Good News or the Bad news first?

Bad News

Well since our last post we have been busy trying to raise corporate sponsors, unfortunately just heard from another one (as I have now come to expect) and it’s no surprise that they can’t help. This is the common thing about doing anything for charities,  companies are hit up so often by us “Charity folks” that unless they haven’t already designated their budget for the year to their chosen charity already, or that you meet their criteria….(?) you have in short an incredibly slim chance of getting anywhere no matter how unique your activity is or how much free publicity your prepared to offer in return.

But have no fear we don’t back down, we stand up, dust off and try the next one!

Equipment still required:

• Helmets: we found two in Evans that would suit to a “T” as they were lightweight and looked bang on for the style of bikes but they were just way to pricy at £120, we have 15% off vouchers from previous letter sent to Evans but can’t justify their costs really and would rather give the cash to the charities.
• White Jerseys we have found a cheap supplier all we need now just need the cash to buy at least 4 each and some shorts, luckily a friend is going to print up for us with all our sponsors!    
• Nutrition for the week to keep the 5-6000 calorie burn off a day at bay.

 Good news

 We managed to secure trade discounts for the nutrition from 2 of the biggest suppliers in the country, down side is we just need the cash to pay for it-ha!

 Until next time SC out!
