Nottinghamshire Motorcycle Charity Easter Egg Run 2010

-
Once again it's that time of year when the shops are all full of chocolatey goodness and bunny shaped sugary delights. Feel like you couldn't face another Easter of overdosing on sugar? Well, help is at hand. On March 28th it's the Nottinghamshire Motorcycle Charity Easter Egg Run. Why not donate all those eggs that you couldn't possibly eat yourself, and let them go to to a better home. The eggs are collected and distributed to disadvantaged children across the region.

If you wish to donate money simply send a cheque to Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue service payable to 'Easter Egg Run'. All money collected will go towards providing day trips for disadvantaged children and children with special needs in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Leicestershire.

Last year over a thousand bikes took part on the run and over 2300 eggs were collected. Over £1,000 was also raised on the day and with the help of local businesses, supermarkets and other donations over £5,000 was raised in total.

The run leaves the Forest (the Goose Fair site) at 10am so aim to get there from 9.30am. It will travel down the A60 to the Mansfield Fire and Rescue station.

The Nissan Cube – thinking outside the box

Love it hate it, there's no denying that the Nissan Cube will certainly get you noticed on the road. With it's Manga style looks and unique asymmetrical style it's certainly a quirky design. It's been described (rather harshly) as a "fridge on wheels", a "bonsai minivan" and a "Brinks Mat van that went into a boil wash"... First launched in Japan over ten years ago, the Cube immediately achieved a cult status and was adopted by the stylish, underground and urban set - the ‘denso’, carefree in spirit, unique in mind. It was intended to appeal to young people passionate about being individual and as a lifestyle choice, more than a car. It has gained a huge cult following within the creative sector with appearances in fashion, magazines, video and commercials, and online. The Cube was even voted one of the 50 cars that changed the world by the London Design Museum. Until now the Cube was only available in the UK as an import. To ret

Stamp of approval for great Design

The Royal Mail focuses again on the design industry, this time focusing on the world’s most iconic British design work of the 20th Century. The stamps were 'carefully seleced' by a panel of experts from the world of design. There are 10 special stamps: the spitfire, mini skirt, mini car, anglepoise lamp, concorde, phone box, Robin Day polyprop chair, Penguin paperback, London Underground map and the Routemaster. Looking at the ones that didn't make the final cut, it makes you proud to be involved in the UK design industry – the harrier, Britain is still a formidable force in the design industry, especially when you consider how small we are compared to the size and might of other countries. Britain still manages to create design classics today in just about every industry, from fashion to food, advertising to automotive, textiles to telecoms. Get those flags flying!
