There's Lots Of People In This One!

I couldn't believe it when I looked back at the date of my last blog -3 months ago! Where does the time go?

Representatives & Owners Of Local Organisations & Businesses

Following on from the rumour of a new shop opening on Belvedere Road, some of you will know only too well that +Gooch Accident have opened a drop in centre for anyone that's had an accident (large or small) and needs help with what to do next.  The centre called Waveney Motorclaims was officially launched by the Lowestoft Mayor at the time June Ford, she was joined at the celebrations by a selection of local business owners and organisation representatives along with owner Jason Harwood and my big brother.  A very special thanks goes to Ferini Media for taking professional photos on the day.

You might be wondering where my big brother has suddenly sprung up from.  Well, he's been a Gooch Bear in the making (by +Annabel Waters That's Pretty) since February, it took a lot of hard work and patience to get him up to the standards of the rest of the team at +Gooch Accident but finally the day came on Tuesday 27th May where he got to wear the honorary Gooch badge.  Since then, he's been helping me with my local visits as sometimes I'm too small to be taking seriously and other times he just simply doesn't fit..........through the door that is!

That's Pretty Link 

 Before big brother could wear his badge, he had to do a little fundraising, so he teamed up with Chan Patel from +The Pampered Chef and held a cooking show where believe it or not he helped raise just over £30 for The Samaritans.  So together with the first customer on the Gooch Charity Scheme for access community trust they'll be a couple of cheque presentations coming up.

It Didn't Take Long For Big Brother To Get Tangled Up With The Police!

Thankfully this isn't a picture of him being arrested, it's just before the Queens Baton came to Lowestoft.

 You could say he likes to get out and be amongst everything so we sent him off to a secret location to see how good he was at football, after all it was the World Cup!  A Facebook & Twitter competition followed and +Martin Hailes was the winner.

So what's happening next?
Preparations for the Gooch Bear Treasure Hunt & Teddy Bears Picnic organised by yours truly and +Wendy Takman from +bestoflowestoft are well underway and the support so far is truly amazing with the following companies already pledging their commitment: Ivy House Country Hotel Saxon Packaging Graphic Solutions & Harrods Heliums
