Ace Cafe Italian Job Charity Night 2009

Mini 50 News 

2009 is a very special year for the Mini as in August we will be celebrating the Mini's 50th Birthday.  The focus of the celebrations will be the combined International Mini Meeting and Mini 50 show in Cofton Park, Birmingham, right opposite Longbridge, birthplace of the Mini 50 years beforehand.

Birmingham Mini Owners Club, organisers of the IMM/Mini 50 show, asked Mini Bandits if we would organise an auction for the IMM in aid of the charity of our choice. For the past six years we have organised the Ace Cafe Italian Job Charity Night in aid of The Italian Job supported charities. Whilst the idea of being involved with Mini 50 really appealed, we did not feel we could organise two charity auctions in one year, and we could not drop the Ace Cafe night, because we all love the Ace, and have had a tremendous amount of support from Owner Mark Wilsmore over the years. 

Having discussed this with Mark, we have come up with an even better solution. The IMM can't come to the Ace Cafe, so the Ace Cafe are planning to be at Birmingham instead.  The Ace Cafe frequently get involved with motoring events, e.g. setting up displays at events such as the Race Retro Show, so in a similar way we will be recreating The Ace Cafe at the IMM/Mini 50 and holding our Ace Cafe Italian Job Charity Night there.

More news as it comes, both here and on the IMM 2009/Mini 50 website.

We are hoping to have some fantastic items up for auction to mark this special event,   including a car  (subject to us getting enough support from traders sponsoring the parts/labour we need).  If any traders would like to talk to us about this project please email ace@minibandits.com.
