Thanks for your posts guys, I'll update them now.

The venue will be in Leeds City Centre, one great big loop around!

I will be contacting the relevant authorities to organise it.

PS: Please stick us down for a place in the UK's next convoy

Very true tigger it needs to verified, but the effort to beat the last UK effort has been made even if it is not verified, then we need to make the number a harder one to beat!

Sounds fantastic Rams. The last one was great, and my first taste of MINI events, so I'm looking forward to getting the record back.

One thought though, can we have it during daylight? I know the last one Woodmans organised (and a great job they did too!) couldn't be organised at any other time, but it would be good to be able to get some decent photos / video of the run itself this time.

Regards,

James.

And another thought on top of that one.....

The last one was on a Wednesday (weeknight) and if im right then there was alot of people that could'nt make it as for this reason.

A weekend would eliminate this and therefor alot more people attending!
