The whole of Bognor is a sleepy place but by the time 50+ or so mini2ers come to town, im sure it will never be the same again

Thread Bump

Just thought I'd give this thread a bump by reminding peeps that there is a bit of glamour in attendance on this run.

Hello fellow mini2ers,

In the last year i've tried to go on as many runs as i could, so that one day i would know how to organise one. Well that day has now arrived, well im going to have a go anyway

I have a good idea of what the final weekend will be like and that involve's staying in Chichester, a good night out (not too good however we will have to drive the next day), Some good veiws at lunch, a criuse along Bognor sea front and a trip to the goodwood motor circuit. Oh and about 100miles of the best roads the South Downs have to offer in between
I've picked out the date 25th july 2004 .
How does that sound?

Run preview
We will meet on the sunday morning at 9.30ish, run start will be at 10.00, the start point is the sainsburys car park on the A27 Chichester by-pass. There is a petrol station at the start point for last minute fuel and food for lunch (still need to double check that it will be open), there is also a Mcdonald's around the corner for anyone needing breakfast.
The run will first take us though Goodwood, up around Petersfield, over near Winchester and finish up in Portsmouth for lunch. After lunch has yet to be decided but i am planning on going over the South Downs though Petworth, Arundel, Bognor and finish at the Goodwood motor circuit at round 4.30ish.


Hotel and evening entertainment
I've picked a hotel in Chichester town centre, it's called The Nags Head. I've heard some good things about it and i have also eatern there a few times. The rooms start at £40 on-line. I do have to point out that there is a cancelation fee of £10 on-line for more info or to book by phone I have included the number below as well. Please bear in mind that Glorious Gooodwood starts on the monday after so the hotels around the area may start to fill up, at the moment the nags is empty.

It's in its final stage of being finished. If he ever stops coming to Oxford it should be done soon.

I apologise for distracting him.

A double room at the Nags Head has been reserved for Peanut and Beastmaster.
Can the run organisers please advise what entertainment arrangements they have made for the amusement of attendees?

Should Poppet be waiting in the bar to greet his guests, it's a pint of bitter and a wine and soda please!
