Testing Circle are privileged to be supporting Shooting Star CHASE hospice care for Children, a Charity that is near and dear to our hearts.  They provide love and support to hundreds of families with life-limited children (which cost them around £23,000 a DAY).

We are proud and honoured to support such a worthy cause...by throwing ourselves out of a plane.  We are aiming to jump on 3rd September 2011 (date to be confirmed) and we would be so grateful if you could donate to the cause, every penny helps.  A great benchmark, is however much you want to see our Recruitment team hurl themselves thousands of feet from the sky, that's how much you could donate. We are aiming to jump on Saturday September 3rd (depending on the weather).

The IT Managers Network video filmed at our last event on Thursday 12th May 2011  is now available for viewing.  There was some great footage taken on the night, and we’ve recently had it edited (trust me, it was for your own good) down to just under two minutes of fun-filled footage.  Please click on the video below or have a look at our YouTube channel to view the final cut!

Last Thursday (May 12th 2011) played host to the most recent IT Managers Network Event for senior-level IT professionals.  As you can see from the pictures, we all had a great time - especially as there were over 100 people in attendance!  The venue was completely packed and the atmosphere was buzzing - there were so many varying conversations, from IT and business, to football and poker!  The drinks were flowing all night, and we discovered that Timothy Taylor beer is a definite favourite amongst senior-level IT guys!  The canapés served up by Green’s were so delicious, two of the best were most certainly the mini portions of fish and chips, and the tiny steak and onion pies.  We have already been contacted by most of the attendees asking when the next ITMN event is - we are pleased to announce that it will be THURSDAY 22ND SEPTEMBER...so save the date!  We have had some great written testimonials from people who attended, which are due to go up on the site soon.

BIG congratulations go out to our raffle prize winners;

• Ralph Harrison at Pinesoft, and John Mathews at DHL both took home a bottle of Moet Chandon champagne each!
• 10% off voucher for buyagift.co.uk was won by Stephen Wilde at TI Group
• Ralph Pobjoy at MarkIT was awarded a £40 gift voucher for wrappz.com
• £100 dinner voucher for two, for Green’s Restaurant & Oyster Bar was won by Callan Jones and RBS
• The top prize was won by Faisel who took home a voucher worth over £400 from Royal Mid Surrey Golf Club, for a four-ball game of golf!
• Thank you once again to all our sponsors and of course to all the people who attended - the next event date will be announced soon!

The next IT Managers Network event at Greens Restaurant and Oyster Bar is coming up on May 12th and after the great success of the last seven events...we are going BIGGER and BETTER!  We have already confirmed 85+ senior IT professionals and the list is ever-growing.  The evening is unique in its no-nonsense approach - it is invite-only (which maintains level or senior professionals we have present) there are no speeches or presentations and no one is selling to you...it is simply a champagne reception, followed by more drinks and canapés, with a chance to ‘rub shoulders’ with your peers.  Oh, and of course the free raffle sponsored by the Royal Mid Surrey Golf Club, Greens Restaurant and Oyster Bar, Wrappz and Buyagift.
