Design a Party Invite

William Nugent Year 4

Sam Nugent Year 6

Two very talented brothers, Williams entries show huge potential for him in the future as a graphic artist, with amazing attention to balance and colour.  Sam's designs are more functional but no less beautiful and demonstrated that he had thought through what was needed on an invitation - so perhaps a future Saatchi and Saatchi type collaboration here?  We will be loading the invitations onto our website for everybody to use later this week.

Well done and thank you to everybody that entered.

Steve is best known for being a keen member of Longridge Canoe Club.  However when paddling allows, Steve Backshall is also the naturalist who reaches parts of the world others just can’t reach. He’s travelled to over 100 countries around the world making first ascents of remote jungle mountains or descending into hidden sinkholes in search of new species, climbing the world’s highest peaks or completing some of the world’s most demanding endurance races. Steve has continued to push back the boundaries of exploration whilst capturing it all on camera or in words.

His BBC natural history series ‘Deadly 60’ is being shown around the world, and is about to enter its third series. Whilst making the series, he has danced with thresher, tiger, bull and white sharks, come into contact with rattlesnakes, king cobras, mambas and giant pythons, and discovered such oddities as ghost bats, mantis shrimps, alligator snapping turtles and Humboldt Squid. In 2009, the series was nominated for two BAFTAS; best children’s presenter and best children’s factual series.

We are delighted that Steve will opening this event and our amazing Training Centre and hope you will join us on Monday to make the day even more wonderful.
