The Mug Maker
Great to see one of our products featured on a SKY NEWS report. A feature on Milton Keynes, run throughout the day, ended with a lingering shot on our I LOVE MK Mug. A really good boost to our ego’s even if nobody knows we produced it - except you of course.
Supplied this week - Mugs for THE CITY OF NORWICH ATHLETIC CLUB, MAYOR OF NORWICH 5K race. Can’t show a picture yet as the run isn’t until next weekend and we don’t want to spoil the surprise.
Ranelagh Harriers organise the annual Richmond 10k run with over 650 particpants,
Mugworks have supplied the souvenir mug for each finisher ….
New in the Mugworks range are Coasters and Mouse Mats.
The coasters are good quality corked back - size 9cm square or round with a 9cm diameter.
Prices vary depending on numbers but to give an idea …
Including design, set up and delivery
No VAT - no other extras
So where’s the Mouse Mats ???????
We are giving no secrets away if we say our first commercial order was from an old friend of Whitbourne Mugworks, Rushden & Diamonds Football Club who came close to getting back their place in the Football League just a few days ago. But because it is so new, in fact not due for despatch until June 1st, the customer hasn’t seen it yet and it would be a little unfair to show the world before they see it.
Watch this space - or at least come back to the news page in a few days time ….
Our commiserations go to Mugworks customers GRIMSBY TOWN, AIRDRIE UNITED and GILLINGHAM both who suffered relegation this weekend - in Gillinghams case losing 3-0 but having the agony of going down only by goal difference as Exeter scored in the final minutes of their match to take them out of the relegation zone and plunge Gillingham into it.
Better news as COWDENBETH qualified for the promotion play-off final in Scotlands Division II and KILMARNOCK who drew 0-0 with Falkirk to save themselves and stay in the Premier League.
Airdrie United
Davenham Cricket Club in Cheshire, in their 125th anniversary season, were adventurous enough to try our new money banks alongside their new mug.
The result has been a set that not only celebrates their 125th year but is a great fund raiser for the Club.
And we are quite pleased with the design too.
A great opportunity for Mug Works was to design and produce a mug for Kimber Mills Forgings - an industrial firm based in the Black Country and Coventry.
We think the mug came out well as the contrast of moulton metal on the black background gave the mug a real punch.
New mugs for Barnsley Football Club didn’t do them a lot of good this weekend as they lost 6-1 at Newcastle United. Still the consolation is new mugs in the Club Shop this week.
However, the reverse at St James Park was made up for by The Blue Brazil - Cowdenbth FC who put six past local rivals East Fife. 
And we must congratulate GRIMSBY TOWN, who today have WON at last after a run of (I believe) 26 games without a victory - a Club record - with a 3-0 victory over Shrewsbury Town. Hopefully “The Mariners” who are one of Mugworks top customers in terms of volume, will be able to put a run together and get away from those relegation spots.
We’ve had a great little run making mugs for churches recently including the famous crooked spired Chesterfield Parish Church.
Below are some of our recent Chuch mugs
St James the Greater, Oaks in Charnwood
Chesterfield
Balerno Parish Church in Edinburgh
Christ Church in Stamford
and 
St Botolphs in Shepshed, Leicestershire
Any churches wanting a mug of its own please contact us.
Rugby Clubs in South East England have been busy buying mugs for their supporters. Brentwood, Hitchin, Harpenden, Teddington, Old Emanuel and Hertford have all been supplied this week.
The Home Counties is a strong rugby playing area where the Clubs have strong adult profile, with a good structure of mini and junior age groups giving rugby a long term future. Interesting that most of the Clubs also sport strong veterans teams too.
