Morris Minor Owners Club

Whilst you're all here....

Figured it would be a good time to bring up the topic from a few months ago - ie. the possibility of a meet/rally organised by us lot.
Most people so far thought a midlands based meet would be best as it will exclude fewer people by distance (eg. Gaydon). Possibly wiith a drive session included.

Does anyone want to volunteer to help organise it?

Messages welcome under the post, but you can PM me if you feel the need.

Well, it was (mainly) my idea so I can't sit back and let others do the legwork !

Count me in (but please not during February as I'm away from the 9th). I think May would be good time to avoid freezing rain & ice and Warwickshire is very pretty around that time.

Midlands deffinately seems the way to go (having only moved from leam to london)

Ill be more than willing to lend a helping hand although wether ill actualy have a car on the road is a different matter (ill use a bike instead lol).

Any ideas to roughly when?

Cheers

Edd

Count me in, Ray.

Anything you want me to do, give me a shout.

I'm in. Anything around the Mids, and I'll do my best.

Some idea as to when, would be good.... Maybe we could have an early meet somewhere, say end of January....?

January! Brrrr.

MIDLANDS!! What the hell, what about the ones of us that are in the depths of the country, maybe Dizzi will bring me, I think may would be good, as I could drive(ish) then.

Except exams in May James? ANd yeah your cool for a lift if you not got your own by then. I would love to get involved in a rally with you folks, not sure about helping, don't know what I can do but anything I can do to help I would be happy to.

7 people have replied to the post, but only 5 have voted???

I'd love to come, would also be happy to help, but don't know how much time I'll have available.

Perhaps you could put together a list of jobs / teams and circulate it, then people would be able to sign up to something, having some idea of what was involved?

Having never been to a rally (almost got to this years national), I have little idea what is required.

I am the same Ben.
And I thought I had submitted a vote but came back just now and realised that I obviously hadn't so one of those non voters was me.

There seem to be a few of us in the same boat here.

January is a little early for me but ill try and make it whatever the date. (May sounds good and it'll give me 6 Months to get an mot)

I think before we start listing jobs we need to asertain what people want from the event. How organised does it need to be? Which venue, asuming Gaydon is the first choice. Number of people attending, (difficult to say and hopefully we get a positive response)

I like the idea of a drive though as the lanes are great fun up there in warwickshire.

Also i have a fair bit of time at the moment as im not working. If there is anything that can be done now to help procedings then let us know and ill crack on with it.

Cheers

Edd

Thanks for the positive responses.
By next week I'll get those interested into a discussion about what on earth we might do for an event and what time of year will be best. From that we should be able to come out with a list of things to do.

Yup the oldun is up for it as well (zimmer repairs should be finished ) if there are only a smallish nuber going it might be an idea to keep it simple.

*picks up road map of britain* hmmm I'll come if I can get there and if my car wants to go that far , I probabley live further away from the Midlands then most people *penarth in south wales* but I could be wrong , I'm hoping to organise a camp out *hopefully with the help of sarah and some friends* possibley in Newquay sometime next summer, - nothing is def yet it's an idea I've been thinking alot about. I'm interested in any rally as I have never been to one

I'm hoping to organise a camp out *hopefully with the help of sarah and some friends* possibley in Newquay sometime next summer,

Can I come if you have one? That's more my neck of the woods. I promise to bring my car with me.

sure can, I was going to say that you n schmickle would like the idea as your both from cornwall aren't you?. I'm waiting for sarah's reply to this idea *if she got my private message*. But I'm really thinking bout doing it now and hopefully getting a few dubbers to go aswell. I shall stop talking about my idea now as I don't want to spoil this topic for the others, pm or email me if you have any idea's - brit_ish@hotmail.com.

This is exactly the sort of event that I've been thinking about to help bring young owners into the club... but that's a totally different thread, so I'll shut up.

If only Cornwall was closer to the Mids, I'd be laughing!

Come down for a week, summer holiday or something Gareth!

YAY Newquay! Will there be any age limit on this even? Just wondering...

oi, no stirring James!
