Tom,

Got the entry form. Is 10 Euros the entry fee for everyone or is there the club discount for IMOC members?

Hi mini owners,
We are on a count down to the National Mini Day.
I believe we have everything in order, the long range weather forecast is good.

Members of the IMOC must present their membership cards to avail of entry fee discount on the day. No card, no discount ,no argument.
The fee is €10

Please have all your forms filled on arrival to speed up entry.
All cars should be in place by 12 noon.
Follow the instructions of our ministers for parking.
We will have a rough timetable of the day posted near the PA system.
Break up time will be 4.30 and if interested we will have local guides to lead a run for those going South, East and North.

For those Mini owners that arrive for Sat evening we will have a run to the Burren starting from the Clarinbridge Court Hotel at 7ish

Trad Music & song in the bar from 10 ish so bring your instrument and voice or whatever you play. You can also chat & be merry.


The hotel facilities are available all day. We ask our members and visitors alike to respect the hotel and grounds as if we were a paying guest.

We will have some mini vendors present.
Raffles & auctions will take place.
We have one or two fun events orginiased.

We have some nice Class Winners trophies
as well as a very nice memento of the day for being there.

Thats it for now folks, I'll be back if I forget anythinh so keep an eye on the forum and http://www.westernminis.com
Thanks,
Tom

Myself and Neil were going to bring the families down on the Saturday evening so this morning I rang the campsite in Renmore. It turns out that they don't open until June 24th. If we find another campsite nearby we'll let ye know.

Tom

[Andy Simpson]

Niall I can't afford sat-nav, I used my trusty £2 AA road book :lol:

Great weather and a good show

Well done to Tom, Adrian and all the members of the Western Region IMOC, who made todays event the best NMD so far, I'm looking forward to next year already.

The standard of car turnout just seems to get better and better. There were class winners from every corner of the country. Many thanks to all the Mini owners from all the clubs who travelled to Clarinbridge, it's your continued participation that makes National Mini Day "the" show of the year.

Congrats to Derek Bell on winning the Tom Gill Perpetual Cup for the second time, he really has a midas touch.
The weather was fantastic, Tom must be on first name terms with the provider.

All in all a top class event.

I'll have to start working on my Convertable Reily Moke Estate to be in with a chance for next year.

[Step_7]

Great fun day - well worth the drive down. Might make it back again next year!

[shaskeen]

Hi Folks,

Just a quick note from the Western Region IMOC to say a huge thank you to everyone that made the effort and the trip.
I think we will arrange a sandy beach for next year.
I will post the class winners later in the week.
Congrats to Derek Bell and his car for winning the overall car of the show for the second year.
Very tired members here but satisfied.
More later,
Once again Thanks to everyone.

Tom
