Grand designs(works)

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

It is all go here in the dw windsor office. Peter has a vision and we are making some  interior alterations to the building with which result in more space for all areas of the business. Along side this we will be introducing new working practises to aid the flow of projects from concept through to prototype. For those people that have been here previously and can remember the building the next time you visit you will experience a larger meeting area underneath the design studio!, it’s hard to imagine at the moment.

Please forgive the banging and crashing if you are on the phone to us, we are trying to limit building work within our office hours but it’s inevitable.

The reception and material storage area have already been knocked into one large open space as the photos show – we are all crammed in behind the black wall . Stay tuned for further developments!

Good riding over the Easter period.  Hilly climb up (great downhill though!) to Coldharbour with a 43 mile circuit.

Good training ride on Sunday. A fairly smooth 30 miles to get used to riding as a group.  Nice route setup by Phil on ‘bikely.com’ (http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Reigate-Rusper-Reigate).

Cheers,

London to Paris Bike Ride

nspcc

I’m all signed up and ready to roll (in need of some miles in the saddle though!)

Over the bank holiday weekend in May next year, myself and 30 other amateur riders will be cycling over 300km from Central London to the Eiffel Tower in Paris on behalf of Rugbytots in aid of the NSPCC

Every day, thousands of children and young people call ChildLine to talk about a problem they face. Hundreds of caring adults also call the NSPCC Helpline because they are worried about a child’s safety. The NSPCC’s Child’s Voice Appeal aims to transform ChildLine and the NSPCC Helpline to ensure they are there for all children. The hardest thing for an abused child is to speak out.

I have a target to hit but of course keen to exceed this as much as possible!  Please, dig deep and sponsor what you can, it is an extremely worthy cause.  Just £100 would help the NSPCC answer the calls of an extra 25 desperate children. Consider how much money we are trying to raise and what impact that will have on those young lives!

If you have already sponsored me, a big thanks and I will you keep you posted on our training and progress.

Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Cheers,
