FUNDRAISERS from Mercia Minis raked in more than £15K for Worcester's St Richard's Hospice by raffling off a restored Mini Cooper.
The family-friendly group, based at the Bluebell Inn pub, in Upton Road, Callow End, held the charity drive in memory of two members Barb Stephen and Steve Ash, who both recently lost their lives to cancer.
Mick Rowley, of Mercia Minis, who also runs the Mini Cooper Register Worcestershire region, said: "Sadly we lost two of our members to cancer, so Barb's husband, one of the members, donated a classic Mini and it was fully restored by club members.
"We also had help from local Mini spares and a lot more suppliers, including Bromsgrove Engine Services and Mini Mail."
The draw was held at the Malvern Festival of Transport on the Sunday, October 8 and cheque for £15,620,46 was presented to St Richards Hospice Worcester on the Sunday, October 15.
The winner lives in the West Midlands.
The group meets every Monday evening. For more information visit Facebook/MerciaMinisMalvern.
