    Nuke The Leuk '05 - Lap 8

    By Guest, in Club Charities,

    Hi Folks

    The grand Carrotland Coin Collection has been completed. I have sorted, bagged, and counted the lot. Yesterday evening I handed it over to a Leukaemia Research Fund representative who lives in Ipswich.
    The final tally was:
    £111.45 in current British coins, counted and bagged 5.5 Kg approximate weight pre-decimal British coins (Value unknown but LRF can cash these in) 2.5 Kg approximate weight pre-Euro European coins (Value unknown but LRF can cash these in) 1 Book Co-op stamps (£1) 282 Air Miles tokens £14 in British £1 notes (Now obsolete but accepted by banks) £30 Travellers cheques $4 in New Zealand notes Qty 2 x 100 Yugoslavian Dinara notes (Not sure what they are worth!) The LRF was pleased to receive the donation and I would like to thank you all for your generosity.

    Blue Light Show 2005

    By Guest, in Club Charities,

    Norman Verona’s Blue Light Show 2005
     
    A huge thank you to everyone who turned out for the Blue Light Show. A magnificent result and it was great to be working alongside all those who gave up their weekend to be involved just for the fun of it. And it was a lot of fun and a good chance to talk to about stuff not involving widgets and sprockets, latest mods, twin overhead sumps and ali polishing for a change, although those intriguing topics did inevitably impinge! For a non-driving and hard work event it almost doesn’t get any better!
     
    None of it would have been possible but for the courage and stamina of Norman Verona (and Lynne’s endless sense of humour!) for spending what must have been an inordinate amount of time and effort involving a huge amount of patience coordinating efforts with all the other organisations involved in the event, and the endless list of kit required from hire companies for everything from fish slices to cones, from easy-ups to bottles of gas, from drinks coolers to tea urns, from marquees to refrigerated vans in which to store around 2 tonnes of beef burger ingredients! - and then organise a bunch of loony and somewhat overhung 7eners and friends to pull together to park the cars and feed the visitors. Nick Henstock again elicited support from Silver Spring who supplied all the mineral drinks free of charge which was a super gesture of goodwill and kindness - and crossed a big job from Norman’s list of things to-do as well as raising more money for Leukaemia Research Fund!
     
    First class effort Norman and team!
    (Tia, Leanne, Jack and Cameron are OK too! Or was it Bob, Ted, Carol and Alice?)

    Regalia...
    Dowlis are in the process of relocating their warehouse, consequently, regalia orders might not be fulfilled quite as quickly as usual.

    Keith Pickin, RIP

    By Guest, in Trackdays,

    It is with deep regret that we extend our deepest sorrow and condolences to Gill, Geoff and Steve for the untimely death of husband and Dad, Keith Pickin, as a result of asbestosis. The last year has been an absolute trial for all of them.
    Such was the dedication of the Pickin family though, it was business as usual at club trackdays.
    Many of you will know Keith, or will have spoken to or contacted him at club trackdays with Gill or to progress club membership, as Keith’s efforts in the club for club members has been huge; membership secretary duties; assisting Geoff with the organisation and running of Club track days; collecting and administering NtL donations for track day passenger rides. A kind, gentle and humorous man, Keith will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him.
    This is the first death in service of a management team member and a very sad time in the history of the club. Trackday passenger ride donations to NtL will now be referred to as the Keith Pickin Memorial Fund.

    Bionic MattyP's London Marathon

    By Guest, in Club Charities,

    Matthew Plummer London Marathon: http://www.justgiving.com/bionicmattyp Matt says:
    "The result is that I completed in a time of 4 hours 09 minutes 10 seconds. Very weary and hot! ran the final mile and a half under so much pain I don't want to be in that state again.
    The weather was against us being a lot hotter than the rain we expected & hoped for. We shall see if we can make it to £2000 when all comes in.
    Thanks again."
    Fantastic result Matt!!  The total so far pledged is now over £600 so there is plenty of room for more donations. Come on chaps, do your stuff!
