Good
morning <Name>
Yesterday I received a call from Kevin Marsdon's wife
Sue.
Kevin sadly passed away on Monday. He'd been poorly for a while
and Kevin was ready to move on.
I'd like to put a tribute together next
week. If you knew Kevin and would like to say a few words, please send them to
me via email and I'll include them.
Sue is happy for anyone who knew him
to attend the cremation at
Easthampstead Crematorium at 10:30am Friday 2nd March.
There will be a collection for a Buddhist Eco Village he was involved
with.
Kevin and I connected, working together on a project we called
"smile and dial". We combined his wealth of experience in communication with my
email marketing knowledge and ran a number of workshops. He was the first copy
writer on Business in Berkshire.
I will think of him fondly, a genuinely
nice man who was always calm, even when tailgating, Italian style, behind the
wheel of his Ferrari!
He would have enjoyed the spoof UN story
below...

An Inconvenient
Truth
SPECIAL SCREENING OF AL GORE’S FILM AN
INCONVENIENT TRUTH
at The Chartered Institute of Marketing, Cookham at
7.30pm Friday March 16th 2007
Cookham’s Kedida Project is
organizing a special screening of Al Gore's film - An Inconvenient Truth at the
Chartered Institute of Marketing, Cookham, at 7.30pm on Friday 16 March. This
is a two-hour documentary film that brings to life the threats caused by
climate change/global warming. It has had a major impact on public opinion in
the USA and increasingly in the UK where it is now on public release. Associate
Director of Christian Aid Matthew Reed will introduce the film and at the end
will tell us more about the Kedida project and the impact it will have on
people’s lives and well-being.

Record Advance
Orders for Sony Playstation 3
High street retailers Woolworths have announced they are
taking advance orders for the new Sony Playstation 3 at an amazing rate of 1
every 20 seconds – the fiercest demand they’ve ever experienced for
any gaming console. This comes despite widespread criticism of the
playstation’s high price.
Gamers have had a long wait for the new
Playstation and despite the £425 price tag, the system looks set to fly
off the shelves when it becomes available in the UK during March. Production
delays initially held back the launch according to an official statement by the
company: "the delay in the mass production schedule of the blue laser diode
within the Sony Group, thus affecting the timely procurement of key components
to be utilised in PlayStation 3." (The ‘blue laser diode’ is a key
component of the PS3’s Blu-Ray drive.)

Third world development: UN suggest
internet fraud
The United Nations is proposing a radical new way
to end poverty in Africa; training farmers to switch from subsistence
agriculture to internet fraud.
‘It’s simple;’ said Mr
James Bowen, UN Spokesman for Development. ‘Give a man a fish and you feed
him for a day. Teach him to phish, and before you know it he’s ordering a
Merc and moving fast up the Nigerian rich list.’

Practical help to overstretched
small businesses
Fish In Custard offers practical help to overstretched small
businesses.
Small businesses often have too much to do and not enough
time in which to do it, especially when chasing down new orders or projects
takes priority. Trouble is, that can leave an event short of visitors, the
office admin piling up with unsent (and therefore unpaid) customer invoices and
overdue VAT payments.
Fish In Custard offers a variety of business
services to small firms whose best intentions remain just that. So they will
keep your back office admin up to date, carry out research projects, undertake
marketing and PR campaigns and manage events, which recently included a series
of student roadshows to promote the business strategy tool, Yomp.
