One Richard Horton, works as a mechanic at Mini Sport, he saw me heading off to Blackpool on saturday evening and asked if i had just come from the run...so naturally i enquired as to how he knew about it, with not being a mini man, and told me he knew your mum and dad and yourself

hi there every one. well i have heard from a few of you now and if we start the run before 1pm we are going to loose too many of us due to work commitments...

however in regards to the lunch idea i am going to recki the route this saturday with karl then at least two of us are familiar with the route so we dont get as many casualties as last time and also to see if there is a pub that will put on a hot pot or curry on or something like that.

am open for suggestions. was just worried if we all turn up at a pub and order seperatly it will take for ever and they may not be able to fit us all in but prewarned i think we may stand a chance.

what do you all think about this want as much feed back as possible so i can get something set in stone as it is going in the paper again next week and want them all to have the same info as us....

Secondly i have been contacted by ribble valley council and clitheroe festival organisers they have asked me to put a meet on over the weekend in may. i have already sorted out the banners and am in discussions for some prizes and donations to make it worth your while. i know it is some time off yet but i am sending messages to mini mag and mini world and have full support of both our local papers so should get some good response but it is a very large area to fill so was just wondering how much support i could get from you guys would love all of you who come on the runs to be there...

thanks guys......

Sounds like fantastic news Ben, if i can help in anyway possible or pull a few strings feel free to ask, i can also pass the details onto Oldham Mini Club and get some more of there members involved to help push the numbers up.

Regarding the lunch idea seems like a good idea, see what kinda pub you can find along one of the routes and see if we can sort some kinda of good deal out with them maybe

[fergie]

that was my plan i dont think any body would mind a fiver for a meal and a drink...

i hope

map will go up on sunday after the test run...

[AGoaty]

My only concern is that if we have a meet at 1pm, chat til half past and set off, we'll end up having a meal at 3pm. It's not a mealtime that most people would eat.

Reguarding the one in May, Sounds good so let us know as more details come.......

just a quick note last time when you/we lost everyone they went to devils bridge. not knowing we were heading to the ribble head viaduct. me and 1 other mini went from ribble head to devils bridge to look at the bikes and there were about 15 minis there . so if some directions were announced before we set off or maybe some more marshalls/ people that knew the route it might help. not to put a downer on things but going round clitheroe twice was good but we were bound to get split up. this post is not be be nasty in any way but trying to be constructive then it will make the run move more slick.


ps. i will try and get some more from leyland mini club involved next time .
