To be honest, a night away in a hotel is probably a bit to expensive for me at the moment too (even if it is a cheap hotel).
One idea that has been bounced about a couple of times is a weekend away in the Lake District, maybe involve the other regions too? This is one for the better weather, but would be great fun if people are up for it? All those lovely country roads and bacon sandwiches cooked in the fresh air.. can't be beaten in my book

Also the May national ClubMINI2 meet at Alton Towers can't be far away now? We could be VERY busy with our MINIs at this rate.
