    As you will see if you look at the Nuke the Leuk page, there will be no more Nokia logos from Chris Mintoft!
    A sad day indeed. Chris says “The software I use to send the logos has moved on and has mucked up the formatting of the logos I am sending.  The demand has tailed right off with the advent of phones with proper images as wallpaper so I think it is time to call it a day for the Nokia Logos.”
    I am sure everyone will join me in thanking Chris for his efforts over the years, not just for the considerable amount of money raised for NtL but for the enrichment to our 7 lives the logos brought to those who have them.
    I would also like to wish Chris and family all the very best with the new venture that no doubt is consuming much capital so anyone who would like to help please buy one. They are also available for wedding parties etc and corporate events. http://www.SmallClassicCar.co.uk

    Freedom

    By Guest, in Club Charities,

    /Portals/0/Galleries/Nuke%20the%20Leuk/freedom2.jpg
    Well I think it is about time club members got something back for all their hard work and efforts. You will remember Chris Rea donated the original on the beach Freedom painting to the club to raise money for LRF a year ago and we passed the painting to LRF for safe keeping while we thought about its disposal. (See October and November 2004 issues of Low Flying). It had been intended to auction the painting at LRF’s celebrity fund raising dinner earlier this year but for one reason and another it was felt that it may not raise enough money to do justice to Chris’s kind gift.
    There have been lots of discussions over the months about a sale through EBay or via Pop and Rock or Motoring memorabilia auction houses between us and LRF and club members who have either rung me about the projects progress or who responded to my original plea for help, but quite frankly none of the ideas offered us much in the way of inspiration.
    So back to the beginning; Chris is a club member and a 7 fan, the painting is that of a 7 and pretty much evokes the feelings why many of us bought a 7 in the first place. Then it struck me that the painting has more relevance for club members than a collector looking for the next investment and it would really be the icing on the cake if a club member ended up owning the painting.
    An auction is out as it favours the few but a raffle is likely to raise as much money if not more and every ticket has exactly the same chance of being pulled out as any other ticket.
    The plan then is to distribute a book of 5 x £5 raffle tickets in an issue of Low Flying (Date to be determined). It is planned that money and stubs will be returned directly to LRF for administration and for them to draw the winning ticket 3 months later - then every club member can buy tickets, including me!
    The club has kindly offered to fund the printing of the raffle tickets and there will be spare books I will hold and distribute on demand for those wishing to buy more. We intend to print 20,000 tickets and with an expected take up of around 10% the raffle should return around £10,000 for LRF - which coincidentally is the approximate valuation put on the painting by Ian Fernley’s publishers.
    The raffle will be a private raffle and therefore only members will be eligible to win the painting.
    Seems like win, win all round to me!
