<p>I can tell you, I am not a big sports fan (either playing or spectating), but once I caught one of these games I was hooked. I&#8217;d defy anyone to not have fun night &#8211; right there amongst the action.</p>
<p>Congrats go to <a title="Id Gamez on Twitter" href="http://www.twitter.com/idgamez" target="_blank"><strong>@idgamez</strong></a> &#8211; who picked up those four VIP tickets. Well done you! Hope you enjoy whatever game you see &#8211; and hope the Rocks Win it! <img src='http://www.nsdesign.co.uk/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify">So tomorrow, for something completely different once again &#8211; we have  not 1, not 2, but 3 photographers offering photo sessions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Sunday 15th February, NSDesign celebrated 10 years in business &#8211; a very proud achievement and the perfect excuse to have a party &#8211; with a difference!</p>
<p><img src="http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2233/41/7/741772589/s741772589_1367383_6863.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="89" /> <img src="http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2233/41/7/741772589/s741772589_1367387_7967.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="86" /> <img src="http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2233/41/7/741772589/s741772589_1367406_3936.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="87" /></p>
<p>Teaming up with the <a href="http://www.scottishrocks.co.uk/">Scottish Rocks</a> Basketball team, we invited over 100 customers to the game against Cheshire Jets, enjoyed a load of on-court shenanigans, before opening up the bar with free food and drink to all..  In summary &#8211; a seriously good night.</p>
<p>We started the night (before the game) with our 5 competition finalists taking the court to attempt a free throw.  From the five, one made it, so congrats to Robert Scott who won an iPod:</p>
<p><img src="http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2233/41/7/741772589/s741772589_1367390_8879.jpg" alt="" width="86" height="130" /> <img src="http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2233/41/7/741772589/s741772589_1367398_1378.jpg" alt="" width="86" height="130" /> <img src="http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2233/41/7/741772589/s741772589_1367399_1714.jpg" alt="" width="88" height="130" /> <img src="http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2233/41/7/741772589/s741772589_1367385_7399.jpg" alt="" width="88" height="130" /> <img src="http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2233/41/7/741772589/s741772589_1367388_8240.jpg" alt="" width="86" height="130" /></p>
<p>We then picked Martyn Robertson at random, who won the chance to shoot for a brand new car&#8230;  Something we&#8217;d been promoting for the past few months, and given us a lot of publicity&#8230;  So did he make it?..  Check out this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XzRb57ZD2A">Youtube video</a> for a full summary of all the shots!!</p>
<p>The Game itself wasn&#8217;t the best, and the Rocks ended up losing, but as with any Basketball game at Kelvin Hall, the excitement, cheerleaders, and genral fun and games kept everyone enjoyed until it was time to hit the bar&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2233/41/7/741772589/s741772589_1367391_9159.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="86" /> <img src="http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2233/41/7/741772589/s741772589_1367402_2682.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="86" /> <img src="http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2233/41/7/741772589/s741772589_1367377_4766.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="86" /></p>
<p>After the game it was up to the &#8220;Kelvin Suite&#8221; (a very posh name for the wee bar up the stairs from the court), and everyone enjoyed some free food, drink, and birthday cake (both of them!)&#8230;  It was also our opportunity to say a few thanks for clients, like Simon Howarth &#8211; our very first customer back in Feb 99, to staff, and to everybody connected to NSDesign over the 10 years&#8230;  You can view my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTFRGDz4SRg">&#8220;Thank You&#8221; speech on You Tube</a>.</p>
<p> <img src="http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2233/41/7/741772589/s741772589_1367393_9733.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="86" /> <img src="http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2233/41/7/741772589/s741772589_1367396_604.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="86" /> <img src="http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2233/41/7/741772589/s741772589_1367397_894.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="86" /> <img src="http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2233/41/7/741772589/s741772589_1367407_4271.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="86" /></p>
<p>All in all&#8230; a seriously good night, and one that marks a very special decade of NSDesign.  Here&#8217;s to the next 10!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On the 26th March, The <a href="http://www.scottishrocks.co.uk/">Scottish Rocks</a> will play the Milton Keynes Lions, Live on <a href="http://www.setanta.com/en/UK/">Setanta TV</a> following an exclusive deal with the Basketball league. </p>
<p>It’s a brilliant opportunity for both the team, and the sponsors, with everyone hoping for a record crowd to showcase the Rocks to the rest of the UK.</p>
<p><img border="0" width="265" src="http://www.scottishrocks.co.uk/interface/img-homepage/7.jpg" height="248" /> </p>
<p>As an incentive, an &#8220;early booking&#8221; discount is available &#8211; From now through Monday 10 March only, you can book adult tickets for just £4 and child tickets for just £2! That&#8217;s more than half off the box office price.</p>
<p>These prices are valid only for on-line bookings and only through Monday 10 March for the Milton Keynes game (Wed 26 Mar) only.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.scottishrocks.co.uk/Tickets/">http://www.scottishrocks.co.uk/Tickets/</a></p>
<p>I look forward to seeing you there, and if you’d like to support <a href="http://www.nsdesign.co.uk">NSDesign</a> (the Rocks Official Web Partner) at the game, please get in touch and I’ll send you out some very glamorous promotional T-shirts that I’m sure the TV cameras will love!</p>
