Just like the Italian Job, members of the North Devon Mini Register have
pulled off another heist. In a daring raid on Little Bridge House, the
Children’s Hospice SW, they overpowered 2 fluffy guard dogs and the
bouncer, a giant fluffy Panda and made off with an undisclosed amount of
boxes containing Children’s Hospice Teddies.
A spokesman from the political side of the Mini Register said that there
was no truth to the rumour that it took six Register members to overpower
the giant Panda. It took 4 and they are all receiving treatment at the
North Devon District Hospital.
There have been whispers that the Teddies want to do their bit and have
been set free to spread the word about the “Big Babes Appeal” for
the new Children’s Hospice being built in Somerset.
Terry Baker the spokesman for the political side of the Mini Register
denies knowing the whereabouts of the Children's Hospice Teddies. After
coughing up a number of fur balls, he claimed his 2 black eyes and injured
arm were the result of walking into a lamppost.
“I do not know where these Teddies are, cough, cough, but at
last they have been set free. I’ve heard that there is a whole
underground resistance movement helping them. We have had reports that
they are appearing up
and down the country, mainly in Mini's and on the back of motorbikes.
We have
also heard that a few brave Teddies have made their way even further
afield and the pictures are coming in fast. I only wish I knew how they
got where
they are.
So should you see one of them wish them luck and take a picture, tell
them we are all recovering from our ordeal and now it’s all up to them”.

You may have noticed that over the past 4 or 5 months there has been an
unusual silence on the Teddies Great Escape. The pictures have stopped coming
in and the last report we had was a postcard from one of the Teddies in September.
The message on the back of a postcard read
"We need help, we are being picked up one by one and returned
to the CHSW. They know where we are because of the photos."
 This
is a the picture of the brave teddy who sent us the postcard just before
they put the cuffs on him.
We have been hearing rumours for some time now, but they
were only rumours, so we decided to send in one of our own teddies, to work
deep under cover at the CHSW. Once inside he had the run of the Hospice but
it took him sometime to find out what was happening. This is his report:
I knew once I had accepted the mission and the tape self destructed I
was on my own. This job I did for free, as me and the Teddies were old
friends and we have had some good nights together and woken up with the
same headache. For weeks I kept my ear to the ground and my back to the
wall and I was just another teddy. Then one day, out of the blue, I caught
the end of a conversation and it mentioned about the bin cupboard and what
were they going to do with all the old returned teddies that had been scribbled
on. None of the other toys or teddies wanted to talk about the bin cupboard.
That was until I took a bottle of whiskey to one of the older fluffy toys
and he told me that it was the place where they put all the damaged toys
until they decide what to do with them. I was taken to the cupboard by
the drunken fluffy panda who nearly set the alarm off by hitting his head
on it. I saw the teddies looking very sorry for themselves and then I saw
the photos and the scribbles. They were not scribbles but signatures and
the photos where pictures of themselves with some very famous people. I
called a meeting of the CHSW escape committee and it was decided that we
would once again try a set these teddies free. Only this time we would
get the children to help.
There are pictures of many teddies
that have been signed by famous people in the Photo gallery...

On Saturday 2nd September the Brewers Fayre chain of pubs are joining together
with 100’s of Mini’s from all over the South West to celebrate 10 years of
the Children’s Hospice SW. The day will start at 7.00 am sharp, when a small
group of Mini’s set off from Barum Gate in Barnstaple to visit all 13 Brewers
Fayre pubs in the South West in 13 hours.
The day promises to be full of surprises, entertainment and a bit of nostalgia
as each of the pubs across the SW from the O’Bridge in Taunton, Somerset,
down to the Loggans Moor in Hayle, Cornwall and the Mini’s try to raise money
for the CHSW.
The Mini’s will be there on show and there will be a trophy for best Mini
in fancy dress.
SO PLEASE COME ALONG AND HELP US CELEBRATE 10 YEARS OF THE CHSW
