Revolution Trains 'play' football for charity and prize draws - in aid of the Railway Children

[Revolution Mike]

As part of our regular charity fundraising efforts for various causes we volunteered to play in a charity 5-a-side football tournament organised by our friends at Beacon Rail and GBRf.  After months of no training we just about have a full squad thanks to some special guest star players (to be revealed!).

 

The tournament is tomorrow but as part of our fundraising we are also holding two prize draws: one for N gauge and one for OO gauge.  The N gauge draw centres around the International N gauge Show (TINGS) this weekend and the OO gauge draw will be centred around the Great Electric Train Show (GETS) in October.

 

 

Every entrant will receive at least a container as a prize (worth £7.50).

 

You may purchase as many prize draw entries as you wish – each prize draw entry purchase will enter your name into the draw once.

The draw will be made after the International N Gauge show (TINGS) on 14 September.  Online draw entry ticket sales will close on Thursday 14 September at 12:00, prize draw tickets will also be available in person at TINGS from the Revolution Trains stand.

 

Entries can be purchased from our website here: https://revolutiontrains.com/product/railway-children-prize-draw-2023/

 

Cheers Mike

Can confirm the team at Revolution are the loveliest & friendliest people in person. Was a real privilege to play against them & chat afterwards all whilst raising lots of money for charity. 
 

@Revolution chaps, drop me a DM and I’ll share my work contact details. Look forward to catching up at Warley.

Hello all,

 

Revolution made it through almost unscathed (though one team member appears to have fractured his wrist!) and we are looking forward to seeing friends old and new at The International N Gauge Show at Leamington this weekend.

 

The tournament was enormous fun and we'd like to thank hosts Beacon and GBRf and all the sportingly good natured teams who took part.  In Sparta Revolution's first match we were roundly thrashed by eventual winners Yellow Rail, and had a similar experience at the hands of Avanti, Freightliner and GBRf, but it was all in a good cause.

 

 

See you all next time!

 

cheers

 

Ben A.
