So basically about being a Tw*t then? You might want a better comparative. Oh and fix the image size please.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

fatbob, it also appears to be completely different to the gumball rally. For starters you couldn't enter the gumball in the VW Golf pictured in the advert, and I don't remember the gumball stopping for a bit of skiing.
For those unaware, the Rally is one of Snow-Camp's key snowsports based fundraising events of the year raising significant funds towards our work supporting innner-city young people through the use of snowsport and life-skills programmes. Check out the short movie giving you a full overview of our work here:
Last year, our participants raised over £10,000 for our work and this year looks set to go 'above & beyond' once again. We're extremely fortunate to have gained the in-kind support of the 5 snow-centres in England (offering their slopes for free to our participants) to maximise the events fundraising potential, as well as the generous support from a range of partners offering a great range of prizes for the winners and top fundraisers.

Which is Ed Leigh's area of expertise after all.
Good cause / bad choice of spokesman.
Good luck with it Dan!
After all it is free

DanKeeley7, Just to be clear I've nothing against SnowCamp which is a great initiative. I do have a bit of a problem with self indulgent fundraising attempts which are more of a lark for the participants than the money actually raised but you're probably on the right side of the "sponsor me to ski the 3 Valleys for the weekend or climb Kilimajaro" type stuff and I realise you need something to raise the profile.
I do think comparing it to the Gumball is counter-productive unless you really want moneyed types breaking all sorts of laws in the name of your charity but hey ho.
You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

read the rules!! its not about being the fastest around, as you have to be at each snowdome/centre at a specific time, so its been quite clever in stopping the 'gumball rally' break all the speed limits type of race. it also means you can do it in a cheap Golf or even a VW camper van!!

iskar, So why refer to Gumball in your marketing and have a logo which is similar if you deliberately don't want to court the comparison or attract people on the basis it's something more exciting than it is?
That's the only thing I'm calling them out on.
snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

Point of order - Gumball operates on pretty much the same rules. Its a timed navigation rally, you have a set distance to cover and a time which will allow you to get from start to finish comfortably within the speed limits. People who break those rules get no advantage in the event. Its about arriving at your destination at the time you're told to, NOT as quickly as possible - arrive early and you're penalised.
Thats not to say that Gumballers don't hoon it around like crazy freaks with their a-holes full of fireworks, and with that, the inevitable fall-out, as they clearly do...
