Re-Search Christmas Competition

Sponsored by The SAR Bookshop

I will be taking a two week break from writing this blog at the end of this week and, as seems traditional these days on all the media, will be filling the time till then with a round-up of the best bits from last year, a look forward to the content for the New Year, and a Christmas Competition [kindly sponsored by The SAR Bookshop, opening in the New Year! Have you noticed the almost subliminal advertising?]

The competition will run from today till midnight on Thursday.

The winning entry [as chosen by ME!] will be given a 15% discount on their first order from The SAR Bookshop.

All runner-ups will be given a 5% discount on their first order.

I was tempted to ask a question based upon the keywords someone actually typed into Google to find this website – “Who is Johnnie Walker the person?” – but I decided I couldn’t afford the legal fees defending any libel case!

So instead, I want you to come up with a motto for a fictitious UK SAR Team. You know the sort of thing;

Support your local SAR Team
GET LOST!

Your entry can be serious, witty or amusing, or just informative.

[Terms and Conditions apply - Re-Search may use your idea in commercial products, T-shirts, Mugs and so on, without further reward to you!]

Good luck and I’ll announce the winner in my last scheduled post of the year on Friday!

    Christman Competition answer-hmm “SAR reaches the parts other agencies cannot…” or “nine out of ten VPs prefer you called in a SAR team ASAP..” or “Save a Life, learn to Rain Dance” or “Dont be square, join SAR and cube it” or “if it aint rainin’ it aint SAR trainin’..” or “SAR Boys do it outside, in all weathers…” or “SAR Boys do it without tying you up first” or “SAR Boys boldly go where…no-one else bloody wants to” or “bleeding, exhausted, cold, wet, stung, battered filthy but happy-are you hard enough..? SAR, a rare breed” or “SAR does it when no-one else can” or “SAR take the IM out of IMPOSSIBLE..” or “INSANE, IN SAR..” or “If you love to be warm and dry, we dont want you..” or “SAR girls & boys do it together in mud”. Is that enough ideas Rob? I left out the best ones as know they would get me in trouble! Beth x
