The past few weeks a few of us Whitewater folk have been muttering these words under our breath. You may well ask yourself; is it to do with the mass scope of appeals and fundraising activity we have lined up for the summer months? Nope. Or is it to do with bracing ourselves for another British summer? The answer my friends is again - no.

It all started a few weeks ago, while a few of us were down in Poole, having a meeting with our RNLI clients... but someone was missing. That someone was a fine young gentleman named Sam Bond. Or as some of you might get to know him, Atlas!

Yes, Sam, or should I say 'Atlas' has become a Gladiator – and has already started filming with the rest of the Gladiator team for Sky. And everyone here at Whitewater wants to wish him lots and lots of success. So, all together now "ARE YOU READY?"
