"Here's the scoop on the Christmas party!!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I will be posting the menu and better specifics on the club website once I get it all typed up but, for now, here goes.
The date is Sunday, December 12th, 2004 at 3PM. The party will be at the "Elephant and Castle" pub in on Route 22W in Springfield, NJ. We have a fixed price menu but it will be a "pay as you go" event. RSVPs are to go directly to the restaurant. You MUST mention the MINI club in order to be counted for the event. I have reserved a room that will hold up to 25 people however, we have the option to upgrade to a bigger room if the group gets larger than that. Also, we will have our own MINI parking. Rich and I are working out "holiday" stuff as well.

Recommend posting an announcement & link to this thread on the New England Roll Call thread; as a number of the NYMINI visitors have commented, MINI2 is big - even the New England Regional is big.
The idea of the Roll Call thread is for everyone to say "hi" there, then any other message posted there will alert them - helps people to not miss interesting new threads ...

By the way, your hemmings link is broken.

Done, and links fixed. Thanks!

Spoke with Debbie Franks today and there will be a "Dress the
MINIs/Minis" contest! The winners are to be voted on by the
participants and party attendees. Get your MINI dressed for the holidays!

Many thanks to Rich and Debbie Franks for hosting this party! Had a great time, good food and great company!

Had a chance to meet DreamingTwig, heyduard, paulgraz, nancygraz and nicolegraz. It was a pleasure!

Twig, you slipped out the way you came in, through the back door! Didn't get a chance to say "bye".

Some of the usual suspects, me (of course), Jerseygirl, IanF, oilman930, MiniMight and his wife, several couples who owned classic Minis. Can't even remember everyone's names! Had a fabulous time, everyone went home with goodies for their MINI!

Happy Holidays!

Agreed!, tontobird! It was a pleasure meeting everyone.

Highlights were paulgraz and Jerseygirl winning the "Dress the MINI/Mini" Contest. They each won a MINI Dog plushie. There was a raffle for three throw blankets made by a local MINI owner.

A good time was had by all.

I didn't know Spike had the KOP (Klingon Option Pack) in his Cooper... No wonder he's a good drag racer.

Here! Here! We had a blast and the fish 'n' chips were good to boot. Always nice to put faces to at least a couple more names on the boards. Thanks to Debbie and Rich for yet another great gathering.

Now if we can just get all those MINIs that came to the dinner to come to Ocktcooperfest next fall...
