REWARDS ON OFFER FOR CORPORATE CUP RUNNERS
THE race is on
to find local company employees who are prepared to run in this
year’s Liverpool Corporate Cup 5K challenge and raise sponsorship
for the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign, a charity which continues to
search for a cure for muscle disease. As part of its 2007 ‘Big
Push’ appeal, the Regional Office of the charity is asking teams
to enter the event and to get sponsored for running or to contact
them for sponsorship forms if they have already entered. In return,
everyone who raises funds can claim some great sportswear rewards
for each member of the team.
Says Charles Horton, Muscular Dystrophy Campaign Regional
Fundraising Manager:- “We need as many teams as possible to
enter the Liverpool Corporate Cup 5K challenge race and raise
sponsorship if we are going to beat this disease. It’s a great way
to help others and help yourself to keep fit. Why not join our Big
Push to give people with muscular dystrophy a chance in the future”.
The Liverpool Corporate Cup 5K challenge race/walk takes place on
Wednesday 5 September 2007, starting at 7pm in Croxteth Park. Teams
consist of 4 people employed by the same company, which must contain
at least 1 female. In addition, families and friends who do not work
for a company, but would like to take part, can enter a team into
the Charity Shield division of the race. To enter the event to raise
funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign, contact their Regional
Office by sending an
email to them.

DOES LIVERPOOL HAVE THE WORST KITCHEN IN THE UK?
BACK in
January, Magnet issued a survey revealing the truth behind DIY. The
results showed that 1 in 4 of us simply didn’t have a clue when it
came to DIY and 1 in 5 Brits harboured a DIY disaster in their home.
In response to the research, the kitchen experts at Magnet launched
a nationwide search to find the British kitchen most in need of a
makeover. Magnet’s ‘Kitchen SOS’ aimed to find the most
botched DIY kitchen in the UK and believe they may have just that in
Liverpool.
After thousands of entries and a public vote, the list of
destruction has been whittled down to just ten suspects and a local
resident from Liverpool, is in the running to be named ‘Britain’s
Worst Kitchen’. Alison Moody, from Formby just out
side Liverpool,
stunned the judges and leaped straight into the top 10 after
submitting images of her DIY kitchen crime scene. The kitchen, which
pleads for Kitchen SOS help, comes complete with blood, sweat and
tears and features a distinct lack of flair for design!
Alison, comments:- “It started out as such a small dream but
things quickly deteriorated from there on. I soon found myself
living and cooking in a war zone, it really is an absolute
nightmare. And then of course, I was told about Magnet’s Kitchen SOS
competition to which I knew this was the one for me. I’ve never won
anything in my life but it looks as though my luck’s about to
change!”
If successfully selected as the overall winner, Alison can expect to
receive a brand new £10K kitchen, but this time fully fitted and
installed by the kitchen expert, Magnet. Five runners-up will also
receive a flipdown TV worth £473.90 – at least drawing their
attention away from the kitchen itself. Alison’s kitchen and
the other 9 contestant’s nightmares are available for the world to
view and you can see every mistake, accident, disaster and mishap at
