MINI Gathering in Calgary

[tburt]

Hi Everyone,

I know there are a lot of MINI owners in Cowtown, because I've seen ya. I thought since spring is here we should organize a little gathering sometime in April. I was thinking of meeting up somewhere in the south, and then taking the 22X out to Bragg Creek for a coffee. We can check out each others MINI's and get to know each other.

If you are interested drop me a note at tkburt@shaw.ca

Or, we could meet one night at race city or something. Or do a run down 17th Ave. SW on a hot day. That would be fun as hell. I'm dissapointed by the lack of web replies, though :| Anyway, I'm definitely in!

that sounds good too. I'm a little disappointed in the number of replies too. I thought there were more MINI drivers from Cowtown online here. I post something up at the dealer.

Good to hear from ya

That would be very fun...except only four people are replying...I know a friend that works at the Crowfoot Mini dealership. In fact, he owns a mini cooper s also. So if you can talk to him online about advertising this thing, that is if you are that much into organizing something for the mini owners in calgary, you should. His log in name is zerofighter

Thanks for the info, I'll try and get intouch with him maybe he can post something at the dealership, or we could get a dealer sponsered event.

I'll post here if anything gets going.

Cheers

Hi, I'm up in Edmonton. I know there are other MINI's in town but our dealership isn't ready yet. It would be nice to meet other owners and socialize. Let me know if something is going on.

Let me know if anyone is getting together ... I'm in!!!

I sat around for months waiting @ meetup.com but gave up. Rather than no interest in getting together in Calgary, I think most people are just not together online around here.

You can reach me - gmorison@shaw.ca

If you guys don't mind a mega-mini enthusiast coming out in his dad's station wagon (hey, it's shared insurance which = cheaper for student, like me) then I would love to tag along

haha, thanks for telling the world where I work! Well...not anymore anyway. If you guys want me to advertise something along hte lines of a MINI meet, I'm sure the MINI sales are more then happy to lend a helping hand too us. Since I did favor them over the BMW side of the dealership.

Oh yea...I would definately come. Everyone should come to Bimmerfest 2005 tentatively on Sunday June 26, 2005 here in Calgary. http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=100 There were no MINIs there last year.

I talked with the sales staff last week when I picked up my car (ac being fixed). They assured me that a MINI gathering in Calgary was being planned for late June or late July.

I'm being taken out for ice cream on Father's Day. TBurt's suggestion of Bragg Creek sounds good to me. Anyone else in? 2pm

Sorry to bump an old thread...but there were 2 MINIs there last year.

a white JCW from the dealership, and my black/white MCS.

So did a gathering happen? Haven't been on this forum for ages...

There were no replies, flooding in Bragg Creek and I got sent out of town that evening. I've given up on a meet for the time being.

Well someone organize it, and we will just see who shows up. I'll be there....as long as there are at least 2 MINIIs it will still be fun. Start small.....
