Hi Everyone,

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow to jump.

Please make sure you arrive on time for your slot - if you do not have one then you need to contact Maggie Cheung at: 07554889110 to book your slot!!

Also - some of you are already doing an amazing effort with fundraising - but we'd love it if as many of you as possible could raise even a small amount for Great Ormond Street - so sign up and make your page here:
https://www.raise2give.com/uclu-rag-bungee-in-the-quad-2013/
Once you've made your page, perhaps post it as your status...not only so friends can give show their support, but also so that they know the details of when are where the event is so they can come watch you.

If you have any questions about tomorrow, please do reply to this e-mail and we will get back to you ASAP. Other than that - really looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow...Bring along as many friends (and family) that you would like to support - the more the merrier!! Plus - if those friends decide they want to jump on the day, they are more than welcome so spread the word!

Much love, (and excitement)
RAG

Hi Everyone,

Keep up the excellent fundraising - some of you have done such a fantastic job!! Others still need to finish completing their minimum raise...so either get the page out to friends or family, or you can complete it yourself :)

As for prizes - 
If everyone can send in photos to Valentin: valentin_ivanov33@yahoo.com

Another massive congratulations to you all for your amazing efforts!

If by any chance you are now looking for the next big challenge...
Tomorrow RAG are holding a bungee jump in the quad. Tickets are on the uclu online shop!! It is cheaper to buy now than on the day - and if you do you can contact Maggie (her number is on the online ticket information) to get the best time slot for you!!

Dear members and Jailbreak participants,

Our biggest event for the year is now over and the results are in! This year we had about 70 people competing in more than 20 teams! Although the number of participants was noticeably smaller than last year, we have had some amazing results with seven teams beating the 1000km mark!

*Drum roll*

In 7th place- The Bee Trio- Nice- 1033km
In 6th place- Team Die Hard- Genoa- 1038km (close!)
In 5th place- Antonio and Jasmin- Barcelona- 1143km
In 4th place- B Cubed- Florence- 1214km

In 3rd place- Looking for Oz- Vienna- 1238km
In 2nd place- There & Back Again- Warsaw- 1452km

And, the clear winners, having traveled more than 5588km to New York City are...

Team Morph!!!

Congratulations to all of the teams! You have been amazing, your efforts and sacrifices have been great, you have been sleep deprived, you starved and humiliated yourselves, tarnishing your image constantly as you fought for every kilometer away from UCL, away from the ordinary, away from your comfort zone- to explore, to be different and, most of all, help the great cause that World Child Cancer is! On behalf of the whole UCLU & RUMS Raise and Give Society, I thank every single one of you for your participation, your effort and the funds that you have all managed to raise for charity! We love you!

Sincerely,

RAG Committee Team

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to say a massive congratulations to everyone involved in Jailbreak this weekend!! You all did an absolutely fantastic job - and we hope you all had a really enjoyable weekend.

Although the final results will not be published for a couple of days while we work it all out - I think it is safe to say that this year's winners are Team Morph - who blagged a flight to New York city and made UCLU Jailbreak history for being the first ever to get out of Europe!!

Keep going with your fundraising = Get your final results up on facebook and e-mailed around to friends and family...you all deserve lots and lots of sponsorship for the perseverance and determination with which you all took on the challenge. 

Do start sending in photos and videos, challenges etc to valentin_ivanov33@yahoo.com

All the very best - and well done to you all!!!!

Hi Everyone,

PRE-DEPARTURE MEETING IS COMPULSORY TO ATTEND - AND THERE ARE 2 TO CHOOSE FROM:
Wednesday 20th (tomorrow): 5pm Chadwick G07
Thursday 21st: 5pm Roberts Building 106

It is absolutely essential that you and your team mates attend one of these meetings. Your names will be ticked off to show you have been there, because we have to run through the health and safety and make sure your disclaimer forms are in. Also you will be given your information pack - which is full of useful information for your upcoming adventure.

So remember, please bring your disclaimers along to hand in.

And make sure you are signed up on raise2give.com and start your fundraising!! Some of you are doing an amazing job - and others still need to start. Now is the perfect opportunity to begin because you have a few more full days to get sponsored before the event begins.

All the best,
RAG

Hi,

You are taking part in this year's Jailbreak adventure!

Here is a checklist of the things you need to be thinking about so far:

1.) Signing up to the tracking system. THIS IS A MUST FOR SAFETY REASONS, and it is how you raise your £50 minimum sponsorship for the worthy cause World Child Cancer. Instructions on how to sign up are below.

2.) Raising your £50. It is imperative that you raise the minimum sponsorship - Some teams are already doing a fantastic job, but it would be so great if all of you could raise as much as possible to be last year's total of £19,000!!

3.) Getting your team ready: I'm talking costumes, placards saying what you are doing (with big font so car drivers can see) supplies, a phone with definite roaming etc.

4.) Attached is a disclaimer form. YOU MUST FILL THIS IN AND RETURN IT at one of the pre-departure meetings next week - failure to do so will mean you cannot attend the event. So make sure you have it done and ready to hand in next week.


Those of you who bought more than one ticket, the friends you have bought tickets for are not included in this mailing list as we do not know who they are...If that is you - could you i.) forward this e-mail to them. ii.) E-mail their name, team name to charlotte.humphries@btinternet.com so i can add their name to the list for insurance purposes.

Thanks all, and keep fundraising :)

RAG

Hi Everyone,

Jailbreak is happening in two weeks time on the 23-24th February...which means you'll need to buy your tickets asap.

The deadline for buying is the end of this week...as it is important that you have enough time to register at raise2give to sign up to the tracking system and get going on your fundraising. You also MUST have bought your tickets before the pre-departure meetings that are happening in the week before the event.
Signing up to raise2give is quick and easy...just follow the link to the site event page on raise2give below and click MAKE MY PAGE to get going. Each participant must raise a minimum of £50 - but we all really want to beat last year's total of £19,000 and give a great total to the charity World Child Cancer!
https://www.raise2give.com/uclu-rag-jailbreak-2013/

So... here is the ticket link to make life easier:

And if you have any questions that couldn't be answered during last week's information session please let me know at:
charlotte.humphries@btinternet.com

Thanks,
RAG

Hi,

Heard of the Bungee Jump last year, but didn't get a go? Now is your chance!

We're hiring in a 50t crane which will be positioned within the quad for people to bungee jump from! It literally is the experience of a lifetime.. Last year over 100 people took the challenge and jumped 50ft into the quad to raise money for charity.

It's happening on March 5th, with participants jumping all day. It costs £50 if you buy in advance or £60 on the day although we can't guarantee we will still have timeslots available on the day so sign up early to guarantee your place! We will let you know as soon as tickets are available online via the UCLU online shop. The jumping is 100% safe and we are using a very reputable company who specialise in crane bungee jumps.

There is also a fundraising aspect to this event as it is a sponsored Bungee Jump.
All money raised will go directly to Great Omond Street Hospital. In fact, if you raise over £250 we will let you jump for free! So it is definitely worth getting all your friends and family to sponsor you! We are using the site Raise2Give for sponsorship: https://www.raise2give.com/uclu-rag-bungee-in-the-quad-2013/ ;

So what are you waiting for? Click attending on this event https://www.facebook.com/events/436189596454766/?fref=ts
or buy your ticket now: http://uclu.org/whats-on/clubs-societies/rag-rums-uclu-bungee-jumping-05-03 ;
 

UCL RAG

Hi Everyone,

It's that time of year again - when you have the opportunity to take up the challenge to travel as far away from UCL as possible without using any money in only 36 hours..
In other words... It's RAG Jailbreak 2013!
https://www.facebook.com/events/537311886293465/?fref=ts ;

Last year teams got to Poland, Barcelona, Berlin, South of France - can you beat them??

The Times:
Jailbreak is happening on the weekend of the 23rd/24th February. Teams will depart UCL on the saturday morning and will have 36 hours until sunday evening to travel as far as possible. It is then up to teams to decide how to get back and how much time you are going to take (and therefore lectures miss!)

The costs:
As well as the minimum sponsorship, tickets are £30 per person which includes 7 days travel insurance and a traking device so we know where teams are at all teams and can track everyones progress through Europe and beyond!

The Sponsorship:
As well as being a crazy journey across europe, Jailbreak is also a charity event so each team member has to fundraise at least £50. Last year everyone managed at least this, with many people raising significantly more. We're aiming to beat last years total of £19,374 so get fundraising! This year all the money raised will go to World Child Cancer, a great charity and you can check them out here http://www.worldchildcancer.org/ 

The other details:
-teams can be a maximum of 3 people
-we advise fancy dress for the trip so you stand out
-we use Raise2Give for sponsorship
-in the coming weeks we will be holding information meetings for Jailbreak where more informtation can be found, times and dates will be released on here when we know them
-the event is perfectly safe and takes place at uni's all over the country
-there will be prizes for teams who travel furthest and complete the most challenges throughout the trip (the challenges are legendary and guaranteed to make for some funny moments!)

If you have any more questions then please let us know!

Hi Everyone - 


To those of you that have completed your fundraising - you are all wonderful!! 

This is just a quick reminder to those that have forgotten, that the deadline for your £30 sponsorship was 2 weeks last Saturday - so start now so you can use all your brilliant and recent photos to prove to your sponsors you have completed the challenge and get them to sponsor you.

I know from the raise2give pages some of you have yet to start - and I would be so happy if you could all try your very best. Action for Kids is a wonderful charity, and we want to do all we can to help them through this event.

Also - look out for the winners and their scores in the next day or two - it will be sent through on fb, an e-mail like this (and the winners will be notified separately)!!
