Sorry for any inconvenience caused and we hope to see you all next Tuesday at the Rolls Royce Sports and Social Club (weather permitting of course).

Notts About Mini’s

For those wishing to participate in this run please get in touch with NAM Andy and let him know !

Please click here for further information.

We are hoping to calculate the total amount of money raised for Hayward House at the earliest possible opportunity in order to organise a date for the cheque presentation. We therefore kindly ask for all sponsorship money and donations to be handed in by the next club meeting on Tuesday 28th September 2010 which will be held at the Rolls Royce sports and social club in Hucknall.

If for any reason you are unable to do so then please get in touch with our club secretary Julie Easter at nottsaboutminis@yahoo.co.uk or alternatively ring on 07773958725. We understand that it is not always possible to collect all donations at such short notice but it would be appreciated if you could try.

Once again, Thank You and well done to every one that helped make the day a success. Overall it was a great team effort so well done everyone!

This moves us nicely onto a reminder about this years charity run that is set to take place on Sunday September 19th 2010. The run has been planned to start at The Nottingham Knight Public House car park located on the A52 near Ruddington. We will be meeting at 9.30 am for a prompt 10.00 am start. The run will  end up at the Little John Public House in Ravenshead for a barbecue, weather permitting of course !

Most of us are aware that the money raised from fund raising events goes a long way towards helping establishments such as Hayward House to continue their excellent work. We are therefore hoping to match or beat the total of £820 that was raised from last years run. It’s set to be a great day out in aid of a worthy cause !

NAM would like to thank those who have already pledged to participate in this event.

The club is pleased to announce that it will be holding this years annual Christmas dinner at The Little John Inn (Ravenshead) at 2.00 pm on the 19th December 2010. For those wishing to attend this years meal  a non refundable deposit of £5 per head needs to be made payable to Ian Clipson or our club secretary Julie Easter by 1st November 2010. The full price of the three course meal will be £12.95 per Adult and £8.50 per Child.

The menu for the Christmas meal is as follows:

Starters

• Chef’s Homemade Tomato & Basil soup served with a Bread Roll and Butter
• Lightly Battered King Prawns with a Sweet Chilli Dip
• Mushrooms cooked in Garlic & Parsley Butter served with Warm Crusty Bread
• Fig & Goats Cheese Parcels served on a Bed of Mixed Leaves

Mains

• Mushroom & Mixed Pepper Stroganoff served with Rice

Desserts

• Traditional Christmas pudding with Brandy Sauce or Custard
• Lemon Roulade served with Ice Cream
• Chef’s Homemade Bread & Butter Pudding served with Custard

It looks delicious !

By the time the cheque was presented to Hayward House on 14th November 2009, a grand total of £820 had been raised. This couldn’t have been achieved without the generous donations received from our club members, friends, family and members of the public. We can’t thank you all enough.

Eagerly awaiting this years run, the club are hoping to build upon last years success to once again raise money for such a good cause. It is therefore our pleasure to announce that this years charity run will take place on September 19th. Those wishing to participate in the run will meet at the Nottingham Knight pub on the A52, near Ruddington, at 9.30 a.m. More details of the run will be finalised and provided shortly so make sure you keep checking back.

Although this run is planned by Nott’s About Minis it is open to all Mini enthusiasts, friends and family. Spread the word and get them onboard through either sponsorship or getting them to meet us on route. Every little helps ! A minimum donation of £10 per car through either personal donation or sponsorship will be required for those wishing to attend the run, regardless of how many passengers attend.

Sponsorship forms are now available for collection from the Nott’s About Minis Secretary at any of our upcoming meetings or events for those wishing to get sponsors for the run. Alternatively we can post one to you upon request. Remember, the minimum amount of £10 can be made through either personal donation or sponsorship! Both would be fantastic but not compulsory.

We hope this event will once again raise a substantial amount of money for Hayward House Nottingham to allow them to continue their excellent work. For those wishing to attend this event, that have not already registered their interest, please contact our charity events organiser Marcus Harris at nottsaboutminis@yahoo.co.uk or click here to use our contact form.

If there any Minis clubs that would like to come and join us on the run please don’t hesitate to get in contact.

NAM would like to thank those who have already pledged to participate in this event.
