IMM2014 - 31st July-4th August - Time to book your holidays

Post by Billy »

The 2014 International Mini Meeting takes place in Kent in the southeast of England, a good day's ferry and drive for most of us. The official website is www.imm2014.co.uk

The Irish Mini Owners Club is planning a large presence at the 2014 IMM so as it's peak holiday season, early booking of ferries will save you money in the longterm.

If you haven't been at an IMM before, here's the official IMM website http://www.internationalminimeeting.org/ where member clubs discuss past and future events.

Mark it in your diary.

Don't know if anyone would be interested or not but I was talking to ferry company last week and they are to get back to me with a group price. That would be sailing out of Rosslare to Fishguard

Rosslare is the easier drive getting to Kent as it's M4 for the bulk of the trip.

Had a daft notion this morning, depending on holidays, to pop over to France after the IMM as the Dover-Calais ferry is so close.

I know I've said it before but Tesco vouchers are brilliant for covering ferry costs. €10 Tesco voucher = €40 ferry voucher.

Same thing here. Tried 4 different cards. Messaged them the other day about it and haven't heard yet. Note for 2017, have paypal as it's easy to buy stuff and it's secure and safe.
