“I Predict a Riot” as Vale Press help PDSA save pets and change lives!

PDSA are one of the great national charities with a motto of “Saving Pets – Changing Lives”.

They see over 470,000 pets each year. To learn more about their great work please visit www.pdsa.org.uk

Vale Press are proud to have PDSA as one of our customers and we’re really pleased to have sponsored the printing of the Official Souvenir Programme for the PDSA PETLIFE  Festival 2018 being held today at Cheltenham Racecourse in Gloucestershire – just a few miles down the road – or even the GWSR railway – from our Vale Press factory in Willersey.

This evenings Main Stage acts – under the gorgeous Gloucestershire sun – include: Jessie J  (“Price Tag”); The Vamps (“Can We Dance”) and the Kaiser Chiefs (“I Predict a Riot”). More details at www.petlife.org.uk 

Many of the Vale Press team have pets at home and, occasionally, some come in to the office for a visit or just to say hello. To us they’re just “fellow travellers’!

Sporting Dinner with sporting legends supporting Alzheimers Research.

Vale Press were pleased to sponsor the Business Sporting Club Dinner in Stratford-upon-Avon last night where the guest speaker was Sir Ian McGeeghan OBE (nickname “Geech”)  – probably the greatest Rugby Union coach of all time. Head Coach of the British & Irish Lions for the tours of 1989, 1993, 1997 and 2009.

The raffle at the Dinner was in aid of Alzheimer’s – an incredibly worthwhile charity – and one which needs no introduction, as it affects the lives of so many.

It was a privilege to sit with Sir Ian and, rugby legend from the seventies, David Duckham MBE.

I asked them both who would be their first player of choice on a “Fantasy XV” team sheet.

Both gave me the same answer – Gareth Edwards.

Here’s a reminder why – a match in which David Duckham played.

Thanks again to those who bought raffle tickets and donated prizes and in particular to Jean & David Duckham who organised the dinner.

Broadway is only a mile or so from our Willersey factory and we’re proud to have many clients amongst it’s residents and business base.

In particular we’re pleased to print for many of the high-quality art galleries on Broadway’s High Street, including world class galleries such as John Noott and Haynes Fine Art.

Vale Press have just completed printing the 2018 Programme for the biennial Broadway Arts Festival taking place this year between 8th and 17th June with well over 50 events listed.

Whilst the festival has its roots in the village of Broadway, it’s fast earning an enviable national reputation.

A bit like Vale Press!

Vale present Shakespeare Hospice with big blank cheque!

When Vale Press handed over our “big cheque” for £1780 to The Shakespeare Hospice (see blog of 15th December) to help support their fantastic work, they asked if we could produce a “blank cheque” for them to use for their own publicity photos when they receive a donation.

We were only too pleased to help!

Here is Adriana Geary of Shakespeare Hospice with the re-usable big blank cheque. We hope the cheque is used many times and the bigger the numbers – the better!
