Hi everyone
As you have probably all heard... andy has undergone surgery and now has a metal hip. Fingers crossed it leaves him pain free. Anything else is a bonus!
It will be long recovery process no matter what the outcome so I thought it would be nice to give him something to lift him...

Andy’s best moments... by the fans!

A book filled with our favourite memories of him! (Not a retirement book but a book full of positivity)

What I need from you guys... please can you message me or email me (at xenon.rulez@gmail.com) one paragraph of your favourite memories of him as well as a personal picture of him or with him (or of you supporting him) to include in the gift. I would like to get as many fans involved as possible

The deadline is SHORT! Next Monday: 4th February midnight! The aim is to try and get it published and sent to andy ASAP to give him a lift

Closer to the time once made, I may need some help editing or to help pay for the book. Please let me know if you are willing to help take part.

Get writing everyone! Let’s make this an epic and uplifting book!

You think? Rob would've let us know precisely as much as Andy wanted us to know. Rather like now.

I think we should be grateful for these good folk who rescued the Forum for us Andy Fans, I know I am, I wouldn't go anywhere else, plus they do their best to keep us in the loop about Andy & that will be when Andy is good & ready so no different to back then, so lets be grateful and to be honest thinking about it I haven't gave Rob a second thought since! Xenon will post when she is ready!!:wave:

Hi everyone
How are you? Thanks for everyone’s contributions to the Book of memories for andy! Been working on putting them all together and editing it. Took a bit of time as you can imagine. It’s 131 pages long! Here is a bit of a preview of the start of the book (will work on the front page). I hope you like it
I am hoping to try and get the book together this week, when I will find out the cost of the book. Then anyone who wants to help pay for the book can do so and if wish, any extra can go to Judy Murray Foundation or another of andy’s charities
I will also look into whether I can have the book for sale to fans, how much it costs and whether the money can go to charity

Thanks for all your help! And thank you Karen Mackay for your help with editing

Hi everyone! Exciting (hopefully) update about the memories book to be sent to Andy! The book is called “Murray’s Magic Moments... by your fans”. It is finished!!! A hard back book of 132 pages full of memories from his amazing fans!

The other exciting news is that I should be able to have it made available for you guys to buy (as requested)! The cost of the book will be £35 as well as the post and packaging. A few pounds of which will go to Judy Murray Foundation. Please be patient on this as I am figuring out the best way for them to receive the revenue and waiting to send out Andy’s copy too. It shouldn’t be too long though!

In the meanwhile, please check out the link for the copy of the book (I hope it works). And you can also see preview pages of the book if you click preview under the picture

Thanks everyone for your contributions, help and patience

my copy of the book has arrived and it's terrific, well worth the money. loads of pictures and as well as people writing about their favourite Andy moments they write about what Andy means to them, so it's a kind of double story book. I feel sure Andy will love it. well done Xenon, a great idea and following it through to produce a super book.

Bubblebee has received our book and it is very good. I still have the book from many (?) years ago which was also sent to Andy.

Hi everyone
We have sent £254 to Judy Murray foundation via judy’s kilt walk link (where 40% extra apparently goes to the charity). This money was from the revenue and funds from Murray’s Magic Moments. Thank you to everyone who contributed and bought a copy. Any revenues from future copies bought from now will be sent separately too! So plenty of time to still get your hands a copy from here
http://www.lulu.com/shop/andy-murray-fans/murrays-magic-moments-by-your-fans/hardcover/product-23999723.html

Judy and Judy Murray Foundation are very grateful for the donation and they send their thanks! The foundation is going to launch a new programme in May so good timing for the donation!

Hi everyone
As if today wasn’t awesome enough with Andy receiving his knighthood... some extra awesome news which made my day and hopefully will make some of your days
As you may remember, Sir Andy was sent a copy of Murray’s Magic Moments and he received the copy for his birthday!
To my delight, I received a photo of Andy with the book and a few words from him about the book
I hope you like it, that it makes you smile and make your day a bit! Enjoy!
