All Invited to “Myrtle The Mini’s” Cast Off Party
On Friday 3rd February 2012 at 6pm “Myrtle the Mini” will begin her epic 2500 mile journey from Ide, Devon, England to Rome, Italy.
Myrtle was completely refurbished in the Summer of 2011 and is a 1988 Mini 998c and is now fully MOT'd and road ready for her trip to Italy in Feb 2012.
On the evening of Friday the 3rd Feb 2012, Exeter based Wessex RFC President and Devon Rugby Society Referee Nigel “Isambard” Gooding will be setting off with a co-pilot Jenna “Hackers” Hackworthy for the overnight Plymouth to Roscoff ferry starting the 2500 miles round trip.
The aim of the trip is to drive Myrtle, Nigel’s classic mini from the Poachers Inn in Ide to Rome and back supporting England Rugby in their Six Nations match with Italy whilst raising money.
England Rugby’s mascot Pete Cross this weekend endorsed Devon's Rugby’s attempt to raise money for Exeter based charity Exeter Leukaemia Fund (ELF) and Rugby’s own charity Woodenspoon.
Nigel nicknamed Wing Commander Isambard said today “Pete Cross is a English Rugby legend and we are supporting two great causes and having a lot of fun... local businesses have sponsored Myrtle including servicing, accommodation and ferry crossings so 100% of the cash raised will go to the two great charities.. we still have some corporate sponsor opportunities available and logo space on Myrtle...and of course the text donation service and the just giving pages.
Myrtle leaves the Poachers Inn, Ide, EX2 9RW at 1915 on Friday 3rd Feb 2012 all are welcome.
The total collected for the Myrtle Mini charity trip at 1700 hours on Thursday 26th Jan 2012 stands at 1441.29. This includes the 212 pounds raised by the PoachersInn bucket, the 882.04 plus 59.25 gift aid on the Myrtle Mini website and 500 pounds from Radmore and Tucker.
