Hello Peeps!
Theres a lot to read, so please stay with me!
Right. After reminicing about my first MINI run where the South Coast New MINI club, Cornwall MINI club and Severns MINI club all came together for an awesome run, I thought that maybe we should have another one.
But this time...MUCH BIGGER!
So I began talking with Max about doing this event, involving those two clubs and Nicci's (Foxy_MINI) East Coast Mini Club and Minicruiser's Mini2MINI. But after consultation, I've decided to call it the MASSIVE MINI Meet 2007* so that ANYONE who wants to attend can come!
I really do hope that we have LOTS of Minis and MINIs, and their owners and company, attending from ANYWHERE in the country! I would love to have lots of cars and people, just there to have fun and to meet people with similar interests! :)
The Event
The event will be a WEEKEND event (But you are quite welcome just to come for the run if you want to! :) )
Friday 27th April: A small get together for those people staying in local campsites/hotels or anyone that just wants to turn up!
Saturday 28th April The day of the MINI run!!!
The MINI run will start at 10AM.
Please get there from 9.30am so we can start to get people put into their appropriate run groups. (Puddlers, Middle groups, Fast group)
If you are a newbie and unfamilar with the format of a MINI run, THATS OK! But I would recommend you go in the first, slow group (Puddlers) so that you will better enjoy your run.
Lunch will be at the A303 Solstice Services near Amesbury - the site includes the Amesbury Archer , a Pizza Hut and a KFC and loads of parking so no bookings for lunch will be required-just turn up and go.
There is also a petrol station and a Somerfield store/kiosk if you just want a quick snack...
After the run, we will head back to the campsite for a night time BBQ and evening of fun!
You DON'T have to camp to take part in the night time fun!
Anyone worried about the run, PLEASE don't be! If you do have any concerns, just ask and I will try my best to answer your questions
[B]Sunday 29th April At 11.00am runs for all clubs leading them back to Cornwall, Bristol and S Wales, and the East Coast
The start point will be the West Portway Industrial Estate circuit road which leads up to the rear exit of the Premier Inn Car Park.
Accommodation
Max has found a very nice campsite near the start point for all those people wishing to camp on the Friday and/or Saturday nights.
Details can be found here:
Wyke Down Touring Caravan & Camping Park:
http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=1166
Many will be camping and at 9.30am Max will convoy the happy campers from the campsite to the Start Point.
For all those too posh to camp, there is a hotel right at the start point of the run. Details can be found here:
http://www.premiertravelinn.com/pti/hotelInformation.do?hotelId=25034&iscsell=
If you are intending to stay here please book early to avoid disappointment.
This is next door to a brand new Brewers Fayre pub-restaurant called The Portway (No website for this as it’s so new) where we could have a Friday and/or Saturday evening get together if the weather is inclement.
There is also a SHELL OPTIMAX station across the Roundabout from the hotel.
Please post in here and tell us:
A) What event you are doing (Friday, Saturday, Sunday)
B) How many people in your group are coming
C) Your name/s
D) Are you camping, staying in the hotel or just turning up for the run
For those that attended the South Downs run by Poppet, this event will be much in the same vein.
I really enjoyed the South Downs and that's why I'm doing something like it. :cool: :)
In order to make it clearer who is attending and other such important stuff, PLEASE KEEP THE BANTER IN THIS THREAD TO A MINIMUM
If you would like to banter about this event, then please use this thread here:
