IRELAND’S PARACHUTE JUMP NEXT WEEK!</p><p>I am writing to tell you that on Monday, 20th June, I will be making my way to Dunkeswell Airfield, Near Honiton, in order to undertake a tandem skydive to raise money for the Starcross PTFA.</p><p>As well as hopefully raising between £300-£500, I will also be helping the providers, Skydive Buzz, to break the Guinness World Record for the highest number of tandem skydives from the ultimate height (15,000ft / flight level 150) in one day. </p><p>I am, of course, a little nervous, but I am really looking forward to undertaking this in order to hopefully raise some useful funds for the PTFA, which will ultimately come back to the children, their activities and their resources.</p><p>If you’re willing, I would love you to sponsor me for this event. </p><p>I’d like to raise a minimum of £300-£500 for this, and if every family contributes £2.50, we’ve already made around £360 ! Any amount would do, but if you’re willing to sponsor me with anything more than that, then I’m sure that we can easily meet and exceed our outer target of £500, and beyond!</p><p>To sponsor me, it’s easy really. Just send back the slip with your sponsorship money, or your commitment to sponsor me, and it’s as easy as that. I’ll say a special thank you to everyone who sponsored me after the event, and if I’m allowed to use my own camera, I’ll hold a very quick screening of the jump after school one day next week.</p><p>I’d love as many of you as possible to support me and the school. It promises to be a scary, but worthwhile activity as a fundraiser, and I hope that together we can raise a significant amount for the children at school.</p><p>Regards</p><p>Iannis Ireland</p><p>Head Teacher REPLY SLIP</p><p>NAME OF CHILD………………………………………CLASS……………………….</p><p>I would like to support Mr. Ireland in his record-breaking skydive on Monday, 20th </p><p>June, and please find enclosed my sponsorship of………………………………..</p><p>This is a : (delete as appropriate)</p><p>STRAIGHT DONATION / PLEDGE TO BE PAID AFTERWARDS</p><p>Please return slip as soon as possible please.</p>
