Frantic search for two students by Voluntary PR/Media Agency for Leics ends as two ideals come forward to save the day, after responding to a last minute newspaper article for the LOROS fund-raiser tonight. Due to a last minute student drop-out, a frantic search was launched for two students-male and female, over the age of 18; to be confirmed by the time the dreaded date of Friday 13th August was here. With just 48 hours to go for the most chilling "Reality TV Documentary" since Big Brother 5, set to be filmed-in the Harborough Theatre, as well as being a Fund-raiser for Leics Hospice - LOROS. Entitled "I'm a Scared Student….Get Me Out Of Here…Cause It's Haunted!" it is set for Friday 13th to Saturday 14th August-(7.30pm-7.30am), official confirmation was made by the SSCOM-Group (Simon Shiekh Communications Group - a Voluntary PR/Media Agency for Leics/Rutland) by 10pm-Thursday evening,12th August. Being a resurrection of an event, 10 years on, of which it's Founder/MD (Ayaz Sheikh-33) organised and took part in, when he was a student at a Leicester College, Ayaz was under intense pressure to find two suitable students. "This has been a harrowing week for me, but I was determined to win this battle of finding someone quick, and I'm now pleased and relieved. We were facing a race against time to find two students-interested in the paranormal and also willing to help us in a "Blair Witch Project" style experiment, which will be part of the 12 hour lock up, with other relevant contributions on the paranormal theme. We have found the perfect choice in two ideal candidates, namely, Nick Phillips (19, from Narborough, Leics), and his best friend, Leanne Battista (19, from Lutterworth, Leics). We have managed to convince them of a "surreal" experience and nothing to worry about, but to help us make a "gripping" piece for our documentary, of which they are very excited about, indeed!," he said. Nick added by saying that, "Leanne and I were looking for new jobs, when we stumbled upon this article and thought - is it for real? We had the courage of our convictions and decided to go for it. When we learnt from SSCOM-Group that we had been selected (we were made to sweat for 4 hours yesterday, as we were researching information set by SSCOM-Group), we both couldn't believe it. It's unreal for me, but I think it'll sink in soon" Leanne said, "This is totally unbelievable, to be the actual focus of the "I'm a Scared Student" theme, is really out of this world, especially as to what we've been told could lie ahead as a result of this! I'm looking forward to it, immensely". Ayaz adds further by, "I decided to organise a similar event, but this time in a fascinating venue in the midst of Market Harborough town itself, of which I’m looking forward to immensely! It's been a roller coaster of a ride in conceiving the resurrection, and actually arriving at event itself that I believe is set to be a very interesting project/documentary, of which SSCOM-Group hope to get on terrestrial TV, with an hour long programme. I've got an interesting team, and am lucky to have taken on the services for FREE of a Spectrologist, who studies the paranormal as a hobby, namely Andrew Wright (49 from Leicester), he has been acquainted with both Nick and Leanne, after they were confirmed as the student participants. The other participant comes from Desborough, Northants, namely Carol Slark (55). She is fascinated by the paranormal, and decided to take part from a well known franchise company; also managing to raise £237 sponsorship, but hopefully more as time progresses." As we were also in the process of negotiating with an ex reality TV star, hoping to join us for a couple of hours for the recording, she now cannot do so, but will be keeping in touch via SSCOM-Group, for future consideration, but wishes us good luck. Spectrologist, Andrew will also help SSCOM-Group to film a "gripping" show, which also hopes to spring a few surprises. "I was told by a colleague of mine about SSCOM.GROUP's article, so I enquired and here I am. We also hope to stem an exclusive piece about this-which could be a real coup for all concerned, as it's set to create quite a bit of interest in the long run, watch this space!", says Andrew. Carol added, "We're looking forward to a surreal experience, but am glad that SSCOM-Group has managed to get a spectrologist/parapsychologist such as Andrew, only 2 weeks to go from the event. We're more comfortable that an expert is with us, in case we do see anything, as we would both be petrified if we did. We wonder what the others might say about it, you'll be the first to know!" Local MP, Edward Garnier said, "I am delighted to give my support to the LOROS fund raising event at Market Harborough Theatre organised by Ayaz Sheikh and the SSCOM-Group. Having been to the LOROS Hospice on the Groby Road, Leicester, I am only too well aware of the valuable work that the LOROS medical staff and volunteers do to alleviate the suffering of those with life-threatening diseases. They get no help from the Government even though they are helping reduce the burden on the NHS, so every penny they need has to come from donations from the public. This event will go some way to help LOROS in raising some much needed money and I trust it will be a great success." As of 4pm this afternoon, Ayaz, Nick and Leanne will be in Market Harborough, to meet locals in the street and collect for LOROS, we will be filming locals selected for the film, before the rest of the team, and Senior Fund-raiser of LOROS-Adrian Walker, meet up with the whole team. Local radio "live" link ups are planned, as it's hoped the people of Leics can be "gripped" by the whole episode. However, one "extra" place is also up for grabs to join us, and we anticipate that the person will take part, not for the 12 hours, if he/she doesn't wish to do so, but can leave earlier, and we hope to find him/her this afternoon, right in Market Harborough itself. We are offering people the chance to text SSCOM-Group on the night (07817 057 078) and send their messages for the TV show recording (please make it "spooky"!), or check out our Website: www.sscom-group.com to see who's taking part (officially), we would welcome any comments. Plus we hope to post news of our "experience" and more pics soon. If you would like to contact me about this press release, then
