Nepal Everest Base Camp 2017

Walsall Academy – Nepal Everest Base Camp 2017

GM Design Solutions, A close friend of ours, contacted us regarding his youngest son who is off to Nepal for a 3 week expedition to Everest Base Camp. He was seeking sponsorship to help raise £4500 to cover the cost of the trip and some of his equipment. Organised by Walsall Academy, the trip aims to gain new experiences and challenges they have to tackle and overcome. A journey like this, for most of us, is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so naturally, we were happy to help.

Everest Expedition 2017

Setup and operated by Outlook Expeditions,they will guide the team up to the Everest Base Camp, a mere 5,300m up! Over the 21 day expedition, not only will they see some breath-taking views, they will also visit local towns and take part in projects to help give something back to the community. Encouraging them to embrace new cultures, meet new people as well as gaining a huge sense of achievement.

Birthplace of Buddha and home of Everest, the tiny kingdom of Nepal is the greatest adventure paradise of all! Discover the charms of Kathmandu, experience kindly tea-houses, meditate in magnificent monasteries, trek in the shadows of the world’s highest mountains, barter in bazaars and wear out your boots on dusty, yak-trodden trails! Hike into the wilds of the Himalaya, stopping occasionally to catch your breath and soak up the ancient culture whilst gazing up at the white peaks piercing into the deep blue skies…Outlook Expeditions

A Special Mention…

As you know, a few months back we backed and supported a Crowdfunded campaign called “Light up Wednesfield“. This was lead by a community group called Hands On Wednesfield who wanted to make a change to the Christmas lights down Wednesfield high street. Aiming to raise £4000 to make this happen, they turned to the local community to help support this cause and had a terrific response, raising over a thousand pound more than their target.

Therefore, this year’s Wednesfield Christmas light switch event is going to be bigger and better than ever before. Starting at 2pm on Thursday 24th November, you can expect to see acts such as a Flash Mob dance act from Flexus Dance Collective, Fire Breathing, Christmas carols, Rides, Charity Markets and the Rotary Clubs legendary Santa on his sleigh. The main lights switch on is happening at 5pm with Signal 107 and the Mayor Of Wolverhampton.

For more information and for a full running order of the events happening on the 24th of November, click here www.wv11.co.uk. There is also a Facebook event page which you can join here.

We also would like to say a big thank you to James from wv11.co.uk for a special mention of Varlowe in a radio interview with Signal 107. Also a massive thank you to Simon at Wednesfield magazine for the brilliant advertisements in the Wednesfield magazine and the Wednesfield Christmas Lights Switch on 2016 brochure, which will be given out on the night. You can listen to the whole interview below.

See you there :-)

Cycle Speedway Rider Sponsorship

Last month, we was contacted by a young Cycle Speedway Rider by the name of Haydn Rowley. He was in pursuit of a local sponsor to help fund new equipment which will help in the World Championships, so we stepped up. We have been recognised for this in the local news, in the form of Wednesfield Magazine, here is what they wrote:

Wednesfield based Varlowe Industrial Services have stepped forward to help Wednesfield Aces Cycle Speedway rider, Haydn Rowley.

With the World Championships in the UK and the main event held in Ashmore Park, Haydn wanted to boost his chances of a further title but needed new equipment. Using his initiative Haydn decided to contact local businesses and Steve Varden was quick to offer his support.

Managing Director, Steve Varden agreed to supply Haydn with a complete bike supplied by Archie Wilkinson with spare wheels and tyres. Steve has extended his generosity sponsoring the club with an advertising banner. Steve also has the Varlowe branding on his bike produced by Manifestation Designs in Willenhall who also sponsored the Aces with an advertising banner.

The Express and Star also wrote an artical about Haydn here http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/2015/08/05/haydn-targets-world-final-after-sinking-aussies/
