The Bar Harbor/Maine event will be run separate from MOT this year. Please visit this link http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=79262 if you want to participate in the Bar Harbor Invasion. You will meet up with the main MOT contingent on Saturday June 18, 2005 in Lincoln, NH at the LoonMountain parking lot.

MOT is limited to 200 vehicles on the Mount Washington Auto Road. More MINIs may attend but only 200 can make the drive to the summit. As things develop we may find that some folks do not want to drive up and places can be swapped. If this happens it will be handled directly with me or Ian on an as needed basis.

MOT has secured a hospitality room at the Town and Country Inn, Gorham. The Greenery Room (near the pool) will be open for your convenience from 3 p.m. Friday June 17 until 10:30 a.m. Sunday, June 19. Stop in and have a cold one (BYOB to add to the ice chest); make arrangements for get-togethers (drives, breakfasts, golf, activities); pay your respects to MOT volunteers; hang out; chat and trade insults, participate in the MOT MINI Trivia Competition, etc. Munchies provided by MINIs On Top.

**If you have Pre-Registered for MOT you will receive an Official Registration Form (Adobe Acrobat 7.0) via email in the second week of February, 2005. All registrations are first come, first served. Based on Pre-Registrants in excess of 230 we expect the event to fill up quickly. This year’s form auto-calculates the total amount due so there shouldn’t be any mistakes. The registration costs are totally non-profit. Prices of the Auto Road; MOT Dinner; and event vinyl clings are at cost. T-shirts are sold above cost. T-shirt profits provide for name tags, printing costs, hospitality room, goody bag memento and general operating costs.

There is an added mandatory $5-per vehicle shipping/handling charge in the registration this year. The $5 covers the cost to mail your car numbers, meal tickets, goody bag, t-shirts, vinyl clings, printed route, vendor information, area maps, etc. You will receive your packet via USPS Priority Mail about two weeks prior to the event.

The following is a list of MOT Departmental Leaders. Please contact them directly for information in their respective categories. If you are able to volunteer in any category please contact that person directly. Please do not use this forum to ask general questions.
