Re: IMM 2011
The first Irish mini is on its way, currently heading across Wales.
In the IMOC we celebrate (especially during IMM trips) everytime we get a ferry on time.
Well done Billy.
actually I hope this year we might celebrate flights.

Re: IMM 2011
Hi guys,
Just checking in to make sure you are still coming
Making use of McDonalds free WiFi to send a few emails back home. We are about 100 miles west of Geneva at the moment and are hoping to get somewhere to stay just short of the Swiss border tonight. Weather so far has been warm but alittle overcast, Billy on the other hand has had heavy rain and thunderstorms for the past two days.
Hope the t-shirts and the Club prezzie are progressing nicely
See you in St.Stephan on Friday,
TMG & blackSe7en

There is now a live webcam from the IMM location.
You can now make sure that ZakGt is on his best behaviour at all times.

Re: IMM 2011
All over for another year, we are taking a brake just outside Montreux to refresh the batteries before leaving the package back to the airport.
We have loads to tell but just time at the moment to let you know that the 2013 IMM will be in Italy and the 2014 will be in Kent.
Planning an IMM takes years of preparation and there were even a few very early but strong mutterings of a bid in already for the 2017 IMM !!!!
All have agreed that this has been a very relaxed and enjoyable IMM and there was a great vibe within the IMOC group the whole weekend. The first wave of returning immers will be home late tonight with the second land wave returning on Thursday.
Hopefully some of us will be refreshed enough to make Mondello on Sunday.
We'll try to get a few snaps up before the weekend.
