HELP US TO SPREAD THE WORD

The word is spreading but you still have lots of time to spread it further. Here’s another reminder of how you can help tell the world that The Tall Ships Races are coming to Wearside. Next year’s Sunderland leg will be held from July 11 to 14 and we want the people of the North East to get involved. How? By following these instructions. 1. Grab a copy of the free tall ships poster which can be downloaded from https://tinyurl.com/y89uhbme. Keep it safe and take it with you on holiday. 2. When you arrive at your holiday destination, hold your poster up and have your photograph taken with it. 3. Send that picture to us – with the tag ‘Wear On Board’ – so that we can publish it. That way, we can tell the world that Sunderland is right behind the Tall Ships Races 2018. 4. Send it to us either by email to chris. cordner@jpress.co.uk, send it in a message to the Sunderland Echo Facebook page, or post a hard copy of the photograph to Chris Cordner, Sunderland Echo, Alexander House, Rainton Bridge Business Park, Houghton-leSpring, Sunderland, DH4 5RA. Don’t forget to include some information about yourself and contact details, so we can find out more about your visit. Our campaign lasts right up until the races become reality in Sunderland in July next year. But the word is out. Let’s spread it far and wide and make sure the world knows – Wear On Board for a fantastic festival of fun.
