SQL Relay Swag from Red Gate

Another day, another parcel...
This time an intriguing small box from Red Gate.

I could tell it was from Red Gate.. the red box, the Red Gate logo.. all clues..

Inside...
Two Red Gate t-shirts and two Red Gate pens.

So two lucky people are going to get Red Gate t-shirts at the next Southampton SQL Server User Group.
