It has been a busy week for mug sales. Jan, Helen, Julie, Heather & Harry had an excellent day at Tescos Kidsgrove on Sunday and sold 40 mugs. Kate Cartwright and Kelly Barber spent Thursday at the Dougie Mac Golf Day at Trentham Golf Club, selling 36 mugs. We have also had new supporters take our mugs this week. Makro, Bentley Motors, who have taken 100, and Mercedes of Stoke. Paul Robson (pictured), from Pressure Cast Service visited the factory on Thursday and purchased 20 mugs.

We are aiming for a very large total by the end of next week, with lots of events going on. We will be at the Dougie Mac Ruby Bike Ride on Sunday 19th May cheering on our team of 10 & selling the Dougie Mac mugs. Special mention to Matt Lindop who is riding 110 miles to Llangollen in the bike ride and then on Thursday, early morning, running his 10 miles of the relay, amazing effort!!

The major event in our fundraising calendar , the Tea Cup Relay, starts at 8.00pm on Tues 21st May with the cup being produced, the first of our 39 runners will leave the factory at 6.00am on Wednesday 22nd May arriving in our showroom the following afternoon after 205 miles. Come along and support if you are up early enough!

Whilst the runners are having fun out & about along the route we thought that we would hold a series of exciting events throughout the week.

Tuesday will be quiz day - Quiz Sheets available from Kristina or Heather.

Wednesday Afternoon tea will be served - in the traditional way of course!

Thursday is BINGO day, 1.00pm in the canteen - bingo cards will be sold during the week

Friday will be School Uniform Day - so pull out your best efforts, and make sure those ties are done up properly!!

Throughout the week, employees will also be collecting donations from the Regent Theatre prior to the evening performances of the Rocky Horror Show.

We can't thank each and everyone of you enough for all the donations, sponsors, mug purchases, fundraising ideas and time you have given to the challenge. Here's to a fun week next week, keep up the good work!
