The Royal Air Forces Association wants to keep everyone near RAF Cosford and RAF Wittering in the pink at RAFA Colour Chaos on 26 August and 9 September respectively.
*If you missed our Cosford Colour Chaos, there’s still another chance to join in the fun. Our next Colour Chaos event is taking place at RAF Wittering on Sunday 9 September.
These fun family events, open to the general public, are being held within the grounds of RAF Cosford and RAF Wittering and will entail approximately 5km of colourful fun. You can run, jog, dance, walk, whatever you feel like; the one certain thing is that you will get plastered in powder paint!
The courses will pass points of interest around the two airfields, so this is great opportunity to see ‘behind the wire’ at an active RAF station. The Association’s team will be waiting to cheer you across the finish line and present you with an event medal. Money raised by the events will help fund the Association’s Storybook Wings project.
Helen Tempest, event organiser, said:
“We are all looking forward to RAFA Colour Chaos – they will both be a great family day out, with the added bonus of raising funds for Storybook Wings. This allows serving personnel working away from home to record a bedtime story that their children can listen to while they’re away. Music and sound effects are added by our volunteer editors, creating a wonderful keepsake for children missing Mummy or Daddy.”
James, an RAF parent, said:
“Prior to deploying to Kabul, I recorded The Gruffalo for my one-year-old daughter through the RAF Association Storybook Wings service. I felt so very reassured and warmed to know that she was able to hear my voice and enjoy our precious time together even in my absence. She thoroughly enjoyed the audio and book combination and I would thoroughly recommend others to use this fantastic service!”
*YOU CAN STILL TAKE PART IN THE WITTERING EVENT, no need to have booked – just turn up on the day and take part!*
If you can raise a minimum of £50 per person or £100 per family, then you will qualify for free event entry. Event details, including entry and fundraising options.
