> 
> This year, National liftshare Day is taking place on 9th June. So be
> sure you are part of this huge event by carsharing on the day!
> 
> We were delighted with the success of NLSD last year; the impact of
> the day has grown consistently year on year and we've been amazed by
> the dramatic increase in awareness of carsharing over the last few
> years. Please help us to make this year better than ever by sharing
> your journey and encouraging others to give it a try. Find out more
> about how you can get involved by going to

> 
> As petrol prices rise, liftshare members save 50 million miles
> As you are probably only too aware, petrol prices are at an all time
> high - but we just wanted to assure you that the news isn't all bad.
> As a result of the recent high prices, carsharing is now more popular
> than ever and across the UK liftshare network there are now an
> estimated 50 MILLION MILES being shared each year! If you are still
> looking for a match, your chances are better than ever. Please do help
> your friends, family and colleagues to save themselves money on fuel
> too, by encouraging them to sign up - Tell a Friend.
> 
> 
> Could you be a media star?!
> As carsharing grows in popularity, the media contact us increasingly
> often. And usually they also want to speak to a regular carsharer or
> two, to get their personal views. We would like to build up a list of
> members who'd be happy to share their experiences. These media
> "interviews" tend to be very brief and simple, but are a great
> opportunity to spread the word. If you would be willing to chat to a
> reporter about why you carshare (and you have no professional
> restrictions preventing you from being a media case study) we would be
> grateful if you could email your name, telephone number (daytime and
> eve) and where you live (town / county) to media at liftshare.com - also
> specifying which media you would be happy to do (newspaper, radio, tv)
> and whether you do anything other than carshare (e.g. our BikeBUDi,
> TaxiBUDi or WalkBUDi). Be assured that we will always check with you
> first before putting a reporter in touch with you and we would be very
> happy to chat it through with you in advance. Thank you! 
> 
> 
> liftshare wins a Queen's Award
> liftshare.com Ltd has recently been awarded one of the UK's most
> prestigious awards for business performance - the Queen's Award for
> Innovation. Thank you for all your support and feedback which has
> helped to make our service what it is.
> 
> Photo Competition extended! - you could win an iPod
> In our last newsletter we asked you to send in any good photos of you
> and your travel companions which you would be happy for liftshare to
> use to encourage more people to travel sustainably. As the weather has
> been pretty dismal until now we've decided to extend the deadline to
> 30th June 2008. The member who sends us the most imaginative /
> aspirational photo will receive a personalised iPod. Send your photos
> to us at photocompetition at liftshare.com.
> 
> 
> Please keep us updated
> It is very important that information we have on you and your journey
> requirements remains up to date. Therefore please take a moment to
> revisit your account and spend five minutes:
> 
>       * updating your contact details; 
>       * updating your journey details; 
>       * running a search for a new match.
> 
> Keeping your details up to date will prevent you from being contacted
> by unsuitable matches and will significantly increase your chances of
> finding someone to share with.
> 
> Enjoy National liftshare Day!
