A-level Results

Monday 20 August 2007

So the big day was last week and A-level results have now come and gone! It was definitely a crazy day for a lot of you out there and I hope you all got what you needed/were hoping for! Thursday night was even crazier and it saw Pepper in London at both Coco Latte in Earls Court and at the Clapham Grand for some massive celebrations. I think that on Friday morning the Pepper team was feeling the effects of A-level celebrations even worse than most of you who actually got your marks! Was a great night though!!

At least everyone is now able to decide what they are going to be doing with the rest of this year as well as with 2008. If travelling around and experiencing South Africa sounds good to you, get hold of us or have a look at the website and hopefully we can help by finding a Pepper experience perfect for you.

Pepper Team in Cornwall!

Monday 13 August 2007

Well, we're into August and it looks like summer has finally come! The Pepper team took full advantage of the sunshine by spending the last week down on Cornwall. We spent most of our time around Polzeath and Newquay, where the Rip Curl Boardmasters was taking place. We'd just like to say a huge congratulations to South Africa's own Royden Bryson who made it to the semis as well as Nikita Robb who got to the Quarters in the ladies contest.

Polzeath was our first stop and we spent a great few days there. What an amazing spot...Thanks so much to all the guys and girls at the Oyster Catcher where we spent a large amount of our time. If anyone is around Polzeath way, make sure you pop into the Oyster Catcher for a few beers and some great food. The view is awesome and the fish pie is unbeatable!!

On Thursday the 9 August we had a really good Pepper evening at the Oyster Catcher. Thanks to everyone who came through, especially the Rock crew who gave up a quiet DVD evening to pull through. We had our second competition draw on the night and Ollie Ritchie was picked as the finalist. Congratulations to him. If anyone is interested in winning a 3 month Pepper Experience, check out the website and send us an entry ASAP. Entries close on 24 August!!!
