On the 16th December 2006, Warren a veteran of nearly 20 years with the Old Colfeians RFC 1st XV - suffered a stroke during a first team match. The stroke has seriously inhibited his right hand side and speech. Whilst he has made good initial progress at Kings Hospital, he is shortly to return home where his rehabilitation will continue for the next 18 months to 2 years. Warren and his partner, Samantha, have a two year old son and sickness pay from his employers will end shortly meaning his family will then be reliant on social security. As a result Old Colfeians RFC has opened a fund to help support his treatment and family during this time.

Contributions from events such as a City Lunch and Auction and donations from outside the club - for example from the Front Row Union Club (ex international front row players) - have been hugely important and gratefully received by Warren and his family. If you would like to make a donation that will make a huge difference to Warrens life, please send your contribution to:

KnowledgeCenter are delighted to announce the sponsorship of Debbie Bennett, a racing driver who has spent this year driving a Caterham 7 in the Formula Woman Championship. Next season she will be driving in the Ginetta Championship which supports Formula 3 and receives considerable media and TV coverage. KnowledgeCenter sponsored Debbie for part of her 2007 season and will continue to support her in 2008. KnowledgeCenter's sponsorship leads off a "slip" which will be promoted around the market for other companies to subscribe and sponsor Debbie for next season. Various sponsorship packages are available including company logos on the car and hospitality.

Debbie had a successful season in Formula Woman which organises an all-female national competition, designed to attract women into motorsport and to find & develop up-and-coming female racing talent. The competition is based on a tough selection process so only the very best drivers secure a place in the top 16 who then go on to participate in the Championship series. The series is a great success with rounds held at the major circuits including Brands Hatch and Silverstone. The ultimate aim of Formula Woman is to highlight talented women drivers, who will then go on to race in a mixed-sex environment. Nikki Welsby, the 2006 Formula Woman Champion, will this year race in the Elf Renault Clio Cup (as a support feature to British Touring Cars). Debbie has completed the 2007 Championship and will be moving up a level to race in a mixed-sex Ginetta Championship next year. Debbie is the daughter of Bob Bennett IT manager at CNA Europe, who is a well known and familiar figure in IT circles in the London Market.
