This article from the Lancashire Telegraph 17th March shows schools are now realising that if badges are attached to Sweatshirts Polos' etc. by the parents, there would be a considerable saving to be made.
"Sew on" is one option but "Iron On" much easier.

Jacquard Weaving Sponsors Round Table raising money for The Association of Air Ambulance Charities (see article from Tabler Magazine).

John O'Groats to Land's End Tuc Tuc Run
This unique adventure will be a novel and fun way of promoting the Associations of Air Ambulance charities and all other organisations involved. Also the intention is to support the longstanding Round Table Charities of the Anthony Nolan Trust and Round Table Children's Wish, a high public profile is guaranteed.

We will be making pit stops at various Air Ambulance stations throughout the UK which will inevitably generate a great variety of local PR both for Air Ambulance and our local Round Table clubs.

There are only 3 wheels on my wagon and I am going the wrong way down the UK. The Tuc Tuc has a top speed of 33 mph and I believe I will be able to average 20mph on the event.

                  

I am not doing a straight bottom to top run, but doing it the wrong way around Scotland to Cornwall. But with this twist I will be stopping at as many Air Ambulance base as I can, so change a mere 900 mile run to a 1700mile event.

I am planning on taking 14 days, thats 6 hours driving each day. Read my blog here and follow my progress live on the map here 

We have negotiated a special charity discount and from Green Conversions the importer of the Tuc Tuc. Our Tuc Tuc can carry up to 2 passengers!

Green Conversions Ltd have allowed us to used their trailer to transport the Tuc Tuc around country during trip and for promotions. They have also lent me their spare Tuc Tuc for promotional events. They will also provide me with all the spare that a may required for such a trip. Eg tyres etc.

At the end of the Round Table year we intend to give the Tuc Tuc to Air Ambulance Charities or sell and any money raised from this sale as well as any sponsorship that is raised from the event will be split between the 17 Air Ambulance Charities.

In event of any large donation been made. Will ask the donator were they would like the money to go. i.e. their local or regional air ambulance. Or equal shared to all air ambulance charities covered by AAAC.
