Minutes of Meeting of Miniaddicts
Held on Wednesday, 7th February 2007
Present: 29 – Miniadditcts.
Apologies were received from Belinda Jones, some members of Snowdon Minis and John Melsher.
Dean opened the meeting by welcoming all members, especially new faces from Northop Hall, Warrington and Liverpool (a member of East Coast Minis). January had been a good month for the Club.
Wirral to Llandudno Run organised by Wirral Minis – Sunday, 14th January 2007
It was felt that the organisation of this run could have been better. We assembled at Matalan Car Park in Bromborough and went to the meeting point in convoy – only to be split up when we arrived as we were parked in horizontal lines and left in vertical ones. If we are taking part next year we will need to book early.
Bingley Hall – Sunday, 28th January 2007
The British Mini Club let us down on this event. We applied early to get a Club stand and were told at the last minute we had not been granted one. However, Grace’s Pink Mini and Mark’s Z Car Mini had been invited onto other stands. In retrospect it was felt that this made for a better day out. 10 Minis travelled in Convoy to the show. There were not many bargains to be had. A big thank-you to everyone who attended.
Curry Run – Sunday, 11th February 2007
A run has been arranged to meet up with Snowdon Minis in Caernarfon.
Meet at the Red Lion, Northop around 9:30am for a prompt departure at 10:00am (weather permitting). Going on afterwards to the Bengal or Amantola for curry. We are now making more use of our cb radios so bring them with you if you have one.
