Hey All, >_<

As some of you know I have been volunteering with the Sparkle Appeal in Newport for A few weeks now and they have come up with the Idea of a Classic Mini and New MINI Treasure Hunt, with the sponsorship of the Newport MINI dealership.
http://www.sytnernew...acy_policy.html
Which I am helping to Organise.

The Sparkle appeal raises money for disabled children within Newport and the surrounding areas, providing help and support for parents and fun for the children.
http://www.sparkleappeal.org/

Currently we are guaging interest for this event, so if you are interested please let me know :thumbsup:
The entry fee is £10 per car (with your passenger free of charge) with ALL profits going towards the Sparkle Appeal.

For your £10 you get entry into the Treasure Hunt with the chance of winning the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes (to be confirmed as soon as we have sorted these)
Also we will be having a number of other competitions such as:
- Guess how many balls in the mini
- Guess the Treasure Hunt Milage
- Mini Push

We will also arrange a Show and Shine for those who want to enter with a prize for the best Classic Minis and a Prize for the best new MINI.

The Treasure Hunt will take Place on Sunday 27th September (meeting place still to be confirmed) at around 10am, with the finishing time being 1 o'clock and ending at Tredegar Park Car park where "Its a knock out" will be taking place.
This is where the competitions and Shonw & Shine will then take place.

It will be an all day event and should be really good :P
So remember to bring your Pennies :P

We are looking for around 250 Classic and New Minis to be able to raise the desired amount for the children who are part of the Sparkle Appeal.

This event is not just open to clubs so please if you know any other Mini enthusiasts please let them know :P

If you need any further information please email me on [email protected]

We are in the process of finalising some details and getting a poster and flyers designed so will post them as soon as they are done.
Entry forms can be emailed or posted to interested parties so please email for more information :)

Thanks for reading Guys, Hope to see you there :thumbsup:

This sounds like a fantastic idea. I have no idea where Newport is but I'm guessing it's too far away for me to join in but I hope you get lots of interest and raise plenty of money!

Hey Everyone, Another update for you :wub:

We now have the entry forms all done and confirmed so I’ve included one as an attachment along with this post for you to download and print of and send back to us.

Once we have received the form along with your choice of payment we will be sending you out a confirmation letter which you will then need to bring along to the event to redeem for your entry window plaque and hunt questions.

Also, as mentioned previously, the Hunt itself will be ending at the “It’s a Knockout” event. Where there are still places available to enter as a team. Mini Clubs are encouraged to enter.

If you have any trouble downloading any of these or would like an entry form for “It’s a Knockout” then please contact me on [email protected] titling your message “Mini Mayhem Treasure Hunt” and I will get them both emailed along to you.

If you PM me with your email address i can also send one to you that way aswell :o

Thanks for Reading Guys.
Please do spread the word as this is a very Worthy Cause.

Hope to see you all there :thumbsup:
