Hey you guys!

So, perhaps some of you eager Beavers recently spotted that last Friday, we had the amazing privilege of sponsoring Sunset Cinema's Bristol showing of one of THEEEE greatest films ever.... The Goonies!

So what were we doing there?? Well, not only are we always up for a chance to see this 80s epic adventure, but we were also there to hand out goodies to movie goers, run a little competition to win some amazing prizes and generally have a good night with everyone all while wearing our finest exclusive Goonies TShirts of course. Be rude not to right?

Taking place at the gem of a location Bristol's Ashton Court, our task was simple....hand out a good few hundred bags of official TruffleShuffle.com popcorn to the plenty of hungry movie goers.

Handing out as many of these free bags of sweet goodness as we could possibly carry, it was so great to talk to fellow 80s lovers and of course Goonies mad fans. Take a peep at some of the action...

So as you may know if you read our blog post last week, this Sunday, the TruffleShuffle team took part in the Portishead Raft Race!

The aim was to raise as much money as possible for the RNLI Portishead Lifeboat and have a bit of fun at the same time.

Well you'll be glad to hear we succeeded on both counts and we were thrilled to come away with two prizes, one for 'Best Designed Raft' and the second (and most important in our opinion) for most money raised by a team.

We raised a whopping £3,241 for the Portishead Lifeboat and we'd like to say a huge thank to you to everyone who sponsored us. We really can't tell you how much we and the RNLI appreciate every penny.

Now for the bad news, despite the best efforts of our valiant crew, we came second to last in the actual raft race! Although our raft looked pretty damn awesome (even if we do say so ourselves,) it turned out our home made paddles were pretty useless and the whole raft was pretty wobbly once in the water; cue plenty of capsizes and lots of wet sailors. Shiver me timbers - quite literally!

It's back folks! Yep the TruffleShuffler insider is back again and ready to dive head-first into our next unsuspecting victim's willing participant's life!  Giving you an added insight into the inner workings of TruffleShuffle, who we are and what we do is the aim of the game.

This time round we’re taking a cheeky peep into the world of the father of TruffleShuffle, head honcho and MD Pat! Take it away….

What do you do here at Truffle Towers?

Everything and anything… I’m joint Managing Director along with wife Claire.

January to March I’m normally debriefing from our busy Christmas period, working out how to improve our operations for next Christmas, finding out what sold well and how we can provide more great products for our customers over the next 12 months. (Did you know, we ship about half of our annual orders in the six weeks leading up to Christmas? Each day in December is busier than a week in January – who’d have thought it for a predominately t-shirt company – I certainly didn’t!). This winter I’ve been working hard distributing lots of interesting goods for a project called EKOCYCLE, a new brand created by Will.i.am and Coca-Cola featuring product from suits to 3D printers all made from recycled Coke bottles and cans. We have distributed this to Harrods who are running a European exclusive launch for 2015.
