Anyone want to start talking about meeting places and convoy pick-ups?? :) It would be best for me if I can join on with the north west lot at Keele services maybe, saves doing a detour to knutsford too...

Anyone heading down from East Anglia??

If you're not there by 8.15 I'm going to Sainsbury's for breakfast :D ;) :p

Hyia :D

Just a reminder (though I know you all know) that the meeting place is The Longwall Beefeater at 11.30-11.45am - not the factory. :D
I'll be setting off about 8.30am - to make sure that I get there in plenty of time :D So will see you there.

NEWSFLASH
The British Mini Club have asked me to take some picci's of tomorrow, so that it could possibly be an article in their members magazine Minibility.

P.s. I have telephoned the pub, to make sure that the booking is still on for tomorrow, and.........
OF COURSE IT IS!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D

Seperate tables though, as couldn't get one table for 30 people!! ;)

I'm meeting "L13 Cooper" at Sutton Scotney for 10:30 (A34 Northbound just south of A303) - see a few of you are coming along the M4 to the A34. Chievely services is right on that junction - anyone else want to meet up for a Mini Mini convoy? Say 11am?

It's about 25 miles straight up the A34 from there then......

PM me or reply to this message - I'll check this eve and tomorrow morning before I leave (expect to leave home about 10) to see if we need to stop there.

Ok, I won't be online after 5pm tonight (though I'll try & hijack boyf's computer 2nite). If anyone needs to get in touch my mobile no. is 07876 761254.

SEE YOU TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!

RIGHT-Red Un (Rick) has had to pull out-So there is 1 Space left for tomorrow now.
PM me or reply to this thread if any 1 is interested.

Thanks

Oh well, if anyone sees this and wants to come, i will treat you to lunch..... just be in Cowley at 11.30!!

Thanks for an excellent day Helen. Shame about the weather...

Ditto - nice one Helen.

Now get the piccies on line everyone 'cos I forgot to take my camera!

Hyia :D
Got back around half past six - had a lurvley bacon & egg sarnie waiting for me :)
It was a great day, it was great meeting everyone and putting names to faces & also meeting up with MINI2'ers I haven't seen for a while (well.....since September :)).
Can't beleive there are picci's online already, I'll post mine tomorrow & if anyone wants copies PM me and I'll e-mail them to you.

We also raised some extra donations for Whizz Kidz, so a BIG thank you from the guys at BMW & Whizz Kidz. Also, nice to see that there is a MINI shop in the Info Centre now..... pity Mom's credit card doesn't agree with me ;)

I hope everyone enjoyed the lunch (if you didn't have the red wine chicken, you missed a treat). I don't think that we could have got nearer the factory if we'd tried!!
A big thanks to everyone who turned up :D & to the guys who missed it, you missed a good one - you must go on the next tour.

Also a special mention to Kerrie & Phil and Brian & Amanda who made the trip from Australia and USA respectivley. I hope you had a good day & enjoy the rest of your stay in England :D

Helen xxxxxxx
(P.s. Kerrie & Phil - Thanks 4 the pressie :D)
