Now that's what I call a nose, we have 6 million olfactory receptors, Barna has 240 million and can smell when his human's going to collapse unconscious. Read his story here:

Not good for the fans
It's not looking good here at Donington...due to the sheer amount of rain the track is currently undrivable 🌧️☔️
A track inspection at 10am will tell us more - stand by for updates

We have an incredible opportunity for one company to be our main event sponsor for the @NUHCharity Golf Day on 24 May.
Please email for further details of what’s included (including free team entries, PR opps and on the day promo/branding!):

@DoningtonParkUK why have more staff in the closed door section of Garage 39 than in the very busy with a big queue in Coffee Corner #ohdear
And serving the worst ever hot chocolate, looks and tastes more like water from the river Thames #garage39 #hotbrownwater
If there’s any #icecreamvans looking for a free pitch this afternoon, we have a free event @TheIronGiant_ near Awsworth/Ilkeston till 3pm. Access off A6096 Shilo Way, next to Naptha Kennels

Tune in to the Repair Lot this Sunday at 6pm @DaveTVChannel featuring Sporting Bears and the Thunderbird chair that was made for us and sold by @silverstoneauc with all the funds raised going to our supported children’s charities. A huge thank you to @shetalkscars and @AttaboyTV – at Richmond, London
The Bennerley Viaduct (aka The Iron Giant) looking magnificant in the evening light.
We need trustees and corporate friends to champion this amazing structure and the charity that is maintaining and developing it.

We do need volunteers, here's an idea of the opportunities available:
- Trustees (we are a charity)
- Gardeners (to maintain the naturescape)
- volunteer rangers - to keep an eye on things
- fund raisers
- social media writers
- tour guide leaders
- event helpers/organisers
There's always something happening at Bennerley Viaduct!
Could you be part of the team looking after the Iron Giant, helping us raise funds, and engaging people with our #heritage & stories?
We're looking for #volunteers! ❤️
Drop us a line: info@bennerleyviaduct.org.uk
It really is a place to visit, go on, give it a go. If you're lucky, you might even meet me there!!!! lnkd.in/eKgcsck5

Also popular this week in the @NUHCharity Hub are the double insulated water bottles, at just £15, they will keep your drinks icy cool all day. Perfect in this weather! 🥵
They come boxed too - maybe a nice Father’s Day gift, if you’ve left it a bit last minute? ❄️🧊
