Morris Minor Owners Club

Does anyone know the date for next years National and the location?

Ewen, The date and location for next years national will be announced shortly.

probably South mmoc don't like the North

YER all those flipping penguins

No they are nuns

What about Scotland? Must be about time surely, we have had it in the South a few times and it would be great to go to!

I Agree Scotland

Works for me, cheaper boat prices up there

I would chuck the minor on the trailer and drive to Scotland...

In fact I would put the minor on the trailer wherever the rally is... much better sleeping in a van than a tent!

Being Scottish I would definitely like to see it up there. Would be a great opportunity to show my (hopefully completed by then) restoration to my elderly parents.

Would be good and a local one for me if was in Scotland. We would certainly make everyone welcome. I just think will be another 800 round trip next June though.

Can anyone "up North" suggest a suitable site? It must have plenty of room, be flexible about the number of visitors, easily accessible, not too expensive, provide a camping site, have good facilities, and provide something of interest to visit. Also need to consider whether traders would be prepared to make the trip, unless you were happy for a rally without many traders - many are located more to the South, and have to take a commercial decision on the cost of attending, whereas many owners treat it as a holiday.

All downhill on the way back ! Scotland sounds great !!!

yes Scotland is lovely .but only for the brave if all the midges are hungry

Thirlestane Castle/park in the Borders could be a possibility, they already run lots of events.

You mean you won't be driving the Moggie up there........
..... c'mon get those keys in the ignition, it's what they were built for.......
......................or are you just a trailer queen???...........

Well at the moment... my one doesn't have an ignition switch, propshaft, axles, brakes, steering wheel, bonnet, fuel tank etc etc

But the minor will be faster, quieter and more efficient than the tow vehicle - I just have an aversion to tents

Donington. Combine the show with an open track day for cars attending at the owners leisure and it would be before the Download preparations if on the right date so it won't be a mess (unlike after Download )

With the extra power you will be able to fit a towbar for a caravan - simples - ......

................. or just keep a mattress in the back of the traveller for when the need arises....... just like the good old days!!
