MEGA MINI MEET 2019 ** 14 JULY 2019 **

[EcosseGP]

Firstly let me say to all NMS members that attended this years Mega MINI Meet a massive well done. The turn out was excellent and the cars displayed on the stand were a credit to you all. You all deserved the “Club Stand” trophy but now is the difficult bit ... we’d like to try and retain it, so who’s for going back ?

I know it’s a long way off and I’m not really thinking about the 2019 show season but after this years success I'm looking to see who's interested in attending.

Next years show will be held a week later on Sunday 7th July 2019 and it's our intention as usual to head down on the morning of Saturday 6th July and come back after the show finishes (usually around 4pm).

As always anyone who feels like attending is free to pop down for the day itself and attend the show if they'd rather so don't feel pressured into staying on the Saturday night if that doesn’t suit. We will need numbers later on for the club stand if you’re planning on popping down on the Sunday morning. This is to allow the organisers to allocate us a space appropriately. The Saturday night, as happened again this year, does usually turn out to be an entertaining night one way or another though.

The show is again being held at Lytham St Anne's and NMS have attended the show for the past few years. No club has won the club stand trophy two years in a row that I can recall so the pressure is on.

Accommodation has been arranged and the same hotel as previous years has been booked. The hotel is literally a few miles away from the venue and it has secure parking and has served us well over the past few years.

If you’re thinking about attending and staying I will require a £30 deposit (non refundable) to reserve a room. Room prices have increased for 2019 but I’ve managed to negotiate another deal at £80 (2017 prices) per twin/double room. The deposit will be required by the end of August but I’ll allocate a room for those interested in attending meantime.

Please remember the number of rooms is limited so don't delay, check your diaries and don't be afraid to come along and join in the fun.

If you’re lucky enough to have a two MINI family then why not bring them both ... let’s try and get a record number of NMS MINIs on the stand next year.

The hotel we use 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.

Also don’t worry if you've never been to a show before there are now a large number of regular show goers who will all lend a hand getting the cars organised and sorted.

All details will be added to this first post as and when they become available or are confirmed. Entry to the show is usually pay on the gate and is around £5.

Names

1. Brian / Christina (2 cars) - deposit paid - paid in full
2. William / Megan (2 cars) - deposit paid - paid in full
3. Davy / Cat (2 cars) - deposit paid - paid in full.
4. Pete - deposit paid - paid in full.
5. Andrew - deposit paid - paid in full.
6. Stuart/ Lynn - deposit paid - paid in full.
7. Chloe - deposit paid - paid in full
8. Eddie - deposit paid - paid in full.
9. Mark - deposit paid -
10. Ali/Laura (plus one) - deposit paid - paid in full.
11. Alistair - deposit paid - paid in full.
12. Stoney - deposit paid - paid in full.
13. T/ Hutch deposit £20. - paid in full.
14. Dave / Fiona - paid in full.
15. Matt - paid in full.
16. Jack - paid in full.

INFO/UPDATE (per post 123) - Right folks a quick update it was suggested that we organise food, drink, etc to take to the show. After a quick moderators meeting regarding it, it was agreed that it would be easier for people to take their own stuff to save us having too much, which is inevitably what always happens.

However, I spoken to the hotel and if folk wish we can get fresh sandwiches made up at a cost of £5 per head for the Sunday, with the fillings being simply plain cheese, ham, chicken, etc.

If you are interested in this then please let me know now as I’ll need to order them with the hotel prior to going so they can get enough made. The £5 per person would not need to be paid until we arrive (I’ll collect that on the Saturday). I only require replies from those who want to be included in the order ...

NOTE- There will be food stalls at the venue as usual it’s just sometimes very limited as to what you can purchase and last years sandwich fest seemed to be very well received by those attending.

Literally “food for thought” about next years meet - do you fancy trying to do an SCS type thing where we take our own food, drink etc. It would require a bit of sorting but I’m sure it’s possible providing we don’t go over the top. We can discuss it in full later but any thoughts I’m happy to note down ...

[EcosseGP]

^^ of course this is just for the hotel rooms Kerry. If the worst comes to the worst then the Premier Inn at Preston is literally 5 miles down the road (Fraser and Jenny stayed there this year)

[kez_1871]

fab will get the premier inn again if all rooms are full anyways, not to far away

[ELFMAN]

B****cks! Late again! Permanently distracted by life in general... Reserve List please Davy...

[EcosseGP]

Elfman like Kerry says the Premier Inn is just down the road if you feel like joining us. I’m sure you can sort out a wee run if need be for the evenings entertainment.
Be good to have you along.
You’re on the hotel reserve list for now anyway [emoji106]

Just been posted on Facebook that they’ve changed the date to the 14th, something about a mess up with dates.

A good chance this’ll clash with SCS now

[MINI William]

As we said at this years MMM we as a club would pick MMM over SCS any day of the week

[weefossy]

Hope the hotel are OK with the change.....fingers crossed.

[M600-RKJ]

Hope things can get sorted out. I personally would much rather got to MMM than SCS. Next week will only be my 3rd SCS but not much seems to change year to year. Best part of the day is the banter in the club which can happen anywhere car show or not

[badwolf340]

It’s about the number of available rooms for new date

[ELFMAN]

Presumably in the worst-case scenario, if limited, hotel accommodation could be ‘reserved’ for those folks who want to attend but can’t travel ‘on the day’ as those of us within reach feasably can? Don’t know if that’s workable though?

[Crombers]

If rooms are going to be scarce then we'll drop out as we are really coming along more for the social 'overnighter' rather than the show itself. It would only be fair to let those who prefer shows to get 'first dibs'

[EcosseGP]

^^^ stop showing off in front of your pals !!!

[EcosseGP]

Right some calm has been restored and we are nearly back on track. This event no doubt will clash with next years SCS (given previous years dates) so if you’d rather go to SCS than MMM we understand.

Please let me know though if you have your name down but would rather attend the SCS.

However, after our club stand win this year everyone that got in touch with me regarding MMM change of date expressed their preference to go to MMM over SCS.

So in light of this ...

I have been in touch with Rachel who has confirmed that the date for MMM is 14th July 2019.

I have also been in touch will the hall who have confirmed that MMM is scheduled to take place on 14th July 2019 as it’s the only date they have free.

I’ve also managed to speak to the hotel and the good news is I’ve managed to move all the rooms to a week later, Saturday 13th July 2019. So everyone with their name down can “go to the ball”.

All this might seem very trivial looking from the outside in however, there was another stumbling block that will be revealed all in good time. I’d just like to personally say a big thanks to “The Gavins” for assisting in making my life easier for re-organising our attendance at MMM.

So on this note please amend the date in your diary for MMM 2019 from 7th to the 14th July 2019 and let me know if you’ve changed your mind, would prefer to go to SCS or are now unable to attend.

Please accept my apologies for the delay in getting back to you all. The change of date issue was totally out with our hands, but has caused us a little bother as we’d sorted out the hotel early on to make sure we got back in again. Thank you all for you patience and apologies have been sent from the booking staff at Lytham Hall.

[CiderFex]

I’m definitely still up for this Davy.

OK folks but sorry to be the bearer of bad news. August has been and gone and due to one thing or another I forgot to follow this up. So here goes ... there’s still a few folk outstanding on the hotel deposit list of £30. Could I ask that if you’ve not paid can you sort this out at your earlier convenience before I start chasing those outstanding on the list up.
I appreciate it’s probably coming at the wrong time of year but looking to get the deposits up to date before the end of November.
Thanks in advance.

They’ll be some updates (and payments unfortunately) regarding this coming shortly so can I ask everyone who’s got their names down to keep an eye open.
I need to update the show organisers regarding the total number of cars that we are taking in order for them to allocate spaces. So can I ask if you’re taking more than one car can you let me know and I’ll compile numbers and let the organisers know.
If anyone else would like to join us for the day or the trip please let me know (I may have another spare room) ...

[Twisterboy]

Davy - I'm coming for the day, just going drive down early doors, so stick me down for a day tripper and I will keep a eye out regarding payments and fire cash over.

[ELFMAN]

Just noticed I’m still on the hotel Reserve List. Looking back, arrangements for this at the time seem to have coincided with my ‘social life’ becoming quite hectic and it obviously fell right off my radar... Apologies for any confusion! I’ll be taking friends from Norwich around various bits of the Scotland in July, so obviously I’m no longer even on the ‘Sub’s Bench’ for this one. Have a great time everybody!

[MINI William]

Plenty space for this folks. The list on the front page is for the hotel. There’s lots of hotels near by or it’s only a few hours down the road.

[EcosseGP]

Right folks unfortunately that time has come again where I’ll need to ask you for money. We need to settle the hotel bill and it makes for a lot less hassle when we arrive. Some have paid the deposit and if you’ve done that then I just require the balance of £50 please. There are one or two that are still due the full amount of £80.

If for any reason you now can longer attend please let me know ASAP.

I know that one car will be heading down on the day to join the stand if any one wants to do the same then please let me know and I’ll allocate club stand space too.

Full details regarding the meeting point, etc will be detailed after the weekend moderators metering. It is likely to be as in previous years though (Abington services).

DavyHaha yeah you could be right [emoji23]

Yeah I think the only time I have to clean will be Saturday morning. [emoji85]

There’ll be enough time on Sunday morning to get it fettled up to Show Shine levels.
[emoji41]
By the time I get there I’ll have covered around 501 miles so I know that mine will be in dire need of a fly removal and brake dust clearing session....

Well I have seen the times for clubs to get in from about 8.30am, so my plan that I'm thinking for sunday is leaving Edinburgh about 3am!!:argh::argh: as AA Route plan says about 3hours 40 mins, so allowing a stop most likely Southwaite I'm aiming to be at the hotel for about 7.30 to meet up with you all, this is also to allow time in case I get lost (which will prob happen) and a potential Mcdonalds Stop, then hopefully when I get there a quick wipe over and chill..... What sort of time are you thinking of leaving Hotel at if it's earlier, then I can amend my timings again.

I've just had a wee look at the weather and it's looking good [emoji41]

Better bring the sun cream then.......

Well got mine washed and waxed last night, so hoping it's the case of wipe over when I get down!

I’ve just finished washing Rocky and I’m now just putting this behind the passenger seat.

Done all I can do in the time that I had. I’m sure it’ll get a good going over once we get down there. I’ll get organised once I finish the back shift all going well.

It looks better than mine will by the time I get there.
I cleaned it today and just as I set off from the Shell Station in Retford, after filling up, it pished it down non-stop for the 5 mile drive back home.

It’s the only rain that we’ve had all day.

By the time I get to The Birley Arms tomorrow I will have covered at least 501 miles but I’ll be very much in need of alcohol by the time I get there so there may just have to be a salvage operation on Sunday morning...

Just in the door and have uploaded some of todays pictures.

A huge thank you to Davy for organising this weekend and also a huge thank you to everyone who came along to make it such a great weekend.

The show did seem a touch quieter this year and our stand was made a little compact by it also doubling up as a car park but all in all a great day.

A huge well done to all the show winners including Mersey MINI Club for best Cub Stand and also our very own Stuart for coming runner up in best new MINI.

I hope I've got a picture of everyone's car

Well another MMM comes and goes ... as NMS members always do we enjoy ourselves whatever things throw at us.

As Ali had mentioned we did have a few things that didn’t go to plan this year and I’m sure we’ll get back on track and have it running smoothly again for 2020.

A big thanks to all the folk at LMR that put on today’s “meet” and although it was a bit smaller and quieter than usual it didn’t lessen the camaraderie that the show has over the years represented. Maybe a clash of dates with certain other events had a lot to do with this.

Congratulations to Mersey MINI Club for taking the Club Stand trophy. A stand that stood out this year and certainly had the numbers to stand out that bit more than everyone else.

Well done to Stuart and Chloe for taking the runner up prize in the Modern MINI category. I’ll leave you to fight over who takes the credit for the hard work lol.

Thank you to Julie at The Birley Arms for looking after us all despite some issues. I know we can be hard work at times but she always loves us being there and asked me to pass on her thanks to you all for the atmosphere oh bring to the hotel. She loves the buzz we create and would love to have us back next year. Plus she probably likes the fact we can clear out her stock of cider in one evening !

My biggest thanks is to everyone that attended the event. I was approached by two people today who said they loved coming over to the NMS stand and looking round the cars. They said we always had some different cars and that all the cars on the stand are usually immaculately turned out. They also mentioned that club members were always willing to stop what they were doing and chat about the cars and mentioned that NMS was a credit to the MINI scene. Looking around the stand today I couldn’t agree more ...

Sorry to those that for one reason or another couldn’t make the trip, fingers crossed that you can join us next year.

“Happy 21st Birthday” Chloe. Thank you for sharing your special day with us all ...

Due to one thing and another I didn’t get the camera out until a bit later than usual so I didn’t take many photos and the ones that I did take I was distracted by people messing about (you know who you all are lol).

So I’ll have a flick through them and see what I can post for you ...

“Thank you” all once again and let’s hope for a stronger turnout next year and another club stand trophy.

Thank you to Davy for the organisation once again but it was a huge shame that Cat was not there with her normal laughter inducing B.B. malarkey and crazy conversations about gambling.
A huge thank you to all of you that were in attendance, the cars all looked stunning once again.
As you all know yesterday was an especially long and very tiring day for me by the time we got to The Birley Arms you all helped me through it to the end, thank you.

I personally really enjoyed the drive down because I normally just fly solo to the MMM and have a steady 2 hour 120 mile cruise as opposed to an NMS Convoy to get there.
[emoji4]
I do have to apologise to you all that I did not get Rocky up to its normal state of cleanliness. I did try my best on the day but the people who wanted to know about Rocky didn’t want a chat, they wanted a full blown lecture instead.
lol
At the end of the day it didn’t bother me at all because it is a big part of a show and you can’t tell them to go away ‘cos you’re too busy cleaning.
I’m sorry that the setting up of the stand did not go as quickly as planned but you all know that we had a few “unexpected guests” to contend with which didn’t help us out to get it sorted as smoothly as we’d have liked.
It was great to also have been a part of Chloe’s 21st birthday and William & Megan’s anniversary celebrations as well.

I didn’t take many pics but I’ll post them up as soon as I’ve downloaded them from the camera.

I really enjoyed yesterday and as you say Pete people coming up and chatting, I had a guy that spoke to me for nearly a hour, not a Mini Owner but his daughter told him there was something on and he pitched up, got his life story, how many cars he had owned, what he drives currently, jobs he had done, really nice chap but I think he heard we had rolls and was waiting on getting some Lunch.

I always find the cakes ... to the point where I actually found a slab of icing on Saturday night and even ‘shared’ it lol [emoji23]

He did share, I can confirm this for anybody that doubts it.... I was as shocked as you all :p

It didn’t happen without photographic evidence.
We know of a few instances where the pictures have proved the occurrence of a particular incident beyond any doubts at all.

And was again like at oxford Bess was stroked by almost everyone at the show. Thank God you cant leave finger prints on satin

Guilty [emoji23] can confirm for anybody that didn’t give it a stroke that it feels as good as it looks

No worries, will see I can pop some up later once I get home from work and the inlaws... I know that all NMS cars are at the end of photo taking.

Great photos, looking forward to seeing more (I’m not on Facegram or Instabook either!).

Rob & Christine, hope wee Sam’s doing ok after his accident!

It was a great day Craig.

For anyone who hasn’t been to MMM before it’s a great day out and shouldn’t be missed.

[Twisterboy]

Right for some reason I cannot get my photobucket to work to share, has been a while since I last used it.

Anyhow I have stuck Our cars on my Facebook Car Club Page, which does not require a account to view them.

Feel free to download them.

Once again MMM has come and gone for another year. I love that show, although the numbers this year were definitely down, a little disappointing but the quality of cars this year was quite impressive.

As always the company is the best part of MMM and the night before was as enjoyable as the show itself with plenty of laughter.

I want to apologise for the condition of my car, I wasn't going to touch it but the rain on the way down meant I had to, and since I had no willpower or any of my wash equipment it got a quick snow foam and rinse. I knew I'd have been left with water spots but it was better than it was when we arrived. Ps I f***ing hate black cars [emoji23]

Thanks again Davy for organising this!

[Eddie_JCW]

Rob hope Sam's leg heals quickly... definitely like father like son PMSL
