Story

Updated on Nov 14th 2012 at 10:14 PM from the JustGiving API

Hi Everyone. On behalf of the KNOWHOW Customer Repair Centre, I would just like to thank everyone who has been so kind and generous to donate to our campaign for Children In Need. We have raised a grand total of £9,629 and we still have a few hours left too! This is a fantastic achievement by everyone involved so thank you to everyone who has helped! :)

TOUR DE KNOWHOW
The Customer Repair Centre Management Team are slipping into their sports gear to pedal their way around Knowhow!

The managers who are based in Newark, Nottinghamshire, will complete a relay style bike ride. Each manager will pedal furiously for a hour before handing over to the next manager! Sounds a little intense right? Well, unfortunately for our managers it needs to be as the route around Knowhow is 1,507 miles!

The managers have two exercise bikes, which have been kindly donated by Total Fitness, set up front and centre in front of our state of the art Repair Lab. We'll keep posting photo's for you to see how our managers are getting on!

By the way - if you hadn't guessed already, some of our managers are not exactly Bradley Wiggins in disguise!

Please dig deep and donate to Children in Need!

MANAGEMENT FORFEITS
If cycling crazy distances (and the shocking sports wear!) wasn't enough, the Customer Repair Centre management team have volunteered themselves for some interesting forfeits to raise some more cash for Children in Need.

So, to make sure one of our managers completes a forfeit, we need to raise cash for Children In Need. Below are the forfeit's and when these will take place:

Monday 12/11/2012 - Matt Palin, Operations Manager, gets his legs waxed and Damian Rodgers, Repair Centre Manager, sings Right Said Fred.
Tuesday 13/11/2012 - Team Manager's sings The Birdie Song and Paul Read, Head Of Central Operations, joins a Customer Repair Centre Team for the day.
Wednesday 14/11/2012 - Managers Man vs Food challenge and Matt Palin, Operations Manager, has an ice bath.
Thursday 15/11/2012 - Glen Holbrook, Operations Manager, runs a half marathon and Gunge/Dunk a Manager.

Show your spots - lets raise lots!

That's not all! The KNOWHOW Customer Repair Centre have already been busy raising cash for Children in Need.

We have held three different raffles, with all ticket sales going to Children in Need. The team have also held Halloween Fancy Dress days, a Spooky Cake sale, a dress down day, pumpkin carving and of course some good old fashioned bucket shaking!

Check out our gallery for some photos of the whole team getting involved to raise cash for Children in Need!
