Liam Tancock Graces The First Issue Of WOW

The first issue of this year's Loughborough Students Athletic Union Magazine, WOW went out to the new freshers this week at the perfect time as the cover was dedicated to the new Commonwealth 50m backstroke champion Liam Tancock. Liam is a Loughborough athlete and is the current 50m backstroke world record holder.

The first issue is not out on line yet but it will be soon so keep an eye out.

5or6 Meet a Record Breaker!

We met backstroke World Record holder Liam Tancock today to talk to him about this year's Charnwood Borough Sports Awards.

Last year 5or6 MD Peter Simmons presented Liam with his award at the 2009 Charnwood Sports Awards, so we caught up today to interview him about what the Charnwood Sports Awards can do for the local community before he heads off to the Commonwealth Games in Delhi.

The interview and footage captured will be used for this year's Charnwood Sport's Awards video. The Awards will takes place on Wednesday 6th December at the town hall in Loughborough, for more information on the awards visit http://www.charnwood.gov.uk/pages/charnwoodsportsawards.

Charnwood Sports Awards '09 Presentation

Last night we attended the Charnwood Sports Awards presentation evening. The event was a great success and here at 5or6 we produced the programme for the evening, videos for the event, tickets, and branding. We also sponsored the coveted Sports person of the year award, and up for the award was Jo Jackson (world swimming silver medalist and world record holder), Harry Aikines-Aryeetey (Olympic medalist) and Liam Tancock (world swimming gold medalist and world record holder). The award was eventually won by Liam Tancock.

"It is fantastic for the council and the community to recognise sporting achievements in Charnwood from Olympic athletes to local sports clubs" - Peter Simmons (photo second from the left) 5or6 Managing Director

The event was something that we actively seeked to be involved in due to our background in sport and sports design, and felt that it was a great event for the borough and for the county of Leicestershire, as it showed the dept in sporting talent we have here.
