If Success Is Measured On Looking Good - Meet The New World Champions


Following on from Upper 10's successful sponsorship of the University of York Polo Team, we are very proud to have won the contract to become the lead sponsor of the Old Amplefordian Football Club. The team are currently operating on a semi - professional basis, but are hoping to secure promotion and full time contracts.
Whilst the team's winning streak has yet to start, they have already secured a number of FIFA approved individual awards. The include 'Gallic Attitude Of The Year', 'Best Nose for Goal', 'Tightest Merkin', 'Least likely to be invited to George Clooney's Martini Party', 'Roundest Head', and the team were delighted with a guest appearence from the 'Receeder of The Year'.
Thanks must also go to The PRA (Professional Referees Association) for supplying P Kennedy.
Upper 10 is proud to be associated with such a fine Club, under the guidance of Louis 'Don't tell me weightlifting and associated drug abuse can become addictive' Robertson.
Peace,
Sluge

Chrimbo!!!!!



MERRY CHRISTMAS ONE AND ALL!!

December is already marching on, and Dom and I have landed back at Upper 10 Towers for December. Many Thanks to Mum who looked after H.Q brilliantly while we were hammering the highways.

No rest for the wicked though, Retail doesn't stop (particularly at Christmas) and we are busy trying to get the diary filled up with shirt appointments for January. So those of you who need a new look for 2007 get booking!

The Slug is laying the trail in Middlesborough, Catterick and Goathland today so the mileometer isn't getting a rest. remember he's a very amenable Slug and can drop by your house or office with his tape and swatch book any time!

My Show season came to an end with 4 days in Kensington Town Hall. On leaving Yorkshire for my final sortie, i packed my bags and passport, leaving verdant, friendly Yorkshire for the concrete jungle and mean streets of the smoke. First stop Clapham, where i have a media- mogul friend who lives with another guy who works in London's equivalent of C.T.U (see jack Bauer 24). They are a lovely couple and live in a nice little studio in Clapham. The media mogul also happens to be a walking A-Z so he guided me into London flawlessly and accompanied me expertly at the events, lending his artistic eye to merchandising the stall. He had been able to put a couple of projects "on ice" to lend his support which was most welcome!

I was also able to meet up with Messrs Sparke and Marken as well as their lovely ladies- so in all it was an excellent and enjoyable trip socially as well as for greasing the wheels of Upper 10's Show based Industry.

I would like to thank all of the above for making my stay so enjoyable with the exception of Christopher Marken- for obvious reasons that it is not appropriate to go into now. Speaking of which, i heard the most hilarious tale of the year in the pub- for more details ask CJ Sparke.
