We need relay batons for 7/24. Last year, we used bits of old plastic plumbing pipe. This year, thanks to generous sponsorship from Upstart Solutions, we've got budget to pay for for something much better. Consequently I'm now looking for companies which can make these up for us.

If your company would be interested in making the batons, you'll find a link to the invitation to tender at the bottom of this article. We will need twenty-two batons (one for each team and two spares in case of problems) and a total of 454 rings. The winning bidder will be able to put their own logo on the caps of the batons. This is an opportunity to associate your company with what is going to be a very exciting cycling event.

Tenders must be in by 31st March; the winning bidder will be notified on 3rd April and the complete order should be delivered by 1st June. If you have any questions, please phone me on 01556 640181.
