Why
Binky . . . .
Many
of you have asked why we are called Binky Crafts so here
is the story behind the name . . .
Binky
was actually the nickname of Nina's father, Brian, given
to him by his work mates at BP / Mobil Oil. Nobody outside
of his work was aware of the name until he retired. We
had arranged to pick him up after the party given at BP
where we saw lots of posters wishing "good luck Binky"
so the secret was out after over 30 years ! After retiring,
Binky moved to Gozo and a couple of years later we started
to plan to follow to open our craft business. In planning
the business we had to think of a name and were looking
for something that would be easy to remember and we quickly
decided on Binky Crafts with Binky’s permission of course. Sadly,
just before we moved out to Gozo we found out that Brian
had cancer and regrettably, we lost him in may 2005.
This
made the choice of name even more important to us and
by coincidence we have found his real name in our logo,
so he really is with us every day.

Butty
on the Run !
Binky's
son and Nina's brother, Butty (Glenn Butler), is running for
charity to help cancer research, something we are all very keen
to help with so with that in mind . . . PLEASE
have a look at this site: http://www.justgiving.com/glennbutler
and give it some thought, it would be great if we could all
dig deep an give Butty some extra support for the BUPA Great
South Run in Portsmouth, England on 28th of October 2007.
Thank you very much for looking.
Tony and Nina. . . . Binky Crafts.
