howdy!
I was wondering if you guys had ideas for or had experienced some fun events with your clubs.
I'm trying to gather ideas to share with a new group forming in the Memphis TN area.
thanks for your help.
DC Metro MINIs is very well orgranized. We have a board, an annual business meeting, dues, a club insurance policy, a web site (
www.dcmetrominis.org), a forum on NAM and we plan about two events per month (sometimes more, October was very busy for us with five events.) We have also negotiated discounts with two local dealers. Events have included:
* A standing monthly breakfast at a local dealership
*Monthly dinner
*Holiday party wtih gift exchange
*Camping trip with a drive to see the leaves change (overnight optional)
*Halloween event with a picnic and driving at night to run corn mazes
*Drive to a restaurant to eat lunch or dinner - such as going out for crabs
*Scenic drives around the area - Annapolis/Wye Island, Battlefields, Soloman's Island
*A 'how to" day at a local MINI owner's garage where we learned to change our own oil
*A BBQ and car judging competition
We have future plans for a group car wash, a drive to see Christmas lights, a scenic drive into southern Maryland etc.
Non members are welcome at almost all of our events, but must pay a small fee to "join for the day" so they are covered by the group insurance policy.
Hope this helps.
