Posted by admin | Mini News | Monday 15 March 2010 3:10 am

GUILDFORD’S CLANDON PARK RUN
SATURDAY 24 APRIL 2010

Vines of Guildford are sponsoring this year’s Clandon Park Run on Saturday 24 April. This really is a day for all the family, with a 10K run for adults and a 4K run for juniors.

Runners will receive plenty of encouragement with live music, courtesy of the George Abbot School Swing Band. There’ll also be plenty of refreshments for those cheering from the sidelines!

This year, the run is raising money for the Mukidoma School in Tanzania, and Vines are proud to be sponsoring such a worthy cause.

All those attending the event will also have the opportunity to enter our prize draw to win a MINI for a weekend.  Make sure you come and say hello.  We’d love to see you.

More information about the event and details of how to reserve your place for the run can be found here>>>

Or come down to our Guildford showroom and pick up a leaflet.

COME AND JOIN OUR CONVOY TO PIAZZA ITALIA IN HORSHAM
SATURDAY 3 APRIL.

Once again, our Gatwick dealership is taking part in a weekend of fun with Piazza Italia in Horsham. Fantastic events will be taking place all weekend and Vines will be there on Saturday 3 April, ready to bring a bit of MINI
magic to the proceedings.

A JCW Clubman will take centre stage in the town centre to make sure you can’t miss us, as well as around 50 MINIs taking pride of place.

We’ll be holding one of our incredible competitions – the prize this year is a MINI convertible for a whole weekend, adventure guaranteed! We’ll also have loads of goodies for the weekend auction, raising money for this year’s charity The Chestnut Tree House hospice for terminally ill children.

Why not join our convoy from our dealership into Horsham and enjoy the fun with us, then back to ours for a pizza!

We will be meeting at the showroom mid-morning on Saturday 3 April (times to be confirmed).  In convoy we will cruise into Horsham, park up taking pride of place with MINI balloons of each of our cars, and then return to the dealership in convoy a couple of hours later.

If you would like to join our convoy please call 01293 575 557 to register.

We would love to have you with us!

Design Competition by MINI

Posted by admin | Mini News | Friday 12 March 2010 5:08 pm

MINI launches Product Design Competition.

In keeping with the brand’s “Creative Use of Space” philosophy, MINI is holding an international design competition to celebrate the launch of the MINI Countryman in suitable style. The competition invites creative people around the world to design potential tools for the unique MINI Centre Rail in the new MINI model.

The Centre Rail runs in a straight line between the seats of the Countryman, linking the front and rear of the interior, and offers a multifunctional platform on which to fix various travel items. Indeed, MINI has already come up with a range of clever attachments, such as sunglasses cases, cupholders, iPod docking stations and plenty more. The rail also offers handy stowage space in which to hide away charger leads for electronic devices like mobile phones and MP3 players. When it comes to using this new feature, creativity need know no bounds.

Taylans Project

Posted by admin | Mini News | Friday 12 March 2010 5:07 pm

Vines MINI

 

Last Friday (5 March), saw the staff at Vines don their best hats for ‘Wear a hat to work day’ to raise money for the brain tumour awareness charity, Taylan’s Project.

To show its support for Brain Tumour Awareness Month, all Vines staff across the seven dealerships were encouraged to wear a hat to work and donate £3 to Taylan’s Project. They managed to raise an impressive £714.66.

Fun was had throughout the day as staff enjoyed cakes and treats whilst enjoying their colleagues dressed in silly hats, and in full fancy dress in some cases.

To help increase the charity pot further, Vines are donating £1 per test drive taken throughout March and is encouraging drivers to come down and try out any car from the BMW or MINI ranges*.

Taylan’s Project was set up in 2009 to help raise money for the charity Brain Tumour Research, following the sad passing of 7 year old Taylan Rawlinson due to a rare and inoperable brain tumour.

Taylan’s Project is encouraging other companies to help raise much needed funds by organising their own events. Visit www.taylansproject.co.uk to find out how you can also raise funds. If you would like to make a donation in support, please visit www.justgiving.com/taylansproject
