FRAMLINGHAM 2012 - OLYMPIC FLAG PARADE - FRIDAY 27th JULY
This event is being coordinated by the Framlingham Business Association who have asked us to promote this event for them:
Celebrate & take part in this historic event - by donating a minimum of £2.50 per person you will be able to join the parade of flags leaving Framlingham College on FRIDAY 27th JULY and finishing on Market Hill in time to watch the Opening Ceremony on the GIANT Screen.
There will be flags from all participating countries (hopefully 205) and Framlingham will have its own torch & flame. The event is being organised by a number of groups in the town who form the Combined Framlingham 2012 Committee. They have provided the donation cards which are being distributed with this letter. The cards WITH donation money can be returned to the school in an envelope or deposited at The Coop, Post Office or Bulstrodes.
