Through VU Ltd, Victor Ubogu pledged to help raise £1 million in 5 years as part of his 1 in 5 campaign. Our numerous events have contributed hugely to this drive and throughout the world, children and families are benefitting from the VU contributions - ALL SUPPORTED BY YOU! Your attendance, participation and kind donations are so gratefully appreciated by us and the charities we support.

Cyclothon is just months away and Victor is in full training mode. He might need to step up his game this year as competition among the sports stars is getting fierce. With the heart and passion they always brought to the rugby pitch, our Scottish contingent are growing in numbers and strength. The Cyclothon 2012 team of Jocks now includes Scott Hastings, Craig Chalmers, Doddie Weir, David Hilton and Rob Wainwright. That’s quite a force to be reckoned with! The friendly rivalry between the Scots and English exists in most sports and we are sure that Cyclothon at Brands…

Two games down.  The first 2 weekends of the of the RBS Six Nations Championships 2012 has been enjoyable……well that it is to say that it has been great to catch up with our usual and loyal travellers, share much banter and indulge in all the fine beverages that Edinburgh and Rome have to offer.  Tiger Lilly in Edinburgh was first class as normal and the Roof Top Bar at the Sofitel Rome, with the panoramic, spectacular and picture postcard views of Rome was fantastic.  What a brilliant find and the perfect spot to enjoy the excitement of the…

The VU team are busy this week and not just talking rugby! Cyclothon UK has re-launched and will be taking place on September 13th, 2012 at Brands Hatch.  Victor will be appearing at the Rose Bikes stand at the London Bike Show (Excel) on Thursday and Friday and challenges anyone to come and size him up to see if they could race him up those hills at Brands Hatch. He has so far wisely declined the request to wear his cycling lycra, but please pop along to say hello and ask how his training's going.

For all the…
