Recession? Chinawhite? Check your testicles? What's the connection?

Off to Chinawhite for a charity event for the Everyman campaign run by the Institute of Cancer Research. The campaign funds research into male cancer, primarily prostate and testicular cancer. As Finance Directors we would normally balk at paying 10 Pounds for a drink but as this is going to charity we let it go. It seems that many others were in an even more generous mood taking full part in the auction which raised many thousands of pounds for the charity through prizes such as backstage passes to the Britney Spears concert at the O2 next year. In the melee were a Dragon from Dragons Den and a lovely female participant from Strictly Come Dancing.

The event was organised by our friends at Alexander Tate (http://www.alexandertate.com/ ) which has worked as an ambassador for the ICR for nearly three years now.

Talking to various entrepreneurs provided us with further confirmation that the business community isnt as gloomy as the media would make out. Infact many well funded entrepreneurs see this as an opportunity to make acquisitions on the cheap.

Meanwhile, a final plug for the charity, their website is http://www.everyman-campaign.org/ and you can hear Rachel Stevens telling you how to examine your testicles here .
