Hello…

August 2013 is sponsored by Gromit. The five ft hound has taken over the city and Bristol Facebook accounts.

How can it be August? It was only February last month surely? Chopsy Baby may have been a little quiet on cyberspace front recently, but behind the coding, it has been a flurry of estate agents, surveyors and solicitors. By the end of the summer, the website should be out of the office and into a Bristol retail space.

 

What You Need To Know…

 

This August, we would like to make it clear to Gromit Hunters how to maximise their photographic experience.

Key Points To Remember:

Make sure you hog every Gromit you find by taking thousands of photographs on your iPhone, iPad and camera.

Queuing is a bore isn’t it? Encourage your children to run in out of turn spoiling other people’s quick snaps and raising the blood pressure of waiting families.

Make sure you ignore the clear sign informing you not to climb Gromit by sitting on top of it. Considering Gromit is five ft, there are many illiterate adults around.

Of course, when you are out in the town completely trollied, smashing them up is always a great idea.

 

 

Featured Event…

Bristol is going Gromiting this summer, seeking out 80 Gromits across the city until 08 September 2013. All proceeds from the event will be going to Bristol Children’s Hospital charity Wallace and Gromits Grand Appeal. For more information, visit: www.gromitunleashed.org.uk

Have you planned lots of activities for the summer holidays?

“No it’s impossible for me. We all take one day at a time.”
