock and i couldn't do it without you!
So please steemit it would be a great start to the Factory Steemit project to be able to sponsor the team event!
Let’s do this :)
P.S.
