In 2010 there are three fantastic experiences to be won, exclusively for you - our Blue Oval Club Partners!
- A UEFA Champions League FINAL experience
- An amazing trip to the UEFA Super Cup FINAL in Monaco
- An exciting Ford WRC Experience at M-Sport HQ in Cumbria
BOC Partners will be placed in a league. Either;
The Mustang League
The GT40 League
The RS League
The ST League
The T' Bird League
The Cobra League
The Lincoln League
The Mexico League
The Capri League
BOC Partners' purchases from their supplying Parts Plus dealer will attract points. Blue Oval Club Partners that amass the most points will be awarded a once in a life time reward.
The first incentive - A UEFA Champions League FINAL experience took place during the weekend of the 21st to 23rd May in London with guests staying in the magnificent London Marriott County Hall Hotel.
Guests enjoyed brunch in a private capsule on the London Eye before travelling to Wembley for the Coca-Cola Championship Play-Off Final. Following this, guests headed to the private 'Executive Box' at the Sports Cafe, Haymarket, where the UCL Final was screened and Graeme Le Saux provided his insight on the match and answered guests' questions.
Before travelling home, guests enjoyed a private breakfast amongst new friends they made during the trip.
See below feedback from the event. Photographs can be found above on the right hand side:
"It was a fantastic opportunity and I feel very lucky and privileged to have experienced. I hope this is the start of something that many others will experience and enjoy the way I have. Who knows, one day I might be lucky enough to be invited again?"
"Just a quick note to say a big thank you for your professionalism and all of the hard work, that went into organising such an exciting weekend. It's been many years since I have been to London, but I can honestly say I had a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyed myself."
"...it was good to meet small independent garage owners like myself, and we all enjoyed the VIP treatment... Thank you Ford Motor Company and all at the BOC, for a spot on weekend!"
"As a small garage it was amazing to be recognised by ford for selling their products, it makes such a refreshing change in these tough times for a manufacturer to work with us independents rather than against us."
The results for the second incentive can now be announced!
Please see below all of those who have secured their place on this amazing trip to the UEFA Super Cup in Monace - FC Internazionale Milano vs. Club Atlético de Madrid.
Sun, sea and a bit of football whilst staying in a 5* Nice hotel. A beautiful setting with a view out over the Mediterranean Sea. A relaxing weekend away in the sun, sampling the delights of both Monaco and Nice.
Congratulations to all those who will be attending the Super Cup incentive. The next and final Blue Oval Club 2010 incentive - a WRC Experience begins on Monday 2nd August so good luck to all those who take part.
