I unfortunately have just been informed that Mick sadly passed away at 7.30pm this evening, it was peaceful and he was in no pain.

I am in contact with his family who have asked for time and space to deal with this news.

I will post details of the funeral arrangements when they are know.

Mick - You were a total total legend and like a second Dad to me, I will never forget the impact you have had on my life.

GP Mick - Taken from us far to early, but NEVER EVER forgotten.

As some people will know GP Mick was in my opinion EVERYTHING the UK MINI Scene stands for and he will be VERY sadly missed by me as he will be by all of us.

Hi All,

Following a detailed review of the Team's role I am sad to annouce that Paul Steven's a.k.a. shakerstevens is leaving the team. Everyone who has been around the club for a while will know that we all owe a great deal to Paul, it was him just telling me to do it, that led to the formation of the club you are all a part of today. Paul also championed and created the monthly NMC newsletter idea and successfully drove this area of the club's membership offering until recently.

I would like to place on record mine and the club's gratituide to Paul for his support past, present and future. Paul you are a true gent, a total legend and a great friend.

Daniel Gatesd, a.k.a. Gatesy's Angel is stepping down from his role as Membership Co-ordinator to take up the new role of "Nottinghamshire Area Rep", a role that has been identified as being critical to the future expansion of the club. All team members would like to thank Dan for his work on the membership front which has seen a doubling of membership inside 12 months. We wish Dan well in his new role.

Clio a.k.a. CRE-84 will be taking up some of Dan's old role and looking at club communications with new members, I (Deano) will be acting as interim Membership Co-ordinator in the mean time.

Chris Williams - a.k.a. Cooper_d will take full control of NMC News with help from other members of the team and Paul's help.

So in summary the new structure is

Deano - Chairman, Sponsorship Officer, Merchandise Officer

Tony - Head of NMC Events Team
Sonia - Staffordshire Area Rep and Member of NMC Events Team
Dan - Nottinghamshire Area Rep and Member of NMC Events Team
Dave - Member of NMC Events Team

Deano - PR & Modern MINI Representative
Clio - NMC Membership & New Members Officer
Chris - NMC News Editor

I'm sure you will join me in wishing everyone all the best in their roles.

Regards,

Deano
Chairman
Nottinghamshire MINI Club
