Racing Cars, Speed and Networking!
The recent Monster Networking event, Thursday 8th July at Fraser Browns Solicitors in Nottingham was great fun for us. Well, mainly for me as I set the fastest lap time on the Scalextric Challenge course set up by Jim Cowan of Cowan Global Events.
My lap was the fastest on the night at 30 seconds dead but it wasn't fast enough to knock AJ Hall of Arnold off the top of the oveall leader board with an amazing time of 27.09.
Raising over £400 on the night in aid of 'Help for Heroes', this was an excellent way to network and have fun at the same time, we heartily recommend it.
PNDesign are proud to be corporate sponsors of the Scalextric Challenge. Check out their website for the current Leader Board and more information about a Scalextric Challenge event near you.
Out and About

We have recently attended three great events that proved inspirational as well as entertaining.
First was Apprentice Night at Latino's restaurant in Beeston, a fundraising evening in aid of Rainbows Hospice with three of the contestants from TV's Apprentice show - winner Yasmina Siadatan (shown here in conversation with our Vivienne) and runners up James McQuillan and Howard Ebison.
Charismatic Des Coleman - local BBC Weather presenter, was the MC for the night and held a lively auction. The evening raised just over £5,000 for the various charities represented.
Doug Richards' Worst Mistakes
Nottingham's Business School at the Djanogly International Centre hosted an evening with Doug Richards (who you may know from the first series of Dragons' Den). Doug talked (ranted!) about his 'Most Embarrassing Mistakes'. I wonder how many of us would have that kind of courage! His talk (rant!) was extremely entertaining and inspiring at the same time.
Where food meets fashion
Viv organised a small ladies luncheon and fashion show at 'Signature' restaurant and boutique in West Bridgford in aid of the charity S.H.E. UK (Survivors Helping Each Other). Forty seven guests helped her raise £650 and much needed awareness for the charity.
Giant Egg Winner!

Our Easter competition last month created a lot of interest from you all, so commiserations to the unsuccessful entries.
The answer to the weight of the world's largest chocolate Easter egg is a whopping 1950kg (or at least it was at the time of writing!)
It was Rachael Newman, a fundraiser at the charity CP Sport who was the lucky winner of the giant handmade egg from Chocolate Utopia.
CP Sport is the sports organisation for people with cerebral palsy, providing sporting opportunities to individuals of all ages and at all levels from recreational right through to paralympic competition.
"I am having trouble keeping the staff from eating this beautiful egg because I think it will raise us a lot of money in a raffle or maybe an auction." said Rachael. "Thank you Paul."
