It is never easy asking people to part with their hard earned cash and therefore the Optimistic Fools are gratefully indebted to the following for their support and trust in our efforts to undetake this awesome challenge. We wouldnt be able to do this without you (Chris - you're so cheesy I'm going to be sick!) (Ollie- What can I say Im in touch with my feminine side) For those who wish to sponsor us we are selling space on Irene's fine looking bodywork, that can be used as either an advertising opportunity or simply a way to send us on our way with a message of some kind...... as you can see on the drawing below there are 8 main areas up for grabs at varrying prices, if you're interested just get in touch with either of us and we can give you the details.

Berocca crams a super dose of essential vitamins and minerals into one handy tablet. You know those energy drinks that give you the big caffeine and sugar hit that wears off half an hour later? Well that’s exactly what Berocca’s not.Drinking it won’t change your life, or transform you into that person with the disturbing white teeth on those posters. Berocca is really about giving you a hit of vitamins and minerals to help you have the best day possible. The sort of day when you catch that early train, make the lights, snatch the last parking space, get the phone number, nab the last one on sale or drive 10,000 miles to Mongolia. http://www.berocca.co.uk
 Wadworth 6X is a delightful copper-coloured beer with a malty, fruity nose and a restrained hop character. The beer is full bodied and distinctive but with a high drinkability, ensuring its position as one of the South of England's most requested beers.You can be sure that every pint of 6X is handmade in Devizes. In 2007 6X won the Daily Telegraph and Cask Marque Best Of British Beer Award for Wales and the West Country. http://www.wadworth.co.uk/ 
A very kind gentleman who managed to replace Irene's dead regulator, during her maiden voyage skippered by The Fools, and had to be pushed into accepting any kind of payment even for the materials. A man who knows his stuff! Cheers Chris.
