THE YORKSHIRE AIR AMBULANCE OFFICIAL CHRISTMAS CARD!

This year our friends over at The Yorkshire Air Ambulance asked Bog Books Ltd if we would design their official Christmas Card and obviously we said 'YES! W'ed love to!'. We were very flattered and straight away went about producing a fantastic card for them.

Tim produced a fantastic illustration and Gary & Cheryl-ann designed the card and we were very happy with the final result and so were the YAA! Over the past year we have been helping raise funds for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance Charity with donations from the profits from "Yorkshire Pudding 'n' All That Tripe" and the Bog Books 'Map of Yorkshire'. With the book being all about Yorkshire what better place to donate to than the YAA, they do a marvellous job.

So with the new Christmas card illustrated and designed by the Bog Books team all profits go straight to the charity. Each pack of 10 cards costs £5 and you can buy them directly from the Yorkshire Air Ambulance Charity www.yaa.org.uk or us here at Bog Books Ltd.

This week we have delivered the second order of 5000 Christmas cards to Abby at The Yorkshire Air Ambulance as the first batch were such a massive hit and have sold out after only a few weeks!!

You can call 01751 475 002 or email Sarah on sales@bogbooksltd.co.uk for more information about the cards.

Here's Gary and Cheryl-ann (plus sleepy cat Delilah) folding and packing some of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance Christmas Cards with a mug of mulled wine and in front of a lovely log fire hidden away from the recent blizzards!! Tim and Sarah did a great job folding and bagging their half too!!

MALTON SHOW 2010

Hey there Bog Bookers! We had a great day out at the Malton Show on Sunday 18th July even if it did get a little hot in the marquee at times!

We got to show off our new banner (photo abouve taken on Gary's iPhone with arty farty effect!) and talk to lots of interesting people who had come to the show.


Gary had a bit of a walkabout in the afternoon to see what was going on and was loving the Alapaca's he found. They are such cute and funny looking things...they kind of look like they have an '80's perm and wolly troousers on, hilarious!

We are next going to be at the Rydale Show on Tuesday 27th July in Kirkbymoorside so come along and have a look at all the Bog Books bits and bobs we have on offer...see you there!

(MOUNTAIN BIKE) WORLD CUP FEVER!

So there's a lot happening in Yorkshire this weekend and Bog Books are in the thick of it as usual! The 2010 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup event being held at Dalby Forest from Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th April is where it's at this weekend! So to commemortate the event Tim Bulmer has penned a special Dalby Forest illustration (above) which has been reproduced as a limited edition giclee print which will be on sale over the weekend along with a range of other Bulmer illustrated Bog Books work.

With the Moutnain Bike World Cup it being a huge Yorkshire event we thought it would be a great opportunity to celebrate all things Yorkshire by doing a book signing for "Yorkshire Pudding 'n' All That Tripe" at Dalby this weekend, so come along and get your signed copy of the book and have a look at the selection of giclee prints we have on offer.

HAPPY YORKSHIRE PUDDING DAY!

With Valentines day coming up, us lot at Bog Books thought we'd spread the love for Yorkshire Pudding Day at Hovingham Market and had a great time!

The day started early with Sarah baking her little heart out to make a trayful of mini Yorkshire Puddings which not only looked amazing but were soooooooo tasty! We offered them to everybody who stopped to talk to us and look at the book and they went down a storm. Sarah filled the mini puds with sliced beef and horseradish and pastrami and mayo...mmm!


It was a successful day all round and we enjoyed ourselves again and raised some more cash for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance through sales of "Yorkshire Pudding 'n' All That Tripe" and prints from the book. Have a look here for more about the prints and the Bog Books 'Map of Yorkshire' www.bogbooksltd.co.uk

BOOK SIGNING AT GIFTED IN BOSTON SPA WENT SWIMMINGLY!

On Thursday 27th November from 2.00pm until 8.00pm Tim Bulmer was signing copies of "Yorkshire Pudding 'n' All That Tripe" at the wonderful Gifted in Boston Spa.

The whole Bog Books team would like to thank the wonderful Ruth Hill and Judith Crossley ably assissted by Sue for organising the signing and of course promoting the book in such a fantastic way, we're glad you love the book so much!

It was a lovely afternoon full of Fizz accompanied by smoked salmon...what stress! If you were there, thanks for buying your Bog Book and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it!

Tim and Sarah arrived to a great pile of preordered books to sign then kept sigining until 8.00 at night and also Tim had lots of fun adding personal inscriptions on the large giclee prints of the Bog Books "Map of Yorkshire" - You can purchase your own signed copy on our website. Tim said "It was quite a struggle but we had a laugh and nothing was damaged in the process!"

Lots of Christmas shopping was done as not only was Tim there with the wonderful Bog Books but Gifted is packed full of fun, original and inspiring gifts so why not check out their website for some special Christmas ideas - www.giftedbostonspa.co.uk

HALLOWEEN BOOK SIGNING AT DRACULA'S PLACE!

On Saturday 31st of October the Bog Books Team decended onto the seaside town of Whitby to do a speacial Halloween Bog Book Signing at the Whitby Visitor Centre.

We thought as there is a page in the 'Yorkshire Pudding 'n' All That Tripe' book dedicated to Whitby featuring an illustration of the vampire legend Count Dracula that it would be ideal to do a Halloween book signing and it went down a Treat! (No Trick!). In Bram Stoker's 1897 Gothic novel 'Dracula' a Russian ship called Demeter ran ashore in Whitby during a fierce storm with Dracula on it.

With every copy sold we were entering people into a prize draw to win a large signed Giclee print of the Bog Books 'Map of Yorkshire'. The prize draw winner will be announced on Tuesday 3rd November.

We would like to thank everyone who came and supported us and bought their signed copy of the book, we hope you enjoy it (if you do tell a friend or two!)

BULMER! WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOODLING ON THAT PIECE OF PAPER BOY!!

Artist Tim Bulmer caught not paying attention in class!

The final day of the Bog Books launch at War Weekend in Pickering was just as good as the two previous ones with the town still buzzing with excitement. Everyone was in good sprits considering there was a War on! Some people were coming back to buy more Bog Books as presents for friends and family for Christmas and others were discovering us for the first time.

We have all had great fun over the past three days and would like to thank everyone who came in to have a look at what we were doing. We would especially like to thank every single person who bought a Bog Book this weekend whether it was for themselves or another...we hope you have as much fun reading it as we did writing, illustrating, designing and selling it!

Another massive thanks goes to everyone involved from our side of the counter this weekend...here goes...

Tim Bulmer, Sarah Bulmer, Josie & Becky, Gary Davies, Cheryl-ann Taylor & Baby Lennon, Kate Miller, Maxine Taylor & Lucas Taylor and of course Abby McClymont from the Yorkshire Air Ambulance for bringing lots of YAA freebies for you all to enjoy. Also, author of Yorkshire Pudding 'n' All That Tripe, Ian Bowie, was there in spirit as he is in Finland at the moment.

So there we have it, the end of a very successful launch for Bog Books, see you all soon!

GREENGRASS GIVES BOG BOOKS THE THUMBS UP!

Now then, these Bog Books look great lad!

With so many people dressed up in 1940's clothing this weekend is was a bit bizarre to bump into a character from the 1960's tv series Heartbeat, the wheeler dealer known as Claude Greengrass! (Well he's actually a lookalike but he does look like him a lot!) We showed Greengrass "Yorkshire Pudding 'n' All That Tripe" and he loved it! A true Yorkshireman we thinks!!

The day went really well, even better than the Friday actaully which was amazing. We opened at 9.00am and there were people waiting to come in, it was fantastic. The word had obviously been well spread that we were in town and people flocked to the shop all day to get their Tim Bulmer signed Bog Books and prints.

The parade was excellent too, so many people in costume making their way down the market place right past The Ginger Pig shop was a real sight. We had a great vantage point from the upstairs window and took loads of photos, some of which we've attached below.

So, after a hectic two days we are looking forward to the final day of the Bog Books shop at The Ginger Pig. So come on down and get your signed books while you can...see you there!

BOG BOOKS LAUNCH GOES WITH A BANG!

Roll up! Roll up! Get yer luvverly Bog Books here!

So today was the day, we finally launched Bog Books at the War Weekend in Pickering and it went down a storm! We opened the doors at 10.00am and still had people in the shop buying books at 8.00pm which is phenomenal! We are so pleased that the books have been recieved with the humour that was intended. It's very encouraging too after all the hard work we have put in to see people walking out of the shop with they lovely brand new 'hot off the press' Bog Books signed by Tim Bulmer and a huge smile on their faces! We had a thoroughly good time today and are looking forward to the rest of the weekend and what it may bring.

A huge thanks must go to Abby McClymont of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance who came all the way to Pickering to help us today and give away lots of YAA freebies. We are very proud to be affiliated with the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and are looking forward to giving over our first cheque to them for the first round of sales of Yorkshire Pudding 'n' All That Tripe.

A very tiring but immensly satisfying day had by Team Bog Books!

THE FIRST EVER BOG BOOK HAS ARRIVED!

Hot off the Press!

Hooray! We made a trip to the printers last week to see "Yorkshire Pudding 'n' All That Tripe" - the first ever Bog Book - come hot off the press. Firstly we had to oversee the printout of the front cover and check the colours were all correct as we had used a Pantone Metallic Gold colour. Guess what? It looked absolutely brilliant if we do say so ourselves!

We then went back a few days later to see the first three books that had been put together to sign off the quality of the assembly and again, a marvellous job was done! It was great to actually hold a copy of the book after all our hard work over the past six months...it was like holding your child for the first time...something which Gary and Cheryl-ann had done the week before for real with the first Bog Books Baby, Lennon!

So the remainder of the books are being assembled and boxed up ready for distribution and we can't wait...the suspense is killing us! We're so excited to be bringing our new book to the world next week...keep your eyes peeled!
