moveme goes to the dogs!
And the winner is… well, none of my dogs, anyway 
Yes, to celebrate our recent Series A funding round, our lovely Director’s organised for us to have an evening out at the Dog Races at Wimbledon Stadium.
Once we were all there, so the fun began! I was in charge of the photography (so apologies for the all the red-eye in the photos) and we have a load of smashing photo’s on Flickr. We were all given £20 worth of Tote’s to bet with over 13 races - fab! There was an open bar and a buffet, with the most gorgeous food you could ask for (if you are a fan of Indian and vegetarian food, which I am). There were many laughs, hugs and a roomful of flowing conversation - and we got a chance to meet one of investing partners, Frederic Court of Advent Venture Partners 
The girls posing as usual
Beer flowed, food was consumed, and as I observed from the edges, armed with my camera, I thought how lovely it is that we can, as colleagues, socialise outside of the offices, and get on like the best of friends. The atmosphere was lovely, and I know we all had a wonderful time!
However, when it comes to the races themselves… well, as I mentioned before, I didn’t win a penny. But I suppose that is what you get for picking out the dogs with the nicest names! It wasn’t all doomed though; as Sean and his wife recently found they were to be expecting a baby boy, he backed ‘Baby Blue’. All us cynics told him it would come fourth - but in first place it came! I suppose that’s what you get for challenging the betting tactics of a man who backed Betfair! We should have known…
The girls present a trophy - the dog is the one with the coat on
Oh… I almost forgot - moveme.com also sponsored 3 races! I certainly enjoyed presenting the trophies to the dogs, they were just gorgeous. It was also a really great photo opportunity, but I think the dogs steal the show
After the races had come to and end, we gathered ourselves up and moved on to a club in good old Wimbledon. Thanks to all the suppliers, investors and agencies that came… I’d thank you for the dancing too, but… well, I’m not a very good liar.
Charlie looking great the morning after
Unfortunately, despite the fact I would have loved to discuss last nights events with all my colleagues this morning, I think there may have been a bug going around. Strange really, that so many would call in sick on the same day…
Final Note:
I would just like to add that, as I personally view and reply to 99% of all Love It/Hate It/Ideas/Help comments sent through to us, I would like to say how much your views and opinions are appreciated. We are trying to re-invent home moving - and, in an age of technology and knowledge, it seems the process of moving home is a bit of an anachronism. If you can do even the most complex thing online, shouldn’t you be able to access home-moving information at your fingertips?!
Without your views, comments, ideas and support, moveme.com wouldn’t be where it is now - so keep it coming!
Over and out.
