BU flies high at Air Festival

19 August 2009

BU is proud to be supporting the Bournemouth Air Festival which comes to town this week.

BU is delighted to be one of the official supporters of the MORE Bus Bournemouth Air Festival, which takes place from Thursday 20 until Sunday 23 August 2009.

Colleagues from BU's Marketing and Communications team will be manning the University's stand across the four days to join in the fun and promote its courses to visitors and the local community.

The BU team will be running a paper plane competition with the chance to win a ride in a hot air balloon and a Park and Ride scheme will also be operating from Talbot Campus.

The free festival, held along the promenade between the two piers, has been planned and organised by Bournemouth Tourism. The BU stand can be found in zone 2 near lamp post 18.

Thousands of people are expected to descend upon Bournemouth seafront to see some of the amazing military aircraft and displays including the world’s only formation wing walking team – Team Guinot, Yakovlevs Aerobatic Team.

There will also be appearances from The Blades Aerobatic Display Team, The Matadors, Spitfire, Mustang, Sally-B, Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, Eurofighter Typhoon and three displays by the Red Arrows.

The festival includes a firework display, family fun attractions, music and live entertainment.

BU looks forward to seeing you there!
