The Date: Saturday 12th May 2007
The Location: Northampton Marriott Hotel - Eagle Drive, Northampton, UK
The Theme: Shaken, not stirred - a Bond night
The Price: £45 per person including all your evening's entertainment, dinner, and a drink on arrival.
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 a prize for the night's biggest winner).

The Ball: The MINI2 Charity Ball 2007 is the third annual ball organised in aid of good causes by a group of enthusiasts from MINI2.com. The Charity Ball is a unique event in the MINI enthusiasts' social calendar, a chance to don that smart evening wear gathering dust in your wardrobe (or treat yourself to something new) and dine, drink and dance. All in aid of a good cause!

For the first time, the MINI2 Charity Ball features a James Bond Theme. This means in addition to great company, food and music the 2007 Ball offers a casino and other Bondesque touches to add extra excitement to the festivities!

A formal dress code applies once more, but attendees are encouraged to have fun, and a little bond-age (careful) is encouraged when choosing your get-up for the evening.

The Charity: This years chosen charity 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 main menu.

The Venue: The MINI2 Charity Ball 2007 will be hosted by the Northampton Marriott Hotel, and promises to be our biggest, most exciting ball to date. The location is in the heart of the UK, and offers a fantastic venue and exceptional value.

We've listened to feedback, especially with regards location and price, and we believe this years event will offer the best value, and be the most enjoyable of all the MINI2 Charity Ball events, and that's saying something!

So far the MINI2 Charity Ball has raised over £9,000 for good causes, and this year we really hope, with your support, we can add as much to that tally as possible!

Your Tickets: Tickets for the ball can be purchased using cash, cheque, or purchased online using PayPal.
