MINI2

Cheesy Grin · Apr 12th, 2002, 07:22 PM

Hi...I'd be grateful if someone could tell me if there is a Mini2 club in Northern Ireland, or anywhere on the Island for that matter. If not, how could I get one started?

Really enjoyed reading about all the events planned by the various groups on the site.

Many thanks

Hiya,

Im in Donegal, been wondering exactly the same thing - where are all the MINIs in Ireland?! ....lets see how things develop in here....

AidenL · Apr 16th, 2002, 05:27 PM

Doesnt appear to be too many of us in this part of the world !!

Cheesy Grin · Apr 17th, 2002, 09:49 AM

Hi Aiden...I agree they are few and far between in the Island as a whole - I attended a course in Castleblayney, Co. Monaghan and saw only 1 mini-cooper from Killyleagh, Co. Down all the way to Castleblayney and that sighting was in the North. However in Portstewart over Easter just about every Cooper in the North came out to pose, especially on the promenade, and I spotted a few Southern licence plates too. Hopefully some of these owners will log onto this site soon.

See ya!

AidenL · Apr 17th, 2002, 12:24 PM

Amy,

Ive seen 1 other MINI in Bundoran, one in Sligo, I know a few have been sold in Letterkenny, but ito what part of the county, or country I dont know....

Should be a few in the Bundoran / Rossnowlagh area over the Summer when the season gets going, so maybe I might be able to spread the word in here and get something rolling...

Seems like its up to us to get something going !!

We can fight over who will be our local chapter President !! I bags Treasurer, I love money !!

Cheesy Grin · Apr 18th, 2002, 05:44 PM

Hi....good idea, but where to start, that's the question? Will put thinking cap on and get back. Every morning on the way to work I meet this little blue and white cooper coming from the opposite direction. We are usually slowing down at the lights and the driver and I flick our lights and wave, with of course silly grins to match. We've never spoken, but I am almost tempted to roll down the window and yell 'log onto mini2.co.uk'. That would give us 3 members, which if my mathematics serves me correctly, is better than 2. Advise if you think this is too silly to contemplate.

Hi Cheesy and Aiden

We have made allocations for a Northern Ireland region and did ask BelfastCooper if he would like to be a regional co-ordinator. Unfortunately his work load and committment are too great for him to spare enough time to help with the club and therefore we have been waiting for a few more of you over there to pop up on the site

We would dearly love for you two to become our regional co-ordinators over there!

We thought that we would offer Regional Co-ordinator to Aiden as they have been on the site longer and have Cheesy as the Deputy Co-ordinator, what do you both think?!?!?!? Of course you can always swap your roles if you both feel that you would prefer to do this!

Please let us know if you are happy with your positions so that we can sort out an official ClubMINI2.com e-mail address for the Regional Co-ordinator. As soon as we know your preferred positions we will tell you all about your roles within the club via e-mail.

In the mean time, if you both want to pop to the "Help ClubMINI2" thread, you will find a downloadable flyer to print and place on any MINI windscreens that you see to try and encourage more members to join your region!

We are really sorry for the delay in getting back to you both, please e-mail us an answer to the above and we will get you started up over there as soon as possible

Hopefully (fingers crossed) welcome both of you to ClubMINI2!!!!!

Once again, thanx for your patience,

The Dodgers xx

Nothings too silly if we can increase the numbers, but the driver mightnt be interested anyway !! Nothing to lose though!!

Regarding the Co-Ordinator Posts, Im game if you are, let me know when you get a chance, then we can move with the Dodgers from there !!

AidenL · Apr 19th, 2002, 09:36 AM

Incidentally, just saw a Belfast reg Indi Blue MINI One in my hometown today, stopped to let me out of a junction, even though I wasnt driving the MINI....

Lovely people, us MINI drivers !!

AidenL · Apr 24th, 2002, 03:26 PM

Just saw another brand new MINI One in town today, all black, maybe the MINI population is finally gowing here !!??

We might have some membership potential yet !!

MrCooper · Apr 24th, 2002, 06:17 PM

If they're anything like my auntie they're all middle aged woment who only want a small BMW!!!

I'd love to come to a NI mini meeting (I'm originally from Bangor) when Im over, keep me up to date.

Cheesy Grin · Apr 24th, 2002, 07:44 PM

Disagree - For me part of the fun is seeing all the different age groups driving the new mini, and wondering what their different reasons might have been for buying one.

Amy S.

AidenL · Apr 25th, 2002, 04:04 AM

Amy,

Did you get my PM in connection with the above??

Ive been communicating with the Dodgers, but I havent heard back from you - now they are taking a break for a while, so I assume they will revert to me when they are back in action.

Please let me know what you think, OK?

My middle aged comment was aimed at my auntie directly!

I just cant picture her in it!

AidenL · Apr 25th, 2002, 03:20 PM

Mr Cooper,

Where does your auntie live?? If we dont get another few people in here on this thread, she may become one of the main members of the Irish ClubMINI2 branch !!

MrCooper · Apr 25th, 2002, 03:55 PM

You can't do that to me!!!!!!

mini mucker · May 3rd, 2002, 07:51 PM
