Season 4, Ep. 23
You've done it again; the support for the Birr Breakfast Fly-in has been outstanding - over 129 aircraft, their passengers and crew arriving in Birr to kick off the 2023 aviation season, enjoying breakfast and raising over 13,600 euros for SVP in Birr on Saturday, April 15th. This sees the total raised so far to just over 335,600 euros. It was a fantastic day - thank you, and we look forward to seeing you in Weston for Breakfast on July 29th, where the fundraising efforts will continue with your support. Again on behalf of the organisers - Thank you. Here's our report from the event.
