INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF CRICKET UMPIRING & SCORING (IICUS)
The International Institute of Cricket Umpiring & Scoring (IICUS) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the International Community Cricket Trust (ICCT) - UK-registered charity No.1119716 - under the chairmanship of Keith Pont, the former Director of Recreational Cricket Development at the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB). IICUS is unique: a 'world-first'! It is the only independent institute in the world able to offer professionally-delivered education and development courses leading to the award of the following Edexcel*-approved, internationally-recognised, cricket qualifications • BTEC (Level 2) Certificate in Cricket Umpiring • BTEC Advanced Diploma in Cricket Umpiring • BTEC (Level 3) Professional Award for Delivering Vocational Cricket Umpiring and Scoring Qualifications (this latter teaches, qualifies and empowers local indigenous tutors to subsequently deliver the BTEC (Level 2) Certificate courses themselves in their own countries). Full details of these courses can be found on: www.umpires.tv. (* Edexcel Limited is part of the Pearson Group and, with offices in over a hundred countries, is the largest recognised - and one of the most respected - international qualifications awarding bodies in the world). IICUS has established Edexcel-approved main hub and 'satellite' Umpire Education Centres throughout the UK, but the increased demands throughout Australasia and the Asia Pacific/ASEAN region for its courses has necessitated the creation of an Edexcel-accredited Umpire Education Centre at not only the Sydney Cricket Ground in New South Wales (with 'satellite' centres in each of the other states), but also similar main hub centres in each of the Asia-Pacific countries in the region - specifically in Malaysia, Nepal, Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka (also, now, in Dubai). Because of the limited training period 'windows' in each of the different countries and the immediate need to deliver the increasing numbers of courses and qualified tutors required at (only) these Edexcel-accredited centres, the Institute is seeking to engage urgently with empathetic corporate stakeholder sponsors and commercial joint venture/affinity marketing/CSR partners who see the value of taking their brands directly to the 6,000,000+ participants (and their families) in international community cricket. Being also charity-owned, IICUS has a range of significant optional reciprocal quid pro quos and 'ROIs' to offer seriously-interested potential course sponsors and centre partners. More information about the Institute and its activities is available on request. Contact: Naval Heeramaneck, FCA, Director of Fundraising & Partnerships. Address: 8th Floor, Tolworth House, Ewell Road, Surbiton, Surrey, England KT6 7EL. Tel.: +44 (0)20 8390 3100. Mobile: +44 (0)7768 026458. E-mail: info@umpires.tv.

ODYSSEY XX1
On the 1st November 1998, at Punta Arenas in Chile, former British paratrooper Karl Bushby took the first steps on a 36,000 mile long path that will lead him home. Unassisted by any form of transport, Karl was attempting what the world told him could not be done. He began a journey that will be the longest ever continuous journey on foot, doubling any existing records. Karl believed it was possible to journey by foot from the southern most point of South America back to England and leave behind him an unbroken trail of footsteps. This incredible journey began unsupported and unfunded, simply operating on unshakeable will, faith and endurance. The story unfolds over four continents, frozen seas, deserts and mountain ranges, from the jungles to the Arctic, in an estimated fourteen year adventure like no other. Karl has completed over nine years of this marathon, covering 17,000 miles. In 2000, he crossed the guerrilla-held jungles and swamps of the Darien Gap between Colombia and Panama - a feat even the local people considered impossible for a westerner. In 2006, he created a record by crossing from Alaska to Russia by walking/swimming the semi-frozen Bering Straits. His path now lies through Asia, across Europe and back into the UK using the service tunnel of the Channel Tunnel. He will not return home until he has walked back to the UK: as such, this is a continues endeavour. Currently the Odyssey is not sponsored. For a number of years the endeavour has been without a financial sponsor or partner, resulting in difficult logistical challenges in far north east Russia, where the politics, extreme environment and remoteness have left the Odyssey in a tight spot. The Odyssey needs a partner to see this one-of-a-kind adventure push beyond the Arctic Circle, south into Asia and for the big push for home. Contact: Karl Bushby. Address: 51 St Martin Street, Hereford, Herefordshire HR2 7RD. Tel.: 01144 1432 350776. E-mail: lostkcb@yahoo.co.uk
