Roll Up, Roll Up!

August 1st, 2011 · Annie · No Comments

In recent weeks the circus has been in town (or at least L’eree aerodome). Having not attended Circus Starlight since I was a small child, I was unsure what to expect from the evening, but thought I would go along regardless. I was not disappointed. One particularly impressive act was the contortionist and trapeze artist which had been brought over from the UK. I was left wincing in my seat throughout the act! Read more

Our Paul storms the Itex Walk in practise for 10 Peaks Challenge

June 7th, 2011 · Chris · No Comments

BW’s Paul Smith ran this year’s Itex ‘Round Guernsey’ Walk as a training prelude to his own event that takes place in July, The 10 Peaks Challenge.

Paul won Saturday’s 40 mile Itex Walk in a time of 6hrs 55mins – 20 minutes quicker than his own winning time from last year!

‘The Itex Walk isn’t a race, as such, but a great challenge’, explained Paul. ‘But with my 10 Peaks Challenge coming up in just under a month’s time, I wanted to use this as a good training exercise. Huge thanks to all the marshals and event organisers who continue to do a fantastic job.’

The 10 Peaks Challenge is a non-stop hike/run over the 10 highest peaks in The Lake District, and takes place on the weekend of 2nd July.

Well done, Paul!

Floating island football in Thailand

Thailand isn’t that well known for football but this advert from TMB (the Thai Military Bank) sets the record straight I think.

A nice story of overcoming adversity and lateral thinking.

Guernsey’s Donkey Parade Takes Shape

March 28th, 2011 · Chris · No Comments

The countdown has started to an exciting new fund raising initiative that echoes other similar famous Parades from around the world, and which is now coming to Guernsey. However, rather than Elephants, Pigs or Cows, Guernsey’s Parade will feature the rather more appropriate Donkey as its figure head.

The event is the brainchild of Trevor Wakefield, Principal at Guernsey’s College of Further Education, and will raise valuable funds for GALP (the Guernsey Adult Literary Project). More information will be available soon on guernseydonkeys.com, which is currently being designed and built by Betley Whitehorne (who are also sponsoring one of the donkeys).

An important first step has been made, however, with the creation of an event logo, designed and supplied by students at The College of Further Education. More details to follow.

11 The Beautiful Game

March 15th, 2011 · Ric · 1 Comment

We like Foosball at Betley Whitehorne and we’ve a very nice table, but it’s not at sexy as this one: 11 — the beautiful game. Each hand made table takes 12 weeks to build by a team of crack Dutch designers at Gro Design.  Total Foosball anyone?

Scaling the heights and plumbing the depths of fear

Vertigo can be a debilitating affliction but for this video I think it heads into the realm of extreme acrophobia, I certainly felt uncomfortable watching it but for the workmen and many like them this is a daily occurrence. This is their office. Read more
