Twenty teams participated in this worthwhile cause with everybody seeming to enjoy their day.


More importantly a substantial sum was raised for Niamh Curry's specialised therapy.


&ldquo;My name is Niamh and I am 5 years old.   In September 2011, I was devastated to find out my neuroblastoma had come back.   Neuroblastoma is a very aggressive type of cancer that mainly affects babies and young children like me.&ldquo;   Brave Niamh has already endured many, many different cancer treatments in the UK&nbsp; &mdash; but her best chance of beating this awful cancer lies &nbsp;in America.   However, this potentially life-saving treatment is likely to cost in the region of &pound;450,000 !   Niamh&rsquo;s mum and dad hope that she can start her specialised therapy in America early this year and so Niamh&rsquo;s friends and family aim to raise as much money as possible for this life-saving treatment.

IMG were again invited to cover this event which has proved to be successful on previous occassions.

The event was well attended with all the participants involved giving the evening a great atmosphere.

We have been able to do Montages and Magazine Covers for some time now although we have had to outsource the printing making the cost not that viable.


However, now we have invested in our own 12 x 8&rdquo;(A4 approximately) dye sub printer which produces some great results that match that of the High Street stores and Professional Labs.


A special promotional price for one of these until 30th June 2012 will be:


Up to three photos on one montage &pound;20.00


Thereafter &pound;4.00 for each additional photo (Subject to design and fit).


If your event does not show this on the price list, please contact us for more details.

The horses looked in superb condition and the Cambridgeshire light brought out the best in them.


This showed in the fact that the co-owners bought ten photos on the day and Sharon asked for a further four to be placed onto her web site.


The three horses that competed that day were Azeb, Cavalier Bertie and Just Maisie II.

So why not consider buying one for the ideal Christmas present.

Please Read on


(Hopefully, all existing customers should have already received an email similar to below)

However, very fortunately, we are gaining new business at a phenomenal rate and repeat business is being promised from 100% of the jobs done this year.


This is resulting in our diary already starting to fill out very quickly.


Our main aim is to make sure that our regular work is catered for firstly and fore-mostly.


If you could indicate that you would like IMG to commit to covering your event, please do so by return of email.


If you also have a definite date, we will book it in and confirm.


If your date is yet to be confirmed, please give an approximate date and we will pencil this in.   We will then notify you first if we receive another enquiry for that time.


We are very keen to build on our relationship with local business and would like to thank you for your business this year.

Eight schools took part and sent one to three teams to compete in four different classes.


Although the competition was high, the main emphasis was in having a good fun day and for the schools to mix.


Again, this was very well organised and the day went off with no hitches (apart from a few bumps and bruises).


Thanks to the organisers and the owners of Lime Kiln Farm, we hope to see you there again in June.

This initiative was set up by Premier Sport Limited whereby school children are encouraged to walk or run at least one mile per week.


Although this does not sound much, most participants easily beat this figure. 


The emphasis is on the children monitoring and recording the amount walked within a safe environment.


23 Northampton schools had previously enrolled and had come together to accept awards for the most miles covered or for special commendations for partaking and involvement.


     


Olympic Gold Medallist Duncan Goodhew was on hand as an ambassador to encourage and answer questions.


Also covering the event were the local newspaper and BBC Northampton, as well as Heart FM

It was all produced very tongue in cheek and everybody had a bit of fun that day.

Unfortunately the clip from the programme is no longer available. 


Ah well, that&rsquo;s my 15 minutes of fame.

HOWEVER, we are always on the lookout for new blood.


We are based in Kettering, Northants, in the heart of England, but very often travel distances of up to 100 miles to cover events.


This, sometimes does not make it viable, for example, for some of our team to travel from the east of the region to the far west.


We are particularly looking for sales staff with very good computer skills, image manipulation and friendly attitude to help in the following areas;


Buckinghamshire / Berkshire


Norfolk / East Anglia


Nottingham / Birmingham.


We also occasionally require very good photographers in these areas, although you must supply a portfolio of recent work (after initial contact), together with your area of expertise and photographic equipment available.


(i.e.   Sports, Equestrian, Proms, Black Tie Balls, etc)


All the above are on an ad-hoc basis, dependant upon the location of the event, include long days (or nights), very hard work and renumeration is dependant on the turnover of the event.


If any of this is of interest to you, please contact us at enquiries@img-photography.co.uk ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Could you earn a finders fee ?</title><dc:creator>ian@img-photography.co.uk</dc:creator><category>Earn money with IMG</category><dc:date>2010-03-10T17:45:15+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.img-photography.co.uk/blog/files/mar-2010#unique-entry-id-6</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.img-photography.co.uk/blog/files/mar-2010#unique-entry-id-6</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[We are always on the lookout for new events in the East Midlands area.
