Hello! Magazine

Posted by Concept2 News on the 11th of August 2001

The humble Concept 2 Indoor Rower finally made its entrance into high society this month. After years of growing up in a house with an outside toilet, we've finally got to hob with the nobs, and it's all thanks to racing driver Eddie Irvine, our own 'enry 'iggins. Plastered amongst various minor European royals and actors, this month's Hello! magazine features a big spread on Irvine, both at home and at play, including possibly the coolest ever shot of an Indoor Rower, as Irvine casually pulls a couple of strokes on the back of his power boat parked somewhere in the Med. Now, rather than just a simple puff piece to show off that we're in Hello! (no, seriously), what we actually want is to see if anybody can match, or even top, that picture. If you've got a photo of you rowing on a Jamaican beach, up a Himalayan mountain, just outside the Rings of Neptune or by Milton Keynes' concrete cows, then make sure you send it in. Any we receive will be posted on the web site in a special section called Odd or Exotic Places People Have Rowed An Indoor Rower (title subject to change). There's no time limit on this 'competition' and all entrants will earn a special Indoor Rowing badge (like a Blue Peter badge, but non-existent). Send digital photos to webmaster@therowingcompany.com and old school style photographs to: Photo CompetitionConcept 2Vermont HouseNott'm Sth and Wilford Ind Est.NottinghamNG11 7HQOh, and two of these Indoor Rowing badges go to reader Iain Cowell for bringing this to our attention. We're not totally sure we believe his assertion that I didn't buy Hello! myself....it was on the coffee table and I couldn't help seeing some of the contents! but we figure we'll let him off just this once.
