177 BASICALLY A FACE ON A PILLOW...

So Ellis might be joining us on the trip. Well, an effigy of Ellis might be, anyway! While speaking with Sarah about the fundraising we were considering in Ellis' name, she said we should take him with us, which freaked me out. I was thinking there would be a tub of ashes or something, then she produced a little cuddle pillow thing with his face on it.

Sarah had created a pillow with Ellis' face on it - something he would have hated, apparently, as his head looks massive! She explained that we could take it along for the trip so he would be with us. I suggested that we create our own and take pictures of him with us at various points along the way.

A quick check shows that they are called a Snugzy. Their blurb on their website says, "The home of the Snugzy; The Cuddly. Loveable. Huggable Personalised Custom Face Pillow. With over 1000 character designs to choose from, you'll find the perfect gift for anyone or every occasion. Transform yourself or turn a friend into a photo pillow today and create a unique photo cushion the whole family can adore!"

They cost about £30 for a personalised pillow, which is nothing really, so we should definitely get one made for the trip. I'll ask Sarah if she has the same picture of Ellis she used, and then upload it to the website. It then gives the option of creating a personalised outfit, so I'll speak to the guys and see if they have a preference for an outfit for him.

We could put the ARMCOB logo on a t-shirt, or possibly the Bust Rallies one. Possibly the New Start logo or an image of the route we are taking. How about a combination of the lot? Ellis was covered in tattoos, we could do one like the picture above? Another thing to discuss at the next round table. At this rate, we are going to need an Agenda, minutes from the previous meeting and an action log. Worse than work this!!!
