Well folks it's that time of year to start thinking about the coming show season and as such this will be the first show, as usual, that NMS will be attending south of the border in 2016. In order to get things organised for the club stand I'm looking to see who's interested in attending.
The show will be held on Sunday 19th June 2016 and it's our intention to head down on the morning of Saturday 18th and come back after the show finishes (usually around 4pm).
The show is held at Lytham St Anne's and NMS have attended the show for the past few years (even winning best club stand in 2015).
Accommodation has already been arranged (same place as last year) which is just 4 miles away from the venue and it has secure parking.
The only downside is that i will require firstly for you to confirm that you're going and secondly i'm needing a £20 deposit (non refundable) to reserve a room. The cost of the hotel is £75 (same as last year). The balance (£55) will be required on or around the 1st June 2016. The number of rooms is limited so please don't delay, check your diaries and don't be afraid to join in the fun.

The hotel has private parking and more importantly an outside tap so there's no need to worry about you not having a clean car before you head down.

Don't worry if you've never been to a show before there are a number of regular show goers already with their names down and we'll all lend a hand getting the car sorted.

Names

1. Davy (paid in full)
2. William (paid in full) - twin
3. Brian (paid in full) - twin
4. Malcolm (paid in full)
5. David & Fiona (paid in full)
6. Andrew (paid in full)
7. Pete (paid in full)
8. Ian (paid in full)
9. - (paid in full)
10. Paul (paid)
11. Craig (paid in full)
12. Eddie (paid in full)
13.
14.

All rooms booked are doubles unless specified above. (Paid = deposit)

Rendezvous at Abington approx 10:30 and then head down to Lytham, hopefully get down there about 2ish. Gives us plenty time for any hold ups and to get the cars clean for the following day, plus a couple of refreshments and dinner :)

Thanks for organising Davy, looking forward to it already. As Davy has said don't be put off if you've never been to a show before, everyone will help you find your feet. MMM is truly a great show and is the closest show for us south of the border

Thanks Davy, for me this is my favourite 'away' show and a must do :thumbs up:

As Davy and William have both said, if you've never been to show before don't worry everyone will muck in and help out. The weekend is as much about the car show as it is about the night before catching up with friends and making new ones over some good food and a drink.

No I haven't Rob but I can. I asked last year for Daryl and it was cheaper for two rooms than it was for the family room (if it's not taken). I will ask for you though and let you know before I book your room. We are limited on rooms too at the mo as some have already been booked.

Rooms have been booked as per the first post.
Ian if you could sort the deposit with me by or at Cars and Coffee (Feb) that would be appreciated.
I'll book the rest as and when required for anyone else who wants to join us.

Please don't delay if deciding as there's not many rooms left and secondly our GP friends will be informed of the hotel that we're staying at shortly.

Rendezvous at Abington approx 10:30 and then head down to Lytham, hopefully get down there about 1ish. Gives us plenty time for any hold ups and to get the cars clean for the following day, plus a couple of refreshments and dinner :)

I appreciate that the Edinburgh and Glasgow "sides" may want to meet before Abington so that can be arranged between groups. I'll post the meeting point on the first page and any issues please let me know.

I know Eddie and Dave will be down later on due to other commitments in the morning ...

Maybe with the constant use of different symbols that are always used in the "B" word in the name of that type of bingo, and the hysterics that Crombers had us in whilst playing it on The HBT II, maybe which could call it "Alan Bingo" in future in relation to Rim Mayalls character in The New Statesman ?

Second year at MMM, great way to mark a year of r53 ownership. Great show, really relaxed, can't wait for next year! Thank you Davy, organisation was tip top as per, had an excellent weekend with everyone. Only took a few pictures, forgot the camera, typical!

Thank you to everyone who came along and made this MMM weekend such a great one. Thanks to Davy for organising the weekend and to The Fossys for organising B@$tard Bingo. Great weather today apart from the rain at the last part of the show and the way up the road. The Birley Arms as always was fantastic and know exactly how to look after us, including ordering extra Bulmers for Pete.

I'll get my photos posted tomorrow

Thanks to everyone for making this a great show as usual, and making Lucy part of the family. This was my second year at this and loved it every single part of it. From start to finish. So glad Davy persuaded me to play b@stard bongo and steal Petes prize, I over the prize, but Petes face was 10x better. How ever the hotel really needs to invest in some blackout blinds as getting woke up by the sun at half 5 in the morning wasn't very pleasant. It definitely caught up with me later on in the day. Was struggling to keep awake. Sadly the show finished early and we headed up the road. The rain was awful at one point when we left Gretna I was struggling to see Davy I front of me. Then to Hear a bmw was trying to cut us off, I had to step up and block him off from undercutting me. Us minis have to stick together. Thanks again, off to bed now. Up early to pack my case for Tenerife . Don't be to jealous mom and dad. ;)

It was a pleasure to organise the trip a massive thanks must go to you all for attending and making it worth while. I know for sure they'll be another 2 or 3 people heading down to MMM next year so those that haven't been before come down and enjoy a relaxing pre show evening with the gang. Yes the weather played its part towards the end of the day but it didn't dampen everyone spirits !
Massive thanks to "mom" for her home baking and keeping everyone in check for the "bingo" (although I'm sure Cat will resume her role as the bingo caller next year) - apparently I was a poor stand in lol.
Ian certainly won the most memorable moment of the weekend taking Petes parcel at the last gasp ... Pete your face was a picture !
A selected few knew about Fergal and Louise's trip over from Cork to join us on the stand (a wee surprise for Pete) and can I along with NMS say a massive thank you for making the effort to join us. You're welcome anytime and as Brian says "of course we'd be interested in an Ireland run" lol. Fergal/Louise it was great to catch up with you both and Fergal you keep looking after it ... Louise maybe realises that you're not as bad as some of us when it comes to cleaning !!
Delighted that our usual GP friends DaveB, T and Hutch all joined us too for the weekend too it was great to see you all ...
Thanks again to everyone who made the weekend what it was and fingers crossed the cars don't take too long to clean after the treacherous drive home ! Still got a few weeks to go before SCS to sort them.
Lastly a big thanks to the staff at The Birley Arms hotel http://www.thebirleyarms.co.uk/contact_birley_arms.htm who as always looked after us. I can recommend the mixed grill if you're struggling to choose from the menu next year !!
I'll sort a few photos out once I get a chance ...

Great photos Craig [emoji106][emoji106]

Would the photograph takers (Davy and Malcolm) have any objection to us adding some of these photos on to the Harry Fairbairn MINI Facebook page. Quite like a couple of them with the banner in the background and it would be some additional exposure promotion for NMS.

Firstly a huge thanks to Davy for the organisation, Bingo Hostery and banter.
Secondly a big thank you to each and every one of you that made the effort, without you there would be no shows.
Here's the few pics that I took. I'm not happy with most of them due to not checking the settings correctly before taking the pics.
[emoji22]
There are a few good ones in there somewhere and most were taken with the 10-18mm wide angle lens as I've never used it properly since buying it.

I'm finding that my "better" pics are the ones I take when I have no particular shot in mind.
I just wander about looking at different objects and reflections that I like, aim the camera at it and press the shutter button.

The 10-18 lens is a scary beast to use at first but when you get your head around which angle you can/can't use it for the results can be quite pleasing sometimes.

Received an email from Ian today at The Birley Arms saying thank you all for being so polite and "entertaining" over the weekend and for the couple of photos that I sent them for the lounge. The staff loved the atmosphere that NMS created during the stay and wanted me to pass on his thanks and he looks forward to seeing us again next year.
I mentioned the wee problems that you had been brought to my attention during our stay and hopefully they'll be rectified for next years stay
