Football Sponsorship Deal

Posted 6:57 PM Sunday September 11, 2005 by Paul Maunders

Fubra are proud to announce today the completion of a 5 year sponsorship deal with Southwood Girls FC worth £5 million. The club kits will be branded with the famous "OurProperty.co.uk" website address. Commenting on the deal, Fubra Director and OurProperty Co-Founder Paul Maunders said: "We are proud to be sponsoring a local youth team, and feel that we the deal represents great value for both parties. The Southwood Girls FC match spectators will be sure to log on and check house prices in their area. " OK, so the deal wasn't quite worth £5,000,000 - but we did pay for their kits :)

When was the last time you went camping?

Posted 10:51 AM Wednesday September 7, 2005 by Paul Maunders

I went camping with my girlfriend for the first time in years a few weeks ago, and it struck me how fun it was. OK, so I got a bit stressed when we took a wrong turn off the M3 and had to backtrack 20 miles, and then again when we were putting the tent up, but overall it is a peaceful and relaxing experience.

It's quite surreal seeing cows and ponys wander freely around the New Forest, but is a welcome distraction from the hustle and bustle of living in a city or town.

Unfortunately for me, I had to learn as I went, but next time I will be sure to check out our camping guide which has tips and advice for anyone thinking of going on a camping trip.

Posted 11:00 AM Thursday September 1, 2005 by Paul Maunders

It's taken a while but we finally have a decent VOIP phone system to allow us to cope with the growing needs of our business. Asterisk Plus is a version of Asterisk packaged and installed by Andrews & Arnold ISP. It adds an easy to use (and very welcome) front end to the underlying Asterisk infrastructure.
