We have been working with the Hamlet Centre for several months in recreating their logo and branding in a way which is sympathetic to what they already gives a fresh approach and allows them to portray all of the services they offer.

The new branding was revealed at their AGM last week.  The event was covered by the local press, click here to read the article.

Last week we entered the Mills & Reeve charity sports day to raise money for Big C.  There were 13 teams, most of whom had entered the event in previous years. It was a fun event and a successful fundraiser, bringing in over £1300 for the Big C which will help them continue with research and support.

Will, was asked to photograph the Nimmo Twins for their 2010 calendar in conjunction with Nelson's Journey. During the shoot they changed into their various characters and struck up some hilarious poses. The hardest part was holding back howls of laughter. Try and see them live if you can!

The Calendar will be available in coming months, more to follow...

We visited this years Royal Norfolk Show to check out the trailer and banners graphics that we designed for the Big C Cancer Charity. They were at the show to promote awareness of the charity and to raise money for all areas of support and care for cancer sufferers and their families.

The Big C's new graphics looked great and we were very pleased with the final result. For more information about Big C please visit www.thebigcappeal.co.uk

Nick and I attended the Business in the Community Awards Gala Dinner on Tuesday night. We were asked to enter the Mills & Reeve Pro Bono Company of the Year award, to celebrate our charity work.

Philip Jepson gave a speech at the dinner about Norfolk Venda, which was well received and will hopefully help to further enhance the charity's fund raising potential.

It was an enjoyable evening, made even more enjoyable by the fact we won the award for our charity work with 'The Norfolk Venda Educational Project' and 'The Big C'.

After weeks of training, finally our big day came on Saturday; the RWHA 5-A-side Cup held at Kensington Palace. Repping Norwich in the teamís away kit, we started out in a mini league with Owen Brown, Fortnum & Mason and Fairhurst Ward Abbotts.

Our first match was against Fortnum & Mason. It was a tough encounter to say the least but we overcame our nerves to win 1-0 with a tidy finish from Will Pointer. Next up was Owen Brown, a match we dominated but failed to score; the match finished 0-0. Our final game was FWA, a match we wanted to win to finish top of the league. This match was pretty even with both teams having a couple of good chances and Neil Bedford making some vital saves. FWA, however, slotted one home resulting in a loss and us having to go into a play-off against Fortnum & Mason for second place. In the play-off we played well but Fortnum & Mason broke through and scored. From then on we piled on the pressure and got one back through Matt Taylor with an emphatic finish. We continued to push for the winner but ran out of time.... penalties it was. All was even until I stepped up third and hit the post. Fortnum & Mason continued scoring and were a goal up with the final penalties to be taken. Will Pointer bravely stepped up and put the ball wide, putting Fortnum and Mason through into the Prince William Cup and us feeling upbeat about our chances in the Prince Henry knockout.

We were put up against Tiptree in the knockout for a place in the quarters. Tiptree being a team we really wanted to beat having received rallying phone calls prior to the competition. We stepped out feeling hydrated thanks to the copious amounts of Gatorade we had knocked back and took Tiptree apart with a dominant 2-0 win. Goals came from Paul Strowger who saw the goalkeeper off his line and hit a sweet first time effort, then another another followed from Matt Taylor. This put us through and up against Champagne Louis Roederer.

The quarter final was a tough encounter, both teams very much trying to pass it and carve out an opportunity. Champagne scored with an unstoppable long range effort and from then on we pinned them back; Al smashed a great goal home after a maizy run into the opposing half. The game was then marred by a contentious decision (not the officialís first), in which the referee gave Champagne a penalty for a so called back pass by myself to Neil in goal. Anyway, Champagne finished it and although we pushed to equalise, they went through and we went out.

Champagne Louis Roederer went on to win the Prince Henry and DHL (UK) Ltd ran out winner of the overall competition.

A great time was had by all and we will definitely be back next year having pumped some serious iron. We would like to thank Victoria from RWHA and John Shepard from Partridges for organising the event. Thanks also go to our fans who came and cheered us on, Britvic for the Gatorade and Sam at Norwich City for loaning us the kit, at least we looked pro!

We have just started working with a small charity called 'The Norfolk Venda Educational Project,' Farrows will be supporting this charity using our skills as a donation. Something that is especially nice about the charity is that small amounts of money make a big difference.


The Charity works towards helping to provide people of the Limpopo Provinces in South Africa with water, stationery, and schools. Providing these necessities allows the people to become self sufficient and vastly improves the quality of life. We hope to raise greater awareness for the charity to enable them to further their already impressive support for the Venda people.

If you wish to know more about The Norfolk Venda Educational Project, please contact Philip or Ceri through their website: www.norfolkvenda.org
