What's the latest with the media then Matt?

Any chance we can get some TV coverage on Thursday or Friday..... :)

Soup Dragon arranged for our team to have a story and photograph in the Heathrow Skyport newspaper.
This comes out every Friday and all being well should be in tomorrow's issue. :) If any of you have ever worked or been around the Heathrow area you may be familiar with Skyport?

I think that's the best. I've heard many people have recommended that place because of the friendly service and value.

I heard there was a place in Beaconsfield that was better value and worth the cab fares...

Yes, come! You're very welcome to join in the fun. What you need to do, right now, is to get a tube map and start planning a route. The first bit of the route you can find here: http://www.bath.ac.uk/~ma1jas/tuberecord.html . Team Needing Help is finishing at Heathrow Terminals 1,2,3 but you can finish wherever you please.
Go to http://www.tuberelief.co.uk for lots of hints and tips for planning a route.

Marco, many thanks for the sponsorship, we are heading towards our next target which is £600. I'm sure you can plan a decent route and certainly the links Starkey has advised will help.
Cheers SD :D
One day I shall return!
