"The sun had his hat on to ensure 6Five2s&amp;#8217; sixth annual &amp;#8216;fun run&amp;#8217; from Mansfield to Skegness was a red hot success.More than 400 children and their parents and guardians were given a free day-trip to the seaside thanks to the taxi company, assisted by coach firms McEwen&amp;#8217;s Travel and Skills.&lt;strong&gt;Between them, they laid on 40 taxis and mini buses and four coaches without charge to transport families who attend children&amp;#8217;s centres across the Mansfield area to the Lincolnshire coast.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Centres included in the big day out were Mansfield Woodhouse, Titchfield and Oakham, Warsop and Meden Vale, Shirebrook, Oaktree, Bellamy, Ravensdale, Forest Town, Ladybrook and Pleasley.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;#8220;It was an absolutely fantastic day that went without hitch and the fantastic weather we had really topped it off,&amp;#8221; said organiser Barry Answer.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;#8220;It meant the kids could get out and play on the beach - and they really loved it.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;#8220;For some of these kids, this may be their only holiday of the year and the looks on their faces made all the hard work setting it up worthwhile.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;#8220;I know John Davis, the owner of 6five2s, is passionate about the town and loves to see kids having fun, which motivates him to do this.&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The day of fun started off when Mansfield Superbowl opened at 7.30am to give the children a free game.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;After the journey to Skegness, the youngsters all received free fish and chips from Simpson&amp;#8217;s or Flippers Restaurant and an ice cream from Simon and Danny Wall&amp;#8217;s Ice Cream.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;They were also given entry to a play centre thanks to Jango&amp;#8217;s, a donkey ride courtesy of Chris Epton&amp;#8217;s Donkey Rides and vouchers to access The Original Crazy Golf for just &amp;#163;1.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;East Lindsey Council helped out with cut-price parking and other businesses in the Mansfield area to lend their support were AFHI Ltd, Glenn&amp;#8217;s Tyres and Dave&amp;#8217;s Test Station.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;John McEwen, general manager of McEwen&amp;#8217;s, added: &amp;#8220;We were delighted to support the 6five2s on this. It&amp;#8217;s a great way for the coach travel industry to give back to the community, and it&amp;#8217;s wonderful seeing the families enjoying such a great day.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;#8220;The &amp;#8216;fun run&amp;#8217; is just one of a range of local community projects and charities that we support as an organisation, but our drivers have also volunteered their own time for free, so our thanks go to them.&amp;#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
