Time to learn another new skill - the art of persuading people to part with their money in aid of your chosen cause. We approached several companies, with varying results! TalkTalk have been a massive supporter - donating a huge £3000 to GWAA, providing us with branded tops, and most importantly providing a dongle to allow us to update our blog as our ride takes place, showcasing the end-to-end coverage of their recently-launched mobile broadband.
The Spire Bristol have been equally fantastic, also donating to GWAA, supplying us with the essential gel-padded shorts, donating top raffle prizes for our fundraiser, and helping us with publicity
Having knocked on many doors, and called in many favours, we also managed to get hold of some other great prizes for our fundraising party from Bristol Audi, The Marriott Royal Hotel, Bristol Guild, John Sheppard Catering Butchers, Howies, The Cowshed, Moti, The Treatment Rooms - and a big thank you to Andy Stephens at Bar Humbug for providing the venue!
