The so-called birdman of Cheltenham finished last in both the 70m and 90m skijumps at Calgary – his best effort of 73.5m was more than 50m behind the double gold winning Finn, Matt Nyaken. But instead of slinking home in disgrace and resuming his career as a plasterer, he arrived at Heathrow Airport to find a crowd of 10,000 fans, a 25-strong police escort and a whole new life of private jets, personal appearances, £10,000-an-hour fees and a Top 50 single, Fly Eddie Fly.


Eddie was a huge media celebrity – he appeared on Wogan, on the Johnny Carson show and even Ronald Reagan, then US president, held up a White House briefing to catch him on TV. His story is even the subject of a Hollywood Film.


This is an unmissable opportunity to hear a truly unique and compelling story from the legend that is Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards.
Suffolk SportsAid Foundation



The sole purpose of the Suffolk SportsAid Foundation is to raise money to help the next generation of Suffolk’s sporting talent to succeed. It is a joint initiative between SportsAid, the national charity for sports people, Suffolk Sport and ‘Rising to the Challenge Suffolk’ the campaign to maximise the benefits for Suffolk from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.


SportsAid is the only UK charity directly helping talented British sportsmen and women. Their research identifies that on average each athlete spends nearly £5,000 per year on equipment, training, travelling and all the other essentials that are required for competing at the top level. More often than not their only sponsors are Mum and Dad, so every bit of independent recognition and financial help that the young athlete gets at this stage makes a world of difference.


Since the Suffolk SportsAid Foundation was launched in 2007 it has awarded over 60 grants to talented sportsmen and women from across Suffolk, all of whom are competing at either national or international level.

Your Logo - Only One Part of Your Brand

Your Logo alone should not be the finishing point of your brand identity. Your brand is more than simply the logo, it is the personality that identifies your company or product and should encompass the beliefs and attitudes of that business. Thinking further about your brand identity, is it something that needs to be reviewed every couple of years or longer? Is the message you created when you set up the company, still relevant today? Or, in more simple terms, do all your marketing materials look like they have come from the same company?


Your Logo therefore, is only one part of your brand: careful brand managemant employs many visual clues to carry a consistent message to your target audience. A single graphic that acts as the link to your clients, can be joined with other strong design themes, and this will help your brand be recognised as coming from the same source.
