Recommended Posts

Tut Tut, Kev keep your opinions to your self! I was simply pointing out to anyone not wanting there posters that there is an alternative to binning them that would help the campaign in a more positive way.

two of the bikes , 2 Sat nav systems & the four mobile phones being used during the challenge will be "Auctioned off" during the cutting edge exhibition at kettering.

 

With all donations going to Children in Need. Tim (glenways) and Peter (SiServe) both offered to start the bidding at £200 for each bike. phone and email bids will be accepted!

 

good luck!

with just 15 days to go until the start of the challenge the money raised has already broken through the £1000 barrier, you can keep track of the total on the challenges website.

 

This is a great start & incentive for the early riders. this event is going to be huge success.

I have been dealing with a freelance journalist on another project & this paragraph was taken from a recent email

 

the best way of getting

coverage for the event is if the people who are cycling each stage ring up

the people relevant to their area and tell them about the event. Regional

press especially is allergic to national/blanket press coverage, they like

to know who from their area is involved. If you do that then I can see

everyone on this list covering it, which should then alert the nationals.

I'm still looking for national coverage on it as well but so far it's still

too far away from the event. I'll keep plugging away at it though.

 

Although the cycling challenge PR has given a press release to just about every media, its now time to consider contacting your local media to make the best of this opportunity. My "Contact" has also forwarded me his own contacts list, so if anyone wants a contact for a specific area, PM me & I'll see if anyone local is on this list.

I received this as part of an Email from Caroline this morning

 

we have got the backing of Chris Hoy (3 gold medals in the

cycling at Beijing), who has given us a quote, as well as Mark Cavendish's

shoes.

 

I am still awaiting confirmation of the details but will let you know as soon as I have them.
