The Lockdown Job Sunday 16th August

[MINI William]

In light of recent relaxations, there is increasing scope for organised events. Indeed a number of other enthusiast clubs have already resumed activities. As fellow MINI enthusiasts, we too are itching to get back out in our MINIs however, as a moderation team, we feel it best to hold off for just a little longer. Whilst there is sufficient freedom to enjoy a small outing, the normal requirements of an NMS run (such as a lunch stop and toilets) are not yet fully available. We also recognise that restrictions remain on social gatherings (currently up to 15 people) and that, as a group, we could quickly reach and breach this limit. There is also the consideration that an organised event may bring additional demands upon resources and services which are not yet fully operational.

We are however happy to pencil a provisional date in the diary for the not-too-distant future.

If all goes well, then our first post-lockdown run will take place on Sunday the 16th of August. We'd like to stress that this remains a provisional date for now pending the continued suppression of Covid-19 and the relaxation of lockdown restrictions.

To help us gauge interest, please let us know below if you'd like to attend and whether any passengers would be likely to attend with you. An indication of numbers will let us plan more accurately within the scope of any continuing restrictions.

Start Point is Eskbank Train Station EH22 3LD. Meet time is 10 for a 10:30 start

I have also attached a menu onto the first post for the Soutra Cafe that is our lunch stop on Sunday. They are currently operating a takeaway service but have arranged seating outside for ourselves at the cafe. I have been asked that for anyone wishing to have lunch at the cafe that they preorder so they can have everything ready for us arriving, can everyone have orders to me by Friday please. Feel free to bring a packed lunch if you wish but the food at the cafe is amazing.
