Introducing MoBro Nick Bishop.......
9th November 2012
Men’s health is a cause Nick Bishop here at PGT is passionate about, but in order to make a difference he needs your help. His commitment (as part of the team ‘The Five Rotary Clubs of Gloucester’) is to grow a moustache for the month of November and in doing so, raise vital awareness and funds for mens health including prostate and testicular cancer.
Please support Nick and this great cause by making a donation. The size of which isn’t important, every little contribution helps Movember to continue its funding of world class programmes. To highlight the importance of what Nick is doing, take a look at these statistics:
• 1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime • This year 40,000 new cases of the disease will be diagnosed in the UK
• 47% of testicular cancer cases occur in men under 35 years and over 90% occur in men under 55 years
If you’d like to help change these statistics, please donate to Nick by:
• Donating online at: mobro.co/njbishop
You will also get to see his progress and how silly he looks! Many thanks.
Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo.......

THE OLYMPICS COMES TO GLOUCESTER…
25th May 2012
Gloucester came to a standstill when the Olympic torch passed through on the latest leg of its journey on Thursday 24th May. A very proud moment! Despite the early start, thousands of people lined the streets to cheer on the torchbearers in their moments of glory. The torch relay lasts 70 days and will see 8,000 torchbearers running 8,000 miles around the UK, reaching it’s climax on July 27th at the opening ceremony, to mark the start of the 2012 Olympic games.
LISA GOT TO HOLD IT!
It was an exciting time for both Lisa and Rachel from our tax department as they managed to get their hands on one of the Olympic torches. The torchbearer had just been dropped off ready for the change over when he was pounced upon by Lisa, desperate to get her hands on his torch, “Quote”
