I spoke with a couple of FLAME members just last weekend and both said the the Spring Fling is the only activity FLAME does each year and both members said they liked the idea of having a club that was more active and did more meets and other activites each year.

As far as insurance goes, don't let that worry you. Insurance for 'static' events is only like $150 a year and all we would have to do is form a non-profit group and take a policy out. Once we have a nonprofit group it will require officers, budgets, dues, etc. So some folks will be spending time on it. As with most clubs or groups there will be a core group of members that do most of the work and organization and right now that's what we are looking for, that 'core' group. If you would like to be a part of that, then speak up.

I think the Spring Fling might be a good meeting place. I know some members (Holly, Bruce, and a few others) will be attending. I will be on a cruise that week but I can forward all my ideas and other stuff to Holly so she has it available. Lets us know what you think MINI Florida folks.

Once last thing, don't get turned off by the idea of an 'official' MINI club. I was a member for several years of a Miata 'official' club and we had great fun and events. The club will reflect what the members put into it, keep that in mind.
