Last night...

Thank you to everyone who made it to our talk last night with Wilfrid Wood. We had a fantastic evening, with special thanks to Seven for being great hosts. Also a big thank you to Gavin Martin and GF Smith for the lovely posters and obviously to Wilfrid for his inspirational and (literally) eye-opening talk!

We raised over £450 for Wilfrid's chosen charity, St. Joseph's Hospice. So thanks again to everyone who contributed!

Last night: Seb Lester!

We had a fantastic evening at the Museum of Brands, hosted by PI Global. Fuelled with our Brooklyn lager (thank you Brooklyn Brewery!), guests had a chance to wander around the museum before taking a seat for the main event. Seb's talk was wonderfully inspiring, showing us how calligraphy should be done! 

Seb designed a beautiful "S" to be given out on the night. It was masterfully printed by A New Star in the Sky on white plike, supplied by GF Smith.

A huge thank you to everyone involved. St Peter and St James Hospice and Care Centre will be receiving a generous donation for the tickets sales. Thank you to everyone who came!

Last Night: Emily Forgot

Thank you to everyone who made it to Emily's talk last night. We had a great evening with a really inspiring talk from Emily.

Lots of people to mention! Thank you to Purpose for making the venue so welcoming and rising to the Playdesk Challenge. Thank you to our lovely beer sponsor, Brooklyn, for supplying the very strong Pale Ale (hic!) and to GF Smith for supplying the paper for Emily's print. And thank you Gary at A New Star in the Sky for the gorgeous prints (as always). Finally, a huge thank you to Emily for doing a very refreshing and inspirational talk, as well as helping raise over £500 for Save the Children







The Playdesk Challenge: Purpose were given 30 minutes
to customise our logo...

... and Emily selected her favourite...
... which belonged to Paul! Don't they look chuffed!

Thank you everyone!

Thank you to everyone who came to Adrian Johnson's talk! We had a fantastic night and raised over £600 for Adrian's chosen charity, The Anthony Nolan Trust.

A huge thank you to Adrian for his talk and for designing the gorgeous print just for us! Also to Gary at A New Star in the Sky for printing the posters and GF Smith for supplying the paper. If you missed the talk, you can still get hold of an exclusive print here (or follow the link on the right hand side) with all the proceeds going to charity (minus the postage!). Massive thank you to Identica for hosting the talk and letting us all into their amazing studio space. Finally, and arguably most importantly, a huge thank you to Brooklyn Brewery for providing lots of lovely bottles for the talk.... we had lots of happy guests!
