Shamster · Feb 28th, 2005, 09:45 AM

Due to my slightly un-prepared speech

on the night I didn't mention some of the people behind the scenes who have helped out. I think they all deserve some recognition and their own thread. So from the organisers (who will not be mentioned here

) a huge thanks. (If I've missed anyone anyone out it's not deliberate - please mention here and I will put them on this opening credit).

In no particular order:

Minnie Mouse (Jackie) - general pre-Ball room prep and raffle

Lewis - helping to set up M2CB live on the web

Speed (Anand) & Rakey (Martin) - T-shirt sales

Max (Malcolm) - raffle and a host of other things

Trainman (Neil) & Harpo (Paul) - table dec

Stephen Wong (Our FD) - raffle tickets

Julz - co-ordinating lots of fundraising through New Mini Scotland

Mini Moocher - table dec

Sharon (Sham's wife) - raffle tickets

Minicabrio (John) - general pre-Ball room prep and raffle

Jackie (Mrs Soggycornflakes) - a special thanks for putting up with Bob

and also for providing help with event planning all along.

A virtual round of applause for all please.

Minnie Mouse · Feb 28th, 2005, 03:27 PM

Many thanks for thanking me, but I did nothing in comparision to how much work the organisers actually did over the last year or so!

So take a pat on your own backs you organiser people please

You didn't sell one to me... were there any left?

Paul · Feb 28th, 2005, 05:03 PM

Big thanks for shifting those shirts, they've been taking up wardrobe space at my house for years!

(They make good polishing rags btw)

rags??? what no, they are genuine, one off, limited edition, MINI launch t-shirts, fit you sir, ooohh sir fits you

suitable for sleeping in, going to the gym in, watching tv in, lounging round the house on the weekend, for posting on MINI2, wearing whilst washing you MINI, or yes I suppose you could even clean the MINI with them if you really had too

It was an excellent night....and the months of organising by DK, Bob, Sham et all really paid off!! Well done you lot.....!!

And many thanks to all those of you who bought white raffle tickets

cdn jcw · Mar 4th, 2005, 02:18 AM

Thank you to all that had a hand in making this a successful event. Thanks for the warm welcome for us Canadians too! It was much appreciated! Hope we can do this again in the future! Perhaps we'll be in the middle of the convoy next time

Thanks again!
