Nancy isn't driving though is she?

So she could still achieve that plan.

very true, although previous experience of americans on MINI2 runs makes me think she'd want to be sober!

Great news Snowie!!

Too right!

Snowie - we are planning on bringing some products from Luxembourg for the auction (errm - mainly of the consumable-liquid-containing-alcohol variety) - maybe you might have a chance to do same from Italy?

Really looking forwards to this weekend, and have now got a date that week for the Plant Oxford tour too......

Not long now...

Sober??? Not on your life! In fact, It's possible that I'll already be drunk when I show up at Gravity and Carlos' home to catch a ride to the hotel.

Looks like I will be bringing some Wine, Parmesan Cheese and Balsamic vinegar back with me - Oh and may be some Ferrari goodies. Italian Beer is poo compared to good old Belgium beer.

What date are you going to the factory - maybe I could organise to be on the same tour as I have not done it yet.

Snowie · Feb 25th, 2008, 07:19 PM

paypal payment for the tickets just completed.

Flights from Italy to UK to book and Eurotunnel for the driving trip back to Italy to book

Nearly got it all done and ready to party

Natural groups/ areas will be seated together

you need to PM me if you have any seating preferences, but check with others first that they want to be on your table

SoggyCornFlakes · Feb 27th, 2008, 07:05 PM

Got yours thanks Lewis

MINI_Moocher · Mar 2nd, 2008, 12:44 PM

Hi Soggy,

Later than expected, but we have just registered.

Hi guys - and about time too

as JLC would say "good times"

dalboyne · Mar 2nd, 2008, 01:46 PM

Guys

I have just followed the link onto the Make A Wish home page, to find out more about the charity we are supporting this year. And incredibly - they don't seem to have any mention of the MINI2 Ball!!! What's going on? In May there appear to be 3 events, but none of them is us?? Is someone going to contact them to put this right?

PS - How are we going to manage all the donations? If I understand this correctly, if donations are made by tax-paying individuals, then the charity also can claim back the taxes we pay........?? (Apologies if this has already been dealt with)
