| SCH/PL001 |  CALEDONIAN CHALLENGE: SCOTTISH COMMUNITY FOUNDATION The Caledonian Challenge is Scotland's premier outdoor team ultra-challenge event. The challenge is for teams of four people to complete fifty-four miles within 24 hours, whilst raising funds for the Scottish Community Foundation to help strengthen local communities. The epic journey will take participants through some of the UK's most remote, rugged and stunningly beautiful landscapes. In just one day, participants will experience majestic views of Ben Nevis - the UK's highest mountain, the splendour of Glen Coe, the wilds of Rannoch Moor and the scenic Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park. The Caledonian Challenge was founded in 1996. Since then, more than 12,000 people have successfully taken part and raised over £8 million to support the work of the Scottish Community Foundation. The organisers will work closely with sponsors to leverage their sponsorship of the Caledonian Challenge. They can also offer a range of benefits for the sponsor's association with the event, including • 1,000,000-3,000,000 OTS for the sponsor alone - for title sponsors, the event generated 16,000,000 OTS alone in 2008 • sponsorship worth up to £60,000 in AVE from PR campaign • access to a customer base worth up to £450,000 in potential sales • brand exposure to over 1,000,000 website visitors per year • brand exposure to over 200 high ranking companies who are entering participants into the Caledonian Challenge • brand exposure to over 25,000 sponsors who donate funds to the participants in the Caledonian Challenge • branded acknowledgement in The Scotsman supplement going out to 55,000 people • demonstration of the sponsoring company's corporate social responsibility by supporting local community life • opportunities to product sample with over 2,000 people on the Caledonian Challenge • promotion to over 2,000 people with a demonstrable interest in outdoor sports and activities. This list is by no means exhaustive and the organisers can tailor a sponsorship package to suit the sponsor's needs and requirements, resulting in benefits that will postitively impact on the sponsoring company's brand image and equity.

| SCH/PL002 | DUNCAN SMALL - CLIPPER YACHT CHALLENGE Duncan Small has been selected to participate in the 2011-2012 Clipper Round the World Yacht Race. In order to take part in this unique challenge, he is looking for a sponsor to cover his race costs. The Clipper Challenge involves ten identical stripped out 68 foot racing yachts, crewed by amateur yachtsmen and women under the guidance of a professional skipper. The race covers approximately 39,000 miles around the world, over fifteeen legs, and visits thirteen countries. It is a truly global event that generates massive interest wherever the yachts visit. To take part, Duncan is looking for a sponsor (or sponsors) to cover his race costs. "So what can I offer in return? Participation in this event requires mental and physical toughness and, above all, a desire to succeed. On my return, I will be able to pass on my experiences to others and to demonstrate that anyone can achieve what they want, whether that be in play or in the work place. In addition, in the build up to the race, during the race and after the race, I can provide regular updates on progress that can feed into any corporate marketing programme. Finally, wherever possible and subject to any restrictions placed on me by the race organisers, I would be more than happy to host any corporate guests, whether they be from the sponsoring company or their clients - whenever and in which ever ports of call the fleet makes. This event is unique and is global. It brings together individuals from all over the world and provides the opportunity to make new contacts on an international scale. I am more than happy to discuss further in detail. For further details on the event, please log into the Clipper website at www.clipperroundtheworld.com/". Contact: Duncan Small.

| SCH/PL003 |  GEOFF HOLT ATLANTIC CHALLENGE The opportunity exists to sponsor record breaking disabled yachtsman Geoff Holt to become the first disabled yachtsman to sail the Atlantic Ocean single-handed. Geoff Holt has already acquired the specialist yacht, the only 60 foot wheelchair-accessible yacht in the world. Sponsorship funds are needed just to cover administrative costs. In return the yacht has two sixty foot white hulls and several thousand square metres of sail, just crying out for a sponsor's logo. Already a proven commodity, in 2007 Geoff Holt became the first disabled yachtsman to sail single handed around Great Britain. Paralysed from the chest down, he sailed his 15 foot trimaran dinghy 1,500 miles to fifty-one destinations in a Challenge that took 109 days to complete. On his return, he wrote a best-selling autobiography, Walking on Water. Now he is attempting the "big one" and with a guaranteed 30 minute documentary and a launch planned with HRH Princess Anne and Dame Ellen MacArthur, DBE, this project offers the title sponsor a unique and highly "PR friendly" marketing opportunity for a modest cost. Contact: Geoff Holt. Address: Ty Melyn, St Anne's Lane, Shedfield SO32 2HR. Tel.: 01329 835151. E-mail: geoff@geoffholt.com. link to website

| SCH/PL004 |  HANNAH RICHARDS Hannah Richards - 1 circumnavigation, 10 ocean racing yachts, 40,000 miles, 15 races, 13 countries ... sounds like a challenge! Hannah has been lucky enough to secure a crew place on the Clipper 2011-2012 Yacht Race. She has always loved sailing and it has been a dream of hers to sail around the globe, experiencing the thrills and challenges associated with ocean racing. Hannah needs your help to make this dream a reality. • The benefits of getting involved? - it's all about perception and association. 1. Exposure - thanks to global communications and technology, the 2011-12 Clipper race will have an audience of over 300 million people in more than 200 countries, with extensive, international coverage in every form of media. 2. Business skills - the skills required to be successful at ocean racing are the same as those required to be successful in the business environment - for example, strong teamwork, clear communication, endurance, keeping a calm head under pressure and last but not least - gaining that competitive edge! 3. Promoting a positive lifestyle - sailing in extreme conditions is incredibly physically and mentally challenging; association with a competitor in this event shows support for a healthy attitude towards getting the most out of life. In short, it's the ideal sport and the ideal event with which to associate your image, branding, products and services as part of a promotional campaign that will repay investment many times over. • What Hannah can do for you: 1. Speaking at events - Hannah would love to come and talk to you and your company about the challenges she is likely to be facing and experiences gained in training so far - she has already learned an incredible amount about team working, leadership and quick thinking under pressure. As part of her job she is experienced in giving high quality presentations to large groups of people in a professional context. 2. Written materials - Hannah will send you regular updates and written articles on her progress towards the event. 3. Invitations to events - Hannah would be pleased to invite you to any events she holds to raise money towards this. With advance notice she may also be able to arrange for you to meet the team and tour the 68ft racing yachts. 4. Promotion - Hannah would be keen to promote your company and the support you have given her in the following ways: space and links on her website; wearing clothing branded with your logo (including during the race itself); recognition in media coverage up to and including the event. "Please get in touch if you are interested in being part of Hannah's team and making this amazing opportunity possible for her. Please feel free to contact Hannah if you would like to discuss this further". Contact: Hannah Richards. Address: 17c Talgarth Road, London W14 9DB. Tel.: 07976091481.

| SCH/PL005 | MAJOR PHIL PACKER Major Phil Packer is a paraplegic who was injured in Iraq last year and was told that he would not walk again. His injuries have improved and this year he has been given a Golden Ticket to walk the Flora London Marathon over two weeks (two miles each day). He will be the first paraplegic to do so. The MOD and KTB PR have a media plan with media partners including the BBC, Telegraph and Hello magazine, who will cover the exclusives for his story. He has just rowed the English Channel and, following the marathon, will climb El Capitan. His intention is to try out as many sports as possible to provide information to fellow injured servicemen and women and the wider disabled network. He has a website (www.philpacker.com) which is currently being redesigned and continuously improved. His intent is to raise £1 million for Help for Heroes, so all sponsorship would go directly to the charity and he would be delighted to wear a sponsor's logo on his clothing for his challenges, including the Flora London Marathon. The media covering his marathon attempt will be national and he hopes to gain public support through his quest. "I don't want any money from the sponsorship; this is an opportunity for a sponsor to get high publicity and donate their sponsorship to a fantastic charity". Contact: Major Phil Packer. Address: 4a Vincent House, Vincent Square, London SW1P 2NB. Tel.: 07841 045210. E-mail: phil@helpforheroes.org.uk. link to website
