IWOOT's Children In Need Hat Competition Winner

Friday, November 20th, 2009

After a day of mildly ridiculous headwear being bandied around the office, a consensus has been reached. It was decided that, due to sheer effort, interactivity, topicality and ingenuity that Cathy from Customer Services would be a worthy winner – one look at her Jedward-themed hat will surely convince even the most stony-hearted of cynics. The joy of it, people, the joy!

DebbieWoot is markedly more traditional

JennaWoot just misunderstands.

IWOOT FC In Nail-Biting Charity Belter

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Last night, the cream of IWOOT’s athletic contingent (the least unhealthy, in other words) took on the formidable might of Thumbs Up, one of our lovely suppliers in a charity football match for Children In Need. It goes without saying that it was a sporting encounter comparable with the big leagues, and a jolly old time was had by all at the Norbury Powerleague Centre.

The most important thing to note is that we won, 11-10, after being 4-1 and 7-2 down at certain points, so it really was a valiant effort from our own little Carlos Valderramas.

Here’s a convenient list of match facts:

IWOOT’s team was made up of Ben (scored 4), Sergio, Simon, Neil (scored 3), Neil and Paul (also scored 3), with lady support from Melissa,Â Wanessa and Jo.
One of our goals was an own goal from Thumbs Up. Whoopsie!
Simon grazed his knee quite badly (see below).
Ben was awarded a shiny medal for being Man Of The Match.
Sergio moaned before, during and after the game, and also brought a dressing gown with him for the shower.
Post-match, everyone went for a slap-up Mexican meal courtesy of Thumbs Up – big thanks to them for being such great sports and giving us such a good game!
