Update so far (as of early May 2008)

Stuff already received:

• 24*700ml bottles of sweet chili sauce (and other similar sauces) from Hoo Hing Oriental Foods.
• Tunnock's caramel wafers (many) and hats, baseball caps, t-shirts, stickers (may put a couple on my car :-)), tea towels.
• 2*BHR180 rotary hammer drills (see drill page) from Makita.

Stuff hopefully arriving in the next few weeks:

• 30 tagged NiMH 18670 cells, 24 tagged C cells and a selection of other cells from GP Batteries.
• Teabags from Yorkshire Tea

Discounts offered (are we interested? please comment):

• 25% off from Science in Sport who make Go-Bars.
• Mountain House meals £4 down to £2.20

Suggestions for companies to contact

• Xplore technologies (http://www.xploretech.com). One of these tablet PCs may well be able survive caving (they are built to military specs and work underwater). It would be a convenient way to set up dataloggers, download data, and potentially has surveying applications as well (there are cave sketching programs written for pdas and tablet pcs). Edvin, could we ask for one of these? -Aaron 00:47, 15 May 2008 (BST)
  • Letter sent.

• Hilti: have we got our usual discount for spits and hiltis? -Aaron 06:48, 16 May 2008 (BST)
  • Have asked Stuart about this: I'm happy to wander into the Hilti shop in Cambridge at some point for anchors, setting tools and 8mm drill bits. Apparently spits and cones come in the Ingleton gear order.Edvin
