Sing your heart out for the Lad

Thursday 6 December marked Mitchell Group's first Christmas Carol event at Chester Cathedral. I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who came and to everyone who has sent in thank you letters and emails already. It is so encouraging for the team when we hear how much people where moved and enjoyed the event.

I'm sure everyone will join me in thanking Love and Joy Gospel Choir, Bishop Keith and Chris Duffett (The Light Project) for their input on the night, as well as the staff that help in front and behind the scenes.

Amazingly, we raised over £2300 for Ugandaid and The Light Project from the takings at the exits.  Thank you to everyone who contributed and please be assured that your money will find it's way safely to the charities.

Please feel free to leave comments below.  What would you like to see next year?!

Quentin Willson at Cheshire Oaks

Mitchell Group was delighted to support Cheshire Oaks Outlet Village in their first ever Motor Festival on the 16th and 17th of June.  Various car dealerships from the area participated by displaying their product ranges and answering questions to crowds of budding motor enthusiasts.

Television Presenter, Quentin Willson, was the star opening the show and commentating on cars being driven on two wheels, doughnuts and some spectacular parallel parking.  The man behind the wheel, professional stunt driver Russ Swift, performed tricks in a Mini and Mitsubishi Evo that defied physics and had crowds mesmerised.

Congratulations to the organisers at Cheshire Oaks for a fantastic event.

Open Road @ Thornton Manor

Thornton Manor in Thornton Hough, Wirral, was the venue for this years Open Road event with Lexus and true to form the day proved to be a big success.  With over 230 guests and more than 500 test drives in one day, it was a fantastic opportunity to experience the entire Lexus range.

The format for the day was to arrive and register attendance, a lanyard was then provided with the guests name and a bar code printed on to it.  A test drive desk was set up with a key board detailing which cars were available.  Sales specialists were on hand to help establish which cars would best suit and make appropriate recommendations.  After zapping each guest with a bar code reader, the sales specialists would direct to the car of their choice, ensure familiarisation of the controls and route and leave them to explore and drive the car unattended.

On return a customer would either take out their next choice of vehicle or alternatively explore the luxurious venue whilst enjoying the hospitality of Lexus Chester's appointed caterers who were serving Canapes and refreshments throughout the day.

A big thank you to all who helped make the day such a big success.

Skoda Fabia Launch - How it went...

WOW!!!

17 May 2007 marked the launch of the all new Skoda Fabia and true to form Mitchell Skoda pulled out all the stops to ensure their launch party was the biggest and best-attended in the UK.

Firstly a big thank you to all the customers who supported us at Peckforton Castle. We have been amazed at the number of families who decided to join us.  Another thank you is also due to all who have written in via email or post and confirmed we were not the only ones who enjoyed the evening!

Those of you who couldn't make it, please keep checking our website for all the latest updates on what we plan to do next.

Peckforton Castle is set on a hillside above the rolling Cheshire Plain, Britain's only intact medieval style castle.  Mitchell Skoda successfully packed the grounds with over a thousand guests, all customers who have benefited from the Mitchell experience. 

In the middle of a week of forecasted rain and cloud the sun broke through and provided a warm and sunny May evening.  Jesters, jugglers, fire eaters and jazz bands entertained the crowds while a hog roast was prepared to make sure no-one left hungry.  Ten new Skoda Fabias were on display along with various other models and 40 of the Cheshire Oaks and West Kirby team were on hand to ensure the night was as enjoyable as possible.

For hotel and restaurant bookings at Peckforton castle please call 01829 260 930 or visit their website at www.peckfortoncastle.co.uk.

We have over 200 pictures taken on the night and would like to take this opportunity to thank Maurice Grisenthwaite, Ian Southerin and Craig Strong for all the hard work done and the fantastic pictures you see on this page.

RX-8 ride-out day, April 2007

Mitchell Mazda are pleased to announce another successful and enjoyable day on our annual RX-8 ride-out day. Close to 25 owners and a navigator of their choice joined us to explore some breathtaking scenery in North Wales.

Starting from our Cheshire Oaks showrooms, we proceeded straight to The Leyland Arms in Ruthin for a coffee and pastry break whilst being entertained by David and Kelly, Landlords, of the the rural pub.  We then undertook some 40 miles of beautiful countryside over the hills of North Wales before dropping down to Lake Vyrnwy Hotel for lunch.

I have attached some pictures and would encourage anyone who joined us and took pictures to forward them to me at c.webb@mitchellgroup.co.uk.
