I know this has been mentioned in the NSW Motor Sport Topic but as we still need numbers to make it happen i thought i would give it its own thread.

On 8 December from 4.30pm clubMINI is holding a twilight track event at Eastern Creek. all you need is a car (MINI not essential) a helmet (available for hire if needed) and a fist full of dollars.

This will follow our previous and well liked formats, arrive anytime from 4.30pm at Eastern Creek, there will be professional drivers from Driving Solutions on hand to accompany you around the track to show you the right lines. The group is usually split into two, more experienced and less experienced, and each group gets 20 mins on and 20 mins off up to approx 8.15pm. This equates to heaps of track time. The fee is $220 for clubMINI members and $240 for non members (each driver). and includes a light meal and drinks for dinner at the track.

We have 13 starters thus far but need 20 to make sure we get this price and i need to confirm with Eastern Creek by 24 November, so if anyone else wishes to join us on 8 December please email me at events@nsw.clubmini.com.au or PM me via MINI2

Also, as mentioned elsewhere clubMINI is having a Christmas get together this Sunday 19 November in the park between Rowland Reserve and the tennis courts on Pittwater road Bayview between 10am and 12 Noon, there are gas BBQ's at the park and lots of meter parking and some free on street parking. No need to register, just turn up, we expect quite a few MINI's so it should be a good chance for some optic nerving and a social catch up. All MINI owners are invited, members or not. Rather than a secret santa or similar we are asking those who wish to, to contribute a small cash donation to the club's charity drive which is raising money for the Cystic Fribrosis appeal. Please note, this is a saparate event from the annual Pirates secret santa day details of which are listed under its own topic heading on MINI2

Sadly I can't make the track day. However i would just like to say thanks for raising money for Cystic Fibrosis. I have lost a very close friend to CF, and have 3 other close friends that live with the disease, one of them having had a double lung transplant. This is very close to my heart and I would like to make a donation, Vic if I can't make it to the BBQ (us texers are having a BBQ on the same day) I'll be in touch to get the money to you.

The damage that CF lungs have can't normally be reversed, but normally decline further. One of my friends recently finished a new trial drug. After being on the new drug she had a lung function test, she's only ever had a lung function of 70%, after being on the new drug she had a capacity of 75%. As you can imagine this is a pretty big thing, fantastic news & she was so happy. So the $$$ are helping.

Cheers
Paul

Vic, I'm very keen for the twilight event, as you can imagine, but probably can't make it unfortunately. Working the last month on love job, at work, hasn't really made my boss too keen at short notice time off.

The minigolfs are 50/50 for the Xmas party this weekend too. Hope we can make it though.

The minigolfs will be coming to the clubMINI Xmas party on Sunday, although we have a few errands to run and might be a bit late. So if you see an Indi Blue MINI looking a bit lost, that'll be us.

Don't forget your pink shirt, it wouldn't be the same without it.

My work travel schedule is always changing and makes my life very unpredictable, but at this stage I have the 8th free and would love to attend one of these days again!

Vic, I'm emailing you my details now.

If anything changes I'll let you know.

Michael

We have about 31 cars now

About 16 MINI's and the rest a great mix of some very interesting vehicles (all your friends i think

Looks like being a great event, wish i could make it but work gets in the way again, there must be some benefit in organising all these events and then missing out on participating, but I havn't worked it our yet

Have a great time everyone and be careful, I'm off the air now for the next week
