We haven't got all the details ironed out yet but this is what we have:

On Saturday April 5th we would like to invite any MINI owners that are interested in being a part of a Florida MINI club to come out and share your opinions and two cents with us, the Club Formation Committee. Items up for discussion: The club name, club logo, club officers, club purpose/goals and anything else you might want to bring up. This is your chance to nominate someone for a club office.

This event will take place on Saturday April 5th in central Florida. We have not nailed down a final location but as soon as we do I'll post that information in this thread.

Mark you calendars and plan on attending so you can throw your two cents into the ongoing effort to get the Florida club motoring! More information later.

i've been looking at locations for us to meet around the clermont area where i grew up. i posted this on MCO too since the info needs to be spread around...

here's the scouting report from the first trip through my old stomping grounds...

there's a few car clubs that meet on different nights of the week at the citrus tower so it has jumped to the top of my list for possible meeting points.

1. easy to find, you can see it miles away
2. lots of parking
3. its near the curvy roads

clermont has absolutely exploded since i left to go off to college. we'll have to drive a little further out to get some good motoring ground than we used to in my day! i'm thinking old hwy 50 to 455 through montverde, up sugarloaf mountain. i haven't figured out the rest of the route though. there's a mexican resaurant in the bottom of the citrus tower now. i heard its good. it used to be a generic diner with a breakfast buffet. the kiwanis club used to meet there all the time. it used to be you could see citrus trees from the citrus tower but now all you can see is houses and apartments.

i'm still considering other locations though. there are two small pavilions down by the lake but you have to pay to park now (grrrrr...) and its not as easy to find as the citrus tower.

more news to follow later...

I would be willing to host a get-together at my house in Titusville. Screened in pool, beers and the back roads of Canaveral national sea shore. Lemme know if anyone needs help.

Wait a second...did I just suggest drinking beers and driving? Scratch that, forget I offered. Driving while under the influence of alcohol is dangerous and illegal; MINI2.com, MINI USA, and BMW LLC do not condone, approve or support drunk driving.

but as long as you would be willing to let us pass out in the yard and drive home the next day when we've sobered up then there isn't a problem!

Sorry, but no. My anniversary is on Sunday and I've got an autocross on Saturday.

Aimee-
I'm a lil' confused, we've met before. Actually numerous times; MM2, Disney meet and the I-Drive (with FLAME) meet. I must not have made a big impression on you; I'll try better next time. Next time we meet, we'll get drunk. You'll never forget me then!

The "Hope to see and finally meet you guys" was a general sentence meant for everyone. The "hope to see" part was meant for those I've met and the "finally meet you guys" was for those I haven't met! I should've clearly separated those two sentences.

Sorry to hear you are not coming. I will be doing my first autocross on Saturday at ST8, wish me luck!!
