March Madness Run 29th March 20

[MINI William]

March wouldn’t be March without a madness run.

Im going to use a new route for this years run to spice it up a little. Don’t worry though there will still be great roads that we can all enjoy and I’m trying to plan in a nice lunch stop.

Meet time will be 10am for a 10:30 start at IKEA Straiton. If anyone needs to get breakfast the IKEA cafe will be open or if anyone needs petrol there is a Costco across from IKEA or an Asda just up the road.

William, put me down as a ‘possible’ for this one please. Apparently 29th March is the start of British Summertime. I’ll believe that when I see it... probably through the pouring rain!

That’s the route sorted and if I do say so myself quite a good one. Run notes will be posted over the next few days and I’ll get the start location and time posted later this evening.

[Track Ali]

Looking forward to it!

Nothing in your post? Are you looking to put your name down for the run?

[EKJCWGal83]

Young MINI fans are always welcome. :yes nod:

We bring our little one Arwen (18 months) whenever we can.

Aw that’s great! Can’t wait!

[EKJCWGal83]

That’s great thanks for that

[MINI William]

What are people’s wanting to do with the this run due to ongoing coronavirus? Do we want to postpone the run until a later date or carry on as planned? I’m not wanting to panic people but in light of so many people being advised to self isolate, I just want to get everyone’s thoughts. Happy to carry on as planned due to everyone being in their own cars.

[Crombers]

I'd leave it until late next week to see where we all are news wise. Unfortunatley who knows what's round the corner

[DigitalLemming]

I'd say make a call on it next friday, the only part I can see being an issue is the lunch stop, we could solve this by everybody bringing a lunch with them and either eating in the cars or finding a picnic spot if the weather is decent.

[MINI William]

I think in light of recent government guidelines I’ll be postponing the run until a later date just to be on the safe side as I would hate for some to become ill due to catching it at the run

[badwolf340]

Probably the correct decision

[ELFMAN]

Totally agree. Even putting the obvious ‘non-essential’ travel and health risks aside, how would it look having a group of Minis out on a ‘Jolly’ while folks are confined to their homes, losing jobs and lets face it, dying...? NOT a good image for the club. I think cancelling was the only viable option. Stay safe everybody, wash your hands and cross your fingers.

[James469]

Totally agree with you William
