| EE/PL001 |  INSPIRE EDUCATION: UK SCHOOLS MEMORY CHAMPIONSHIPS Inspire Education has been working with schools across the UK providing exciting and revolutionary services to all sectors of education. The organisation is passionate about raising the attainment and aspirations of students regardless of ability, to maximise their potential for learning and to achieve success in life. They have set up the UK Schools Memory Championships in order to achieve these goals. Over three hundred students competed in 2007/2008. This year, there are thousands competing. Inspire Education's highly trained presenters visit schools to deliver memory training to groups of students. These students are given a pre-printed training manual, which has been written by the eight times World Memory Champion Dominic O'Brien. Participating schools receive a Brain Club resource pack, which aids the students in setting up a club to promote memory development and brain training in general. After a period of training, in-school competitions take place across the UK. These competitions assess each student's ability to memorise five types of information in a test of raw memory power. The top students in the country are invited to a national final which is held in the region of the previous year's winner (for 2009 this is Northampton). The competition is a great way both of embedding memory techniques into education and developing life-long learning skills which are transferable across the curriculum and throughout life. Inspire Education constantly receives excellent feedback from schools, stating that these skills have had a positive affect on examination preparation and attainment levels. Recent research has shown that training the memory leads to a direct increase in problem solving ability, otherwise known as fluid intelligence. Participating students become proficient at putting these skills into practice to memorise and recall random words, random numbers and even the order of a shuffled deck of playing cards. As well as the realisation that they have acquired a powerful set of skills, this gives them the motivation and self confidence to memorise anything. These techniques are then effortlessly applied to their studies. The winners of last year's competition appeared on the BBC Breakfast News and the competition was featured in The Times and the Daily Telegraph. The size of the competition has increased dramatically this year and with it, the media interest is even greater. "As a sponsor you will be supporting the involvement of many schools that have limited funds to get involved in the training and competition; the growth of the competition throughout the UK and the provision of cutting edge resources for schools and students. Ultimately you will be helping to raise the attainment and aspirations of thousands of students across the UK. We regularly send promotional material to schools, educational departments and to government bodies. The competition has featured in several broadsheets and on the BBC News. You will be featured on all of our promotional material and on all of our press releases and television spots. Working with us will undoubtedly inspire you". Contact: Neil Denley, Director.

| EE/PL002 |  JO CAMERON HIGH PERFORMANCE ACADEMY Jo Cameron, business woman and media personality, has launched a quest to recognise the high performing women of the Midlands. Jo's High Performance Academy specialises in progressing women at work and in business and the main event, The Women on Their Way Awards, will take place at the Botanical Gardens on 27th February, 2009. This will be the first of a series of events to engage, inspire and to promote the skills of women in the Midlands. Sponsoring the awards will put the sponsor's brand right up with the best. A sponsor's association with the Academy tells their customers and staff that they value the contribution of women at work, making the company more accessible and increasingly well known in an ever more diverse marketplace. It says that the sponsor is supportive of women's enterprise and the sponsorship will powerfully support the sponsoring company's objectives in this area. "You can use the links with our brand to promote your business to more women and demonstrate that you are 'women aware' and that their clientele is important to you. You can also use the links to drive more traffic to your website and show to the world that women matter". For more information regarding the event, call 0870 2626555 or email talkto@jocameron.co.uk or visit the website at www.womenontheirway.co.uk. Contact: Lisa Ibbotson, Events & Communications Manager.

| EE/0005 | THE KATE KENNEDY CLUB The Kate Kennedy Club exists to preserve the Kate Kennedy Annual Procession and has three aims: 1. Maintaining the traditions of the University and town of St. Andrews; 2. Upholding and improving Town and Gown relations; and 3. Raising money for local charities. The Kate Kennedy Procession is the Club's main event and the one around which the Club was founded. Each year both Town and Gown assemble to form a crowd of some 15,000 people on the streets of St. Andrews to celebrate the lives and contributions of some of the great men and women of the town and university. The procession has a long history but its organisation by the Kate Kennedy Club has ensured that it is a great tradition in the life of the town, a special day for town and gown alike. The Kate Kennedy Club Charity May Ball is the biggest ball in Scotland and is the main social event of the University calendar. The ball claims to offer exceptionally good value compared to many balls both within and outside St. Andrews, through sponsorship and careful spending. The ball is held in luxury marquees in the beautiful surroundings of Craigtoun Park, more than 2,000 undergraduates enjoying free drinks, food, fairground attractions and live bands. Those who want a little more can enjoy the unique Gold and Platinum experiences which boast helicopter rides over St Andrews, limousines to the park and an exclusive champagne reception. The Charity Opening Ball is the first social event of the academic year, and aims to bring the members of the University together. Hosted on Lower College Lawn in luxury marquees, guests are received with a champagne reception and piper, making this a splendid way to begin a university career. The Kate Kennedy Club Jazz Night, held in November, is one of the Club's most popular events, entertaining over 250 people with bands playing jazz and blues in a sophisticated ballroom setting. Some of the top professional jazz bands play to a packed dance floor. Contact: Julian Kaye, Head of Sponsorship. Address: Porters Lodge Mailing Room, College Gate, St. Andrews, Fife KY16 9AJ.
