Ta for that - I distributed at work through our weekly staff newsletter, and have just sent a 'shameless plug' around to the people in my department. Who knows!
I, in an email to my colleagues, wrote:* cough *

<shameless plug>

http://www.justgiving.com/cin-tube

</shameless plug>

That is all.
As an update, I've noticed that Twitter doesn't allow -s in their hashtag names so the hashtag will (sorry, could it, I'm not a dictator!) be cintube.

Indeed, plus it uses less of your 140 characters anyway. Can those who will be tweeting give us their @ names here now in advance? It will make it easier to follow you all on the day, since following a #-tag is a bit meh

The way I read that article was that they are out there today doing the challenge, not tomorrow? Which would obviously mean that today is Guinness World Record Day! (Why oh why do we even need a "Guinness World Record Day"?)

They, being the Pudsey Challenge team were indeed out today as I met up with them :P

However, things did not go according to plan but I shall let them explain all so as to not steal their thunder :)
