All stations go!
Well, we've had an eventful few days here at the IOTM headquarters.
On Tuesday Leigh and Johno journeyed over to Newslade Community College in Leicester and spoke to the Sixth Formers about supporting our adventure and helping us raise our ambitious target of £20,000 (Donate here: http://www.justgiving.com/itsonthemeter) for the British Red Cross. It was an interesting afternoon out and presenting the idea to 300 young people really hammered home the enormity of the challenege a little more.
We're really looking forward to working with Newslade and hope that we can get them as excited about the trip as we are.
Meanwhile Paul was attending the Engine Room Pitch workshop as part of the Sheffield Documentary Film Festival to learn a bit more about what to do with the footage we will acquire over eight months.
This was followed by BBC Radio Leicester featuring us on their breakfast show along with soundbites from some rather bemused cabbies. The full interview can be heard here, about 21 minutes in
We have also sent off for some shiny new passports and are waiting to hear back from a motoring museum in Sydney regarding them being the final reciepients of our beloved Hannah the Taxi so generations of visitors can see the hunk of junk we broke the world record in!
Finally, we are waiting with our fingers and toes crossed to hear whether we have been shortlisted for the Performance Direct Non-Standard Insurance Awards. Results are announced on 31 March.
Over Easter we will be reunited with Hannah, although she is uninsured, untaxed and needs an MOT...
