Funny you should ask that!!!

We could do with some help with stewarding especially in the arena whilst acts are in progress. It will entail wearing a hi-vis jacket and "patroling" the area between the public and the act when the arena is in use.

The cops were less than enthusiastic about a convoy this year as it was a "drain on resources for an hour or so and these officers could be better placed elswhere"
I have yet to meet with the them and the emergency planning people but I will suggest that if the MINI convoy is not officially organised by us then it will more than likely happen anyway..... unofficially.....

I'll let you know

If it's the same as the previous years, everybody meets at various places (Stirling, Aberdeen, (Hermiston Gait? Edinburgh etc) then piles down to Dundee and into the cinema car park. Then when everybody's together we have a HUGE convoy to Arbroath, where Howard and the Police take over! :D

I hereby volunteer my services to lead the masses from Dundee to Arbroath if it's required again. :)

The A92 Dundee - Arbroath road is open again now (no need for the back roads (unless anybody *really* wants to ;):D) and the trip takes a lot less time now (approx 10-15 mins) on the Dual Carriageway !

The thread for meeting up and convoys will surely be along shortly... :D:cool:

[Sweeney]

ah fair enough :P

[Smitty]

back roads please LnL;)

[K18ARY]

Since I am the new boy I feel all shy asking:I Can I come along pretty please!

I will be coming from Greenock area, anyone else coming through from this way?

[Sweeney]

few from glasgow area i think (me being 1) probably be meeting others at stirling or somewhere i think though

As LnL said:

[Coop]

Ok then ;) I shall do so!
Will I keep it in this thread or do another one?

Tree73 - you better be meeting at Perth or I'm gonna look like a failure!!! :(


And if anyone is interested in meeting at Broxen then add you name to the list..........................................now.

1. Coop

[Burple]

Just a suggestion..
Maybe better starting a new thread, so you can keep all the names in the first post on the first page ;):D



..just makes it easier to keep up with :D

:D:cool::cool:

[X30YES]

Pick up areas listed in another thread Gla Ham C'nauld Stirling Perth/Edin , Dundee .ABZ TBA by AN OTHER (times to be posted later )

[Gismo]

Just a wee reminder to all that this topic generally attracts a lot of banter :p;) it makes it very difficult for the organiser to trawl through loads of posts seeking names to add etc :)
There is a thread here (http://www.newminiscotland.co.uk/snitzforums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7821) for arranging travel options etc

SUPER S

[Smurf]

It's not too late to add another one, is it?
Hadn't decided whether to come with you lot for a 3rd year, or take the classic with the Mini Clan...
But I've now heard that the Clan are joining up with you, and our classic really needs some work done, so the decision is now made to come along in the modern MINI again this year!
We'll be joining you all at Stirling, so I'll update the appropriate convoy thread too.

[Hadi]

Is there no flyers to print off for this event ?

[X30YES]

try getting a mail to Howard (shoppie) direct , its his show more or less .

[shoppie]

still here.. looking in now and again.

No flyers are available to print. Posters are due in the shops and tourist information centres during this week.

I see from a previous post the Mini Clan are teaming up again. Should be one long train of Minis in the convoy:D:D

There has been a slight change to the assembly point in Arbroath for us....
We will now meet at the Seaforth Hotel (now closed) car park. For those of you who have been before, it is the large Hotel in front of you after after you have gone under the railway bridge.
Therefore - Pass McDonalds and continue straight ahead. Turn right under the rail bridge at the mini roundabout. The hotel is in front of you.
Tayside's finest are short on resources so we have to cut out a few road junctions.:I

Can someone let the Clan know?

Graet day out for me to, good to see some old faces again, its been to long since my last run. :cool::cool::cool:

[Maxxed Ross]

Well folks cracking weather for a change! :D

Bit dissapointed with the amount of events though, not a patch on last year :blackeye:

On a more serious note I think I left my digi camera on the tartan rug behind Gill's mini. If anyone picked it up give me or big Gordy a shout please.

[s1mon]

Great day and cheers for letting me tag along, I kind of stuck out a little in amongst you all tho being the only non-mini there :D
Should have a mini by the next one hopefully!

[Maxxed Ross]

Sioban was "miffed" at not being there and disgusted that the "chuck wagon" wasn't emptied;)

[Crombers]

What a scortcher :cool: , once again a great day , good to see folks old & new , & thanks again to all those who organised :approve:

[Smurf]

Absolutely cracking day! Spent most of it sitting in the splitting sunshine behind my car, chatting! Excellent :D
Thanks to all who had a hand in the organising of the runs there - no mean feat.
Shame most of us missed the parade though..... ;)

We stayed to help the two crashed Clan minis, then realsied everyone else had gone and we didn't know where we were..... or where we should have been going...... headed for the main road and just sailed into Arbroath as the cops were going away from stopping the traffic from the parade. JUST missed it!

Saw the red barrows briefly - could see them running around on the grass from my seat behind the car. Thought they were just practising as there was no music or anything. Then they packed into their vans and left! :eek:

The Hunter jet was amazing, though it was a shame the Tornado wasn't there this year - that really left me speechless last year.

Cracking day out as always, Howard, a big thanks to all who organised!

[alanm73]

Great Day really enjoyed it and it was nice to put some faces to names as well.

Great run from Dundee to Arbroath good choice of road for the trip up.

Loads of very nice cars too put me in the mood to change mine a bit!!

Shame about the sunburn ouch!!

[Smitty]

Brilliant day guys!! Great to put faces to names and speak to a few of you's! Sorry for those i didnt meet, hard to spot people when not next to their MINI's!!:eek:;)

For those of you's that met Rosslyn, she says thank you for a lovely day and meeting some new people, and is now suffering badly from sunburn!:blackeye: I'll get her to post soon!:)

Feel very sorry for the two wee minis that had a bump on the way to Arbroath! Just aswell i stopped cuz don't think many other people knew where they were going!!:p

Had a lovely run home via back roads to Montrose, then Brechin.....blow the cobwebs out that gathered during the day!;)

Thanks again and see you all soon hopefully!!:D

[Wul]

Well it was good to see all the new and some old faces on Saturday - great weather - my wee foreheid is still a bit scorched!! :I

I saw the red barrows in action - about 5 mins of synchronised running about - different. think it was too hot for them though!!

Still disappointed in the lack of the 01 stickers on Gordies MINI - but never mind :p

Sorry to the 2 classic who bumped into each other - I was 4 cars back and waited a bit but saw Smurf had it in hand - lucky I did as the fossies et al were lost and I had to guide them in 8)

Also hi to the irate silver Zafira driver on the A92 - I see your lights and middle finger are in fine working order - pity about your temprament and patience mate -40 cars back from the front of a queue - was there any need for your actions!! :(

[Big Col]

Eh? A Zafira driver was giving the person at the back of a queue abuse? What a muppet!!!

[Burple]

What a day! :cool::cool:

A big well done to Howard et al for all the oraganising again!

We got there eventually :I

The Hunter was awesome, but we missed the Red Barrows!
Cracking weather for a nice day out at the beach! Just imagine how hot it would have been if we'd been inland!

Thanks to Allan for letting us see the sun a bit more close up. The looping flares are just darn cool! It felt like we were a LOT closer!!
:D:D

I've got a couple of pics, but not many really, I'll try and get them up a bit later when I get home
Los of stunning cars on show, good job everybody!!

That would be me and a few others - Basically we pulled to the outside lane in a 40 to pass a caravan on the inside lane - he was doing about 90 and ended up right up my behooky flashing his lights and showing "the bird" it was taking a while for us all to get passed so he decided to undertake us - with his offside wheels still in the outside lane - ie mirror to mirror then forced his way back in the outside lane. I believe he'd carved a few other MINI's up before he got to me also!!:mad::dead:

[Sweeney]

Nah just you wul, must've looked at him the wrong way or something ;)

[ScottishCooper]

Well, yet another year passes at Arbroath. . .
Must say that thought this year was better than last, apart from not making the cruize through the town. Was good to meet so many great members. Though I am terrible for names so if I spoke to you feel free to pm me.
Got a load of photos and will be posting them shortly.
Looking forward to the next one.

[shoppie]

Superb day yet again!! Hunter Jet did it for me:D:D

a big Thanks from me and the rest of the volunteers to all who made it through.

Sorry if I didn't speak to you all, I had a lot of clubs and traders to get round. Nice to see all the cars and owners again.
Great turnout!

Yes!!!!!! it will happen again next year. The cops have told us to avoid clashing with the Open Golf so might be early July next time around.

We must seriously consider making the word MINI from the parked cars though.

Any thoughts for acts or attractions for next year????

Red Arrows??......;)

Thanks again to all

[Sweeney]

Red arrows is a must! :p
Go karts? (Obviously logistical problems and track problems but would be worth it i think?)

Ooooooooooooooh, I like that idea !!!!!!!!! :D:cool::cool::cool:

Go karts? - shouldn't we just build a big track for the minis ! ;)

[Sweeney]

even better! :)

[Duncan Stewart]

Love the idea of spelling MINI with the Minis :D
How about a Spitfire or similar for next year? You can't beat the sound of a merlin :cool:

I'll make enquiries about a Spitfire and the Red Arrows then.....:D

[The Bull]

What about asking the 56 Sqn guys to bring the F3 again? That is always a sight to see and the Viccy Park is the perfect stage for them. They're only over the water!

I'll apply to RAF soon to see what we can get. I believe there is no Tornado F3 display now as the Eurofighter Typhoon has stepped into this role. Might get a flyby at least!!

Drat.. I was just about to mention that too, Instead of the F3, you should see if the guys from the Conversion squadron could do a display with the Typhoon! That's one LOOOUUUD beastie! :cool::cool::cool::D:D:D
