Fairford Festival Sponsorship

Winning Inch web design and marketing was delighted to develop the race entry system for the Fairford Festival. With the race over the system registered over 450 entries using a custom solution consisting of MySql database, PHP, JavaScript and Ajax to provide a simple interface with a robust architecture.

The solution proved invaluable when the race lost its major sponsor within weeks of the race. Fortunately all entrants were informed to collect their running numbers on the day averting a major disaster.

New sponsors were found and the race was able to be run.

If a manual system was used, as in previous years, the race would have been cancelled as it would have been impossible to communicate with everyone to keep them up to date with what was going on.

A great day was had by all and the race registration system delivered to an overall charity contribution of circa £4,000.

Registration for the 2010 race is now open and Winning Inch web Design and Marketing look forward to supporting the race event for another year.
