Team Lovibond® Crosses The Line – Donating Over £800 To Charity On Behalf Of The Tintometer Ltd
set out at midnight to hike, climb, clamber and scramble along the Cotswold Way, covering 40 miles to the finish point where they crossed the line in a very respectable 7th place out of 32 teams. “We didn’t really set out to win the Plod – we saw it as a team challenge to help raise money for a very good cause. Backed by kind donations from our colleagues, friends and families in Amesbury and Wrexham, we are delighted to have achieved our goal,” said one of the team.
Four enterprising employees of The Tintometer Ltd put their best feet forward in June to raise money for Action Medical Research, a charity dedicated to supporting research to help hundreds of thousands of sick and disabled children in the UK. Taking part in the Cotswold PLOD, Team Lovibond®
PLODs are the ultimate team walking challenges. At around 40 miles, a PLOD is not a casual walk in the park. They are long, strenuous walking events that run through the night requiring team work, stamina and coordination. “On behalf of Action Medical Research, we are thrilled that Team Lovibond®
has come on board
to support our charity by taking on the incredible challenge of the Cotswold PLOD. All the monies raised from Cotswold PLOD will be going to fund our vital projects to help save babies’ lives. Around one in nine babies born in the UK needs some form of special care as a result of a difficult birth, a life-threatening condition, or because they were born too early. Events like the Cotswold PLOD and the fantastic support of teams like Team Lovibond®
, help to support this work. We
hope to raise £40,000 from the Cotswold PLOD and our sincere thanks go to Lovibond Tintometer for their amazing support, said an Action Medical Research spokesperson.
The ‘Plodders’, backed by the support team, finally arrived at Cleeve Hill Golf Course at 3pm on the Saturday to a well-deserved barbeque and other refreshments.

Whether deck mounted or inground, the Sunrise provides an automated, enclosed reel system with a powered lid to reveal the cover when operation is required. The high quality bench housing system offers the cover and reel extra protection thus extending their lives. Designed for the tough Australian climate, the frame work and cladding of the Sunrise is highly durable, UV stable and resistant to fading. The lid of the Sunrise is powered by actuators at each end and is supported by a counterbalance stainless steel spring within each extension module to make the lid weight neutral when open and hence eliminate sagging.
The deck mount system is housed in a high strength bench unit, covered in attractive, UV stabilised WPC cladding whist the in-ground system is surrounded in a heavy duty aluminium composite panel ready to be back filled around, leaving the clad and powered lid to raise from deck level and reveal the automated reel. Both systems are solar powered, but have a mains back-up and feature operation via control buttons upon the unit lid or one of the two remote control fobs provided. Designed as a modular system, the Sunrise is suitable for multiple pool widths up to 6.6m wide and can accommodate covers, with a towing system, up to 12m long. No hard wiring is required as the pre-mounted, heavily protected solar panel generates all the power required – and for those prolonged periods without sun a simple plug in low voltage mains charger is included. Certikin is running this not-to- be-missed offer until 31 December 2013 – get a free 400 micron bubble cover and factory fitted leading edge with every Sunrise reel system ordered or upgrade to a higher quality cover and pay only the difference.
