howies offers you a golden ticket to an eco Loompaland......

Now I'm not one for going into depth so I'll let my friend Gabrielle from FifteenMinutes take over for this one............

Once a year, 20 amazing Doers converge on fforest (that’s Welsh for forest so that you know) farm in Cilgerran, West Wales and tell their stories to a diverse mix of individuals. Small tent, big ideas type of thing. It’s like a Glastonbury for the mind. Doers inspire the rest of us to go and do something positive.

The ‘Do Lectures’ were originally founded by Welsh brand howies but now sees the involvement of a broad selection of like-minded partners who make the whole thing happen. It has attracted an eclectic mix of speakers who not only inspire others but want to make a difference through big ideas, new innovations and life experiences. This year Do Lectures (taking place September 3 – 7) has a farmer who drove his tractor to parliament to change GM food, an illustrator from San Francisco who did the titles for Spike Jonzes new film, a man who is trying to change how concrete is made, a man who cycled around the world for 4 years, a man who started a school in Denmark based on chaos… plus lots of others interesting things.

To celebrate this year’s lectures, a commemorative T-shirt has been commissioned, which is equally as bright and positive as the event its self. Inspired by Welsh author Roald Dahl’s children’s classic ‘Charlie and the Chocolate factory’, howies have sewn a valuable golden ticket inside one ‘Do Lectures’ T-shirt. This means that one lucky Charlie Bucket will receive a prize event ticket, valued at £1000; with their 'Do Lecture' T-shirt. So be lucky.

The T-shirts are sold at £15 which means they are sold at no profit. The ‘Do Lectures’ logo has been printed on howies ethically sourced and 100% organic cotton T-shirts with a back print listing the 2009 events inspirational speakers. T-shirts are available to purchase from www.howies.co.uk.
