slightly off the subject, but a few weeks ago me and the mrs went to mc arthur glenn a retail park just off junc 28 m1, there was a mini club org having a meet on the frontage, not a mini man myself but as it was cars had a nosy, on the end of the line[ last car] was a bucket for donations to cancer, thought that was a good idea, not saying it has to be a cancer related , any charity would be nice, i did notice they had collected a good amount. only a suggestion

Once you have been to a few meets you get a bit bored with looking at our cars, so do the family's.
We need to seek out venues that are good for wives, children, and friends, if we don't, then long term the attendances at meets will drop right off.. Museums are OK but don't limit them to cars n motorbikes.. In my opinion, country parks with water, boats, cafés, play areas, rides etc are the ideal meeting places.. I have also found that at large meetings, people break up into small groups and it becomes very difficult to find specific people you may want to meet and talk with... ... |

I agree wholeheartedly, which is why I hope to create meets either in a family friendly location, or where something a little different happens - i.e. a parade lap at Bruntingthorpe. Clumber park worked well that Zeb organised, as it was a family friendly event. |

Thinking about somewhere for a meet???
I enjoyed the convoy especially as we went through that town where all the police was watching us... Can you imagine a long convoy of MG Rovers going down the promenade at Blackpool? Should be enough there for the family and kids to do. Oh and don't forget your bucket and spade. Edd <Kiss-me-quick>

Well I like the idea because I grew up in Lytham St Annes and Blackpool was my old stamping ground when I was a teenager...
Can you imagine the above at The Tower Ballroom Man that was a long time ago. Edd

Oh yes, I'd fancy that. Maybe stop over at the travelodge for an evening of shenanigans.
