I was 19 when I got my first Minor. 10 years later and I have two of the things... ;)

I was actually thinking of redesigning the name badges to eliminate some of the problems I discovered when I did last year's batch (especially the annoying hand-tied blue ribbons that kept getting tangled up!). My own badge from last year seems to have gone walkabout so I don't know how many others will still be able to find theirs.

How will we indicate in advance our intention to camp with the website group? I couldn't see anything relevant on the booking form. Will we just have to turn up and try to find a space near the website people who arrived earlier? I arrived late-ish on Friday evening last year and had to squeeze my tent into a fairly small gap; this year it's further away from me so I'll arrive even later unless I manage to persuade work to let me out early. :-?

I think our branch has the youngest member so far. Born last November Vienna Lett came to her first meeting aged 5 weeks and has only missed 1 meeting since. She even came to the Rally :lol:

Well I'm still on the process of getting my license, nearly there though so If I pass 1st time I shall be down, look or listen for a blue 4 door (GDV978D) Or the music from my sub or the massive big bore back box I was given by my dad of his HA van :P, Can provide music from either my car or a 1982 ghetto blaster I can battery up for the bbq if needed :) Look forward to meeting people my age that own minors, So what are other people like,
that are young owners like me (interests etc) Or any young owners got msn (or any owners) add me: dannyboyd@hotmail.co.uk :)

I had the same thoughts Dan, we can scare the oldies off with our loud stereos! :P
Only joking, the kinda music i listen to doesn't really work with a sub-woofer! I got told off at the birmingham branch rally for playing Dire straits...
Will add you on msn :)
