Look like a team with SCODY
You'll need to get in quick for your SCODY corporate branded Around the Bay in a Day cycling kit that you, your colleagues and team members will love to wear, as deadlines begin 31 July (depending on design option).
SCODY digital processes mean there is no restriction on the design or number of colours and even photos can be transferred to fabric with rich colour and fine levels of detail.
The fabrics breathe and transport perspiration away from the skin so that you are dry, cool & comfortable.
Download the booking form from our website, or contact SCODY for a free design concept and let them show you how easy it is. Enquire now at www.scody.com.au or call 1300SCODY1 (1300 726391).
Portfolio Partners Century: Brisbane to Noosa Ride
Get a group of friends or workmates together over the Queens Birthday long weekend and take on the Portfolio Partners Century: Brisbane to Noosa 100 Mile (160km) Ride on Sunday 8th June 2008.
For those looking for a shorter ride then we have our 60 Mile (100km) Ride commencing at Caboolture, that follows the same course, and also finishes in Noosa.
What a way to take in all the sights and sounds of the Sunshine Coast, raise funds and revel in the knowledge that the ride takes place on a long weekend so you can have a few days break in Noosa!
