Sat 28th Jan. ASDA, Southampton. 10.00 am to 3.00pm. Local fitness centre, Studio Red, is holding a ‘spinathon’ this Saturday 28th January to raise funds for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance. Studio Red is the largest studio cycling (Spin) and RPM Group Studio on the South Coast and opened late last year. They aim to entice members of the public to take part by spinning, or riding static cycles, and raising money for the Air Ambulance.
Sunday 22nd January at Southampton Sports Centre saw the first event of the 2012 season for the Lordshill Road Runners Running Club from Southampton.
Just prior to the 5km run the club made a further generous donation to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance. This comes on top of an earlier donation in May of 2011 and follows an incident in the New Forest in early 2011 when we were able to offer assistance to one of the club members.
A huge thank you to all the members of the Lordshill Road Runners Running Club for the very generous donation.

It’s Bag-A-Bra Season, and it’s already got off to a great start as we’ve just received a bag of bras sent from Australia! Many thanks to the Lutheran Community Church in Canberra, your ‘support’ is greatly appreciated.
16 bras have also been donated by our Charity Manager, Sherie, so everyone else in the office will now have to turn out their drawers!
Pampered Passions in the USA are also collecting bras for us.
If you would like a pink bra collecting bag sent out to you, so that you can ask family and friends to donate their unwanted bras, then please contact the office on 02380 333377 or email me at june@hiow-airambulance.org.uk. Thank you.
As this is our 5th Birthday Year, why not ask five friends to donate five bras each? Or if you work for a company, why not see if you can fill five bags? Your ‘support’ as always, is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Each year, Douglas Stafford’s employees choose a local charity they wish to support for the year. In 2012 they nominated Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance.
“We are very happy to support Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance,” says Douglas Stafford’s CEO Nigel Cook, “a very worthwhile charity which provides an efficient and prompt response to road traffic collisions, sporting accidents and many other incidents for people in Hampshire and on the island.
Our team raises money throughout the year thanks to sponsorship and participation to team events such as the annual dragon boat race here at Lakeside, or by organising raffles. We also have monthly ‘dress down’ days, when everyone wishing to leave their business attire behind for the day will contribute. Everyone at Douglas Stafford wishes to help HIOWAA make this anniversary year a great fundraising success,” concludes Nigel.
