I'm really looking foward to this, really enjoyed it last year, and it should be even better this year, now that a few MINI2ers might be going... Only got a couple of weekends to get the car in order though... the clock is ticking...

JP will you post how/when we can get the entry forms please?

Included a couple of pics I took at last year's event

JP, maybe you can shed a little light on this but last year they had a run on the sunday I think. Any idea if that's going ahead this year too? Or wonder did they ditch it...

carolyn, what I have posted above was an e-mail I was sent from NIminiClub so as for a run etc I am as wise as you are (which isnt much ) , I am still waiting for them to get back to me reg entry forms etc

[AidenL]

JP, off topic, will you be in Letterkenny tomorrow to meet me, or will I just leave the springs in Grahams?

Nope, definitely not wise here, JP!

HHmmm... Wonder what the crack is with the run. I didn't make it last year, only went for the static bit, but I vaguely remember, though have absolutely no notion where from, that they said they weren't going to do it this year. As I said though, I have really no idea where I would have heard that. Might be worth checking JP if you happen to be talking to any of the organisers again

[Black_Magic]

i will be there for the castlewellen thing, if i didnt go i think Nylo would kill me.... and thats not a good look....
