Huge success for Caloo at Saltex 2010

2010-09-14T13:54:00.000-07:00

After spending 3 days on Windsor racecourse last week, we survived the tropical rainstorms and low visitor numbers on day 1, to complete this annual event with a flurry of activity on Wednesday and Thursday and conclude the exhibition with a very satisfying level of new enquiries and new business.

Our admin team are now busy completing the huge volume of quotation requests and we are delighted to confirm that we have booked our space to return for Saltex 2011.

We were delighted to receive such positive comments from visitors in relation to the specification and quality of our outdoor fitness equipment, outdoor table tennis tables and new mini golf and look forward to working with customers old and new on a wide range of projects in the coming months.

Playbuilder Funding

We did hear some positive news for those customers who were counting on Playbuilder funding for their project. We hear that the Waste Recycling Environmental Group - WREN, are working with Authorities to safeguard some of the funding for up to 35 of these projects.

Caloo achieves a first in Scotland - Lottery Award Provides New Equipment

2010-07-27T06:37:00.001-07:00

PUPILS returning to a Carnoustie primary school after the October holidays will be in for a treat thanks to a £10,000 National Lottery Award.
Burnside Primary School, which secured the extra funding through their pupil council, has used the money to buy specialised playground equipment, which aims to improve children's fitness in a fun way.

The colourful equipment, made by English-based company Caloo is carbon neutral and is powered by the pupils' own body weight.

This means the children are exercising whilst they are playing and Burnside will be the first primary school in Scotland to install this type of equipment.

The pupil council, along with assistant head Jackie Goodwin, secured the funding for the project from the National Lottery so pupils at the school can develop and maintain active lifestyles.

Nine pieces of equipment in total will be installed and Pauline Lockhart from the school's parent council commented on how pleased they were about the school taking delivery of this new play equipment.

Mrs Lockhart said: "I think I can safely say we are really proud of the pupil council and Mrs Goodwin's efforts in securing the Lottery Award which enabled us to purchase this equipment.

"We look forward to seeing it in use and are delighted to be the first school in Scotland to have it."

The equipment is being installed during the holidays and should be ready to use when the children return to school.

Cam residents get active with Caloo

2010-07-27T06:27:00.000-07:00

NEW Outdoor Fitness Equipment has been fitted by Caloo in Cam, Gloucestershire to help encourage the local community to develop and maintain active lifestyles. The recent installation contained 8 exercise units positioned informally within an existing park environment.

Parish Clerk Sue Hanman said, “Cam Parish Council has been extremely pleased with its collaboration with Caloo in the installation of its 'Outdoor Gym'. From first enquiry to installation and beyond, the Company has been extremely helpful and supportive. The installation team arrived on time and completed their work very quickly and efficiently. Now in place, the equipment looks attractive and sturdy and has already been the subject of some excellent feedback from the community - from children participating in the play programme at the field where the equipment is, to 'mature' dog walkers who have enjoyed it whilst walking in the area. Even I, by no means a fitness freak, have had a go and thoroughly enjoyed the experience!”

Caloo Outdoor Fitness Equipment is designed to create open use, FREE access, outdoor fitness facilities to benefit the whole community. With resistance offered from user weight, these carbon neutral, human powered units are environmentally friendly and great fun. With many different activities within the range, communities can choose items that encourage fitness activities or those to aid rehabilitation or recovery after illness or injury.
