Do we have to raise funds for charity?
Yes, however you can raise funds for any charity close to your own heart, we would ask though, that if you are intending to raise funds for charity, that the first £100 of your fundraising goes directly to Blind Veterans UK
ELIGIBILITY TO ENTER
A MINIMUM of one member of each team is required to be either a serving member or a veteran of the armed forces.
The remaining team members can be made up of family/friends.
A “Banger Rally” is as the name suggests, an organised event, bringing together Veterans from all areas of the Armed Forces, that share a common goal of driving a clapped-out banger via a 2500+ mile challenge around Europe in a bid to raise funds for charity.
The older and more knackered the car, the better. Cover the rust and cracks with stickers and “gaffa tape” and away we go…….
