Mansfield Woodhouse Christmas Parade and Market tomorrow :-)



I have Just been giving Scarlett a quick wash down before her job on Saturday when she will be towing old Santa Claus through Mansfield Woodhouse on his way to the Christmas Fair at Turner Hall.

There is a rumour that someone special may be driving Scarlett on this special mission...here is a clue:

Rearrange these letters into a famous drivers name.....G I T S ?.....(Think "Top Gear") :-)

I just hope that it doesn't rain like it did last year...made my Antlers droop something rotten ! :-)

Ho Ho Ho !

Many thanks to the CHAD newspaper.....NOT!

Can I just say a big thank you to the CHAD (Mansfield Chronicle Advertiser) for confirming yet again that causes such as the 2 Anthony Nolan Clinics that are taking place next week, are less important than Mrs Browns cat being stuck up a tree, or the picture of a pile of old tyres !.
Nice to know that after months of planning my local paper bothered to promote the event without a picture, in the side box of a column, and all said, was summed up in 12-14 lines of text.

Perhaps in order to get these people to take anything seriously and find an article regarding sourcing potential life savers newsworthy i must paint myself green, play loud music and drive the Scirocco around the town square..maybe then the story would make at least page 10 !

WHY DO I BOTHER ?

*STOP PRESS*

On a more constructive note, can I just say a big thank you to a lady called Sue Harries at West Nott's College who proved to be a much more useful source of potential donor recruitment due to her upbeat and positive attitude that she exhibited when I contacted her ref publicising our event to the students at the college.

Sue = 1 CHAD = 0
