Can we have sandwiches please or are we 2 late ? Anything but no egg
A friend who is a BARC marshal has offered me a free complimentary weekend ticket to the Silverstone F1. I am going to take him up on his offer so, sadly, I’m no longer going to be able to make this event.
I’m gutted that I won’t be able to catch up with old friends but there will be other chances in the future I’m sure.
I hope everyone who is going has a brilliant time.
I’ve told T, and I’m sure he’s delighted he won’t have to put up with my snoring! [emoji23]

For anyone who is heading down to MMM on the Saturday that isn’t attending Malcolm’s funeral can you please make your own way to The Birley Arms.
I’ll speak with Davy about rooms but sure that they are sorted so won’t be a problem for you getting your room key.
Is it possible I can get the hotel address so I can start planning time wise what time I need to leave Edinburgh in the morning at.
Cheers
Davy
The hotel address is
Bryning Lane
Warton
Preston
PR4 1TN
Rooms won’t be ready until nearer 3pm as they’ve got a full house on the Friday.

Thanks Davy.
Not. Long to go now. Really looking forward to the show
Yes looking forward to my first MMM [emoji846]
We move in to our new house on the Friday so it's going to be a bit hectic [emoji23]

Defo looking forward to this now, just need to find a day/evening to clean the car, most likely going to be Friday evening.
Davy

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.
Davy
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!
Davy
I’ve just finished washing Rocky and I’m now just putting this behind the passenger seat.
[emoji1303]
All I need to remember now is me, Rocky and mi wallet full of Cider Vouchers.

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.
Oby washed than polished today. Still need to finish it but had to go to work [emoji853]

Cleaned to the best of my limited ability, so will be clean leaving Guildford!
250-odd miles later tomorrow may not look so flash!
Safe travels, all! :-)

Looks good T ... Crombers box of goodies appears to be paying dividends [emoji23]
Looking good T see you soon
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.
[emoji35]
It’s the only rain that we’ve had all day.
[emoji30]
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...

To make matters worse she puked all over the back seats of the mini [emoji24]
Sorry to hear that mate, hope Alice gets better soon.
Davy

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

Me and Bess are having a little cool down in Dundee. Temps were staying a little high for my liking. Coolant flush when I get home I thinkhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3498a97191.jpg

Thanks for a lovely night away guys, always love this trip! Maybe one year we won’t have a show on our anniversary and I’ll get a meal out ������
Enjoyed the fun on the way up, starting to like that clubbie a bit more now
What sort of temps were you seeing
Had a great time at my first MMM... love these NMS nights away and good to be properly involved in a ‘show’.
Oh, and that wee car of yours actually turned out pretty well, William [emoji1787]. Hella quick too but I did still win...
You get a an anniversary meal out every year ... with us all lolQuote:

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.

Great photos William.
Fantastic day, well worth getting up early for, but Defo next year going to come down the day before. Badly sunburnt as well I think, had to laugh at you all getting fuel, I managed to get as far as hillend ski slope before I chickened out and splashed and dashed it at 23 miles left.
Took hundreds of photos so slowly going to upload these to my Instagram page @davyminiboy so have a wee look out over the next few days.
Davy
... yeah it’s become a habit now and a lot easier (and cheaper) fuelling up before heading back Davy rather than playing fuel roulette nearer to home ...Quote:
