Horsing Around

Over the years Atlas has taken part in a number of events to help support the local communities and charities in Cheshire, Yorkshire and Glasgow. Our latest sponsorship proved somewhat controversial amongst colleagues, as representatives from the Nantwich office sponsored a fund raising event for Crewe Alexandra Football Club’s away supporters to help keep their cost of travelling to a minimum. Controversial because there is plenty of inter-company rivalry and banter regarding which team individuals support. This has been particularly tense recently with various exchanges of SMS messages and emails following Leeds United losing 6-4 to Preston having been 4-1 up and Crewe Alex drawing 5-5 with Chesterfield having been up by the same score.

Atlas were one of the key sponsors for the Travelling Crewe Fans race night. The race night proved a big success and was enjoyed by all who attended. Craig Cameron was the big winner on the night having turned a 50p bet (last of the big spenders) into £8. In between the races the organisers had auctions and bits of trivia to keep people entertained; Joe Jardine proved lucky during one such game (although he will tell you it was skill) when he beat approximately 100 other contestants in a ‘heads or tails’ challenge and correctly predicted which side the coin would land on 11 consecutive flicks. He won an extra large Crewe Alex training t-shirt, those of you that have met Joe will see the funny side of this.
