idj 0 #1 November 11, 2008 Hi all! The UK university of Warwick's skydiving club are running in a competition to win a £25K budget for a skydiving event. ...think free mobile wind tunnel, free booze, and more! To win, they just need more people (than all the other entries) to "become a fan" here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sam-Lees-Seriously-Social-Party-page/94813925108 They have only 7 days to do this (so you can unjoin after the week is up...). In the UK, university skydiving clubs normally struggle for funding, so I'd really appreciate it if any of you on Facebook could help by just joining that group for 1 week Thanks!

samlee 0 #2 November 11, 2008 The event will also receive huge publicity from the sponsoring company (the mobile network provider, Three), so it will be great publicity for Skydiving in the UK! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
debussyschild 0 #4 November 12, 2008 Done. I'll try to get some of the VT (VPI & SU... it's in the US) Skydiving club to do it, too. Good luck! Sounds like an awesome thing to win."For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Jewels 0 #10 November 12, 2008 Do you have to be in the UK to become a fan? I tried to vote and could see the "fans," but there was no "become a fan" option where they said it would be on the page.TPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idj 0 #11 November 12, 2008 Not as far as I'm aware - since there are already several people signed up who are on US and not UK networks. The "Become a Fan" link isn't in the usual place when compared to events and groups - it's right at the top - like in the following picture: http://i33.tinypic.com/15i5aaw.jpg ...if that helps at all? Thanks in advance for trying! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
