Recent Events

Sunday 15th November 2009
A Very Special Outing

2008/09 has been a very good year for Lincolnshire MINI Club.
In January we were voted the "Best New MINI Owners Club" by readers of Modern MINI Magazine and in June we pulled off the first ever NEW MINI DAY and once again I would like to echo that both of these success's are down to the great members Lincolnshire MINI Club has.

To celebrate a good year and to finish the year with our biggest and best outing yet, we put together A VERY SPECIAL OUTING that simply could not be missed.

Where did we go?

To London of course.

We arrived at the famous "Berkeley Square" at around 9.30am 

Surrounding Berkeley Square are the Flagship Showrooms of "Rolls Royce", "Bentley", Porsche", "Land Rover" and "Jaguar".

After a short walk we made our first stop at MINI Park Lane.

After spending an hour or so at MINI Park Lane we walked through Hyde Park to our lunch venue at Harrods 

Our Harrods Banquet Meal included as many Starters as you like, yes as many as you like, which includes Lobster, Prawns etc. As many Carvery Main Courses as you like. This included, Beef, Lamb, Pork and Turkey, and the finish as many sweets as you like and the sweets are to die for. 

We then walked of our Gastro Extravaganza off
 with some FREE hours to go shopping or sight seeing. 

I think you will agree that this was a great way to finish the year. The pictures below tell the full story.

Arrange by new Events Organiser Natasha Dawson, members of Lincolnshire MINI Club had a fantastic day out in Spalding.
 
Initially meeting for a superb lunch, Natasha showed that she knows only the finest eating houses in her local area. Superb surroundings, great food and very reasonable costs. With full stomachs Natasha leads the way to our Photo Shoot venue and proved her organisational skillls and determination.
 
A great day was had by all and we await to see if the articles now make it into the local press and national magazines.

PictureCoventry22009001.jpg

Lincolnshire MINI Club reigning holders of the "Best NEW MINI Club 2008/09" as voted by readers of Modern MINI Magazine, was invited to be the opening display at the Midlands Motor Show on Saturday 1st August 2009.
 
The British Motor Show might have fallen by the wayside, but the Midlands Motor Show is doing a fantastic job of filling its place! Taking place at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry on the weekend of 1 and 2 August, the newly conceived Expo attracted over 40 manufacturers from across the globe.

Lincolnshire MINI Club were asked to display at the dramatic entrance to thefantastic Ricoh Arena the home of Coventry City Football Club and we hope that our association with Justin and Roy - the organisers - will continue for many years to come.

BARBIE ON THE BEACH
Sunday 26th July 2009
 
Here was an event with a difference, a bit of a cross-between a pub meet and Picnic in the Park based on the beach.
 
The plan was to have a barbecue and drinks on the beach and a chat. People did whatever usual beach activities they wanted to which included burying Chairman MiNT in the sand as the day coincided with his 22nd birthday. Regardless of birthdays, Adam Randell was also buried with a mould made of the body parts he wished he had and Batman aka Adam West putting up a good fight not to be buried.
 
The game of cricket was a hit with all, even those who chose to watch. Come to think of it, those who were playing also did alot of watching as it was almost impossible to get Jet's son Mark out. This "little kid" certainly knows how to whack the ball again, and again, and again, and again, and again.......... Desparate measures were considered on how to get him out, but in the end we relied on "Lady Luck" that sooner or later he surely must make a mistake. It was in fact "later" rather than "sooner" and the day after, all these supposedly fit 20 year olds were complaining of their aching limbs. lol
 
New members "Wumble" with their lovelly Springer Spaniel "Jess" turned up along with "AlanH" and "LilMin" and "MillieTheMini". It was great to finally meet you all.

In fact Lincolnshire MINI Club has adopted "Jess" the youthful 7 year old Springer Spaniel as the "Club Dog". Pat your legs and Jess runs, leaps and ends up in your arms. Throw her away and she repeats it again, and again, and again, and again. This sounds familiar, perhaps we should adopt Mark as the clubs Cricket Player. lol

In conclusion, a great day was had by all and we all left with a sun tan and sore arms.
