Beach Break Live go a slaying on Dragons Den
And indeed the beasts were slain: It were nuts. Without doubt the most surreal experience imaginable... Check out Celia's reaction when we won the money and the Dragons stand up..... "Oh my god, f**king hell you're massive"
paste this link to watch the episode www.beachbreaklive.com/holding/media/dragons_den.wmv
Anyhow, we pulled a Uey and said no thanks to the cash money from the Dragons to partner with Outgoing.co.uk a Student Travel and Events specialist.
Fear not, it will not go to our heads, we'll be keeping our values of community high and keeping our impact on the environment low.
