DesignVent the microsite has been in production for a while now, and was unofficially lauched (ie: i didn't tell anyone) about 3 months ago, after a crazy weekend where I may have inadvertantly networked myself into an extremely strong position, I thought i'd push the boat out and mention it, only here mind but nevertheless . . . . .

On
the 28th April '06 (Provisional Date) we are holding
a fund raising evening in Portsmouth. The night be
will be based around both a quiz and a good old race
night, for those who don't know what that is it is
like a night at the races, but instead of watching
actual horses or even races on tv screens as with
some race nights, at this one the audience are the
jockeys and horse owners (wooden horses attached
to wind in spindles).
SO PLACE YOUR BETS!!!!!
If you are interested then drop
me a mail and I will update you as soon as
everything is finalised |

As
you may have seen from the main site in a years
time to the day I will be finishing off a 400km
cycling trip across China for Mind. How is the
training going, none today, getting over a cold
that unusually took me off work for two days, so
my 100 mile minimum week of cycling has just been
dramatically dwindled. There is always tomorrow
