Being a born and bred potter, pushing our business to support The Donna Louise Trust was an easy decision to make. But we've wanted to support other local (Swindon) projects for a while, and by chance (good luck?) one presented itself to us a few weeks back.

We received an email from Marcus, the website admin, from Ferndale Rodbourne Y.C. F.C. asking if we would like to sponsor the new kit for one of their teams.

We went through a shall we/shan't we phase bouncing emails around (as you do), but we met Marcus a few weeks back and at that point we knew immediately that this was a worthy cause. Marcus is giving up a lot of his own time to help the club, during the meeting, it was his determination that shone through.

So keep an eye on the Swindon Advertiser, you may just see the ugly mug of yours truly, standing proudly by the Under 7's B team; we'll be cheering them on from the sidelines at as many games as possible this coming season too. We'll be tweeting about the exploits too.

Gooooooooooooo team!!
