New at the 2009 Show will be the live garden and allotment where the experts will show you what to do, and they’ll show you how to do it too!
We hope to see you there…

To coincide with the launch of the Save Our Sofas (S.O.S) campaign. Plumbs have sponsored the “Ugliest Sofa in the UK 2009″ competition. All sofas are submitted and voted on by the public, the winning or ugliest sofa will then be re-upholstered for free by Plumbs.
Both the campaign and competition aim to highlight the growing need to consider the environment before throwing household items away, which usually go to landfill. S.O.S tries to educate people about the alternatives of Re-using, Refurbishing or Recycling sofas and other soft furnishings.
Why not help promote the campaign and competition by entering your sofa! You never know, you may get it re-upholstered for free.
Google luck!

Whose aim it is to complete the Coast to Coast bike ride over 3 days, and to raise £7500 for the Rosemere Cancer Foundation. Sadly our work colleague and friend Carol Livesey passed away this year and this inspired Rob Page to organise this fund raising event.
The ride is going to take place over the 29th, 30th April and the 1st May 2009.
Please contribute to our fund raising efforts, and follow our progress on this Blog from training through to the thigh burning ride.
