The 2'007 MINI2 Charity Ball will be taking place at the Northampton Marriott Hotel, on Saturday 12th May 2'007
The new Charity Ball website can be found at this link - MINI2 Charity Ball 2007
As well as providing you with all the information you need to know about the Charity Ball 2'007 the new website also provides you with a simple opportunity to register and pay for tickets electronically via PayPal - you can of course still pay by cash or cheque if you prefer.
Tickets are limited to 174 only so to be sure of joining the biggest and best MINI party of 2'007 get yourself and friends registered now!!
Tickets Remaining: 5 
I will run a reserve listing in case we have some folks needing to cancel so if you want just a chance to join the fun then get your name down
The 2'007 Charity Ball will have an added bonus with a James Bond theme - included in your ticket price will be a fun casino featuring Roulette and Black Jack tables and other Bondesque touches to add extra excitement to the festivities- including a prize for the person who wins the most money during the evening!
The hotel has a large secure barrier controlled car park, borders the Delapre Golf Course, includes a pool, gym and spa and is of a relaxing comtemporary design.
The venue is both ideally suited for UK attendees being centrally located in the Midlands, with the M1 motorway just 2 miles away, and for International attendees with Birmingham, Luton, East Midland and Heathrow Airports all within about an hours drive.
For more information about the Marriott Hotel please follow this link Northampton Marriott Hotel Hotel specials, rates and availability in Northampton
We are delighted to announce that already Wollaston MINI and New MINI Stuff have continued their generous support for this annual event and will be Event Sponsors for 2'007
This will be the 3rd MINI2 Charity Ball and we have previously raised over £10,000 for worthy causes - we are hoping for a record amount to be raised this year. Our nominated charity for the 2'007 Ball is Marie Curie Cancer Care, who employ more than 2,700 nurses, doctors and other healthcare professionals, providing care to around 25,000 people with cancer every year, along with support for their families. For more details on Marie Curie and what they do, click "The Charity" link from the Charity Ball website, or follow this link Welcome to Marie Curie Cancer Care
Ticket Price
The cost of the 2'007 Ball ticket will be £45. A minimum deposit of £15 per ticket is required to secure your booking.
This will include the cost of all the evening’s entertainment, a welcome drink and your meal but exclude your drinks bill and accommodation. It will also include a voucher for $100 that can be exchanged for poker chips at the Casino.
As we have to commit in advance to the hotel on numbers we are unable to offer refunds after 1st Februay 2007.
Want a bulk buy? Well if you book a table of 12 you can get a free place. Sound good? Well it is and it's really simple to get it, you provide a list of twelve names, make a single payment of £495 and save yourself £45. Yep, round up 11 friends and YOU can go free
The Gamble
This year as an added bonus your ticket will include $100 voucher that can be exchanged for poker chips at our Casino night - try your hand at the Roulette Wheel, or beat the dealer at Black Jack. Are you as cool as Bond at the gambling tables! This is a "funny money" casino, no cash prizes (but there will be something special for the night's biggest winner).
