    50 years of MINI at Silverstone is now less than one WEEK away & the web page has developed somewhat since first launched :

    Run Notes


    MINI United 2009

    Also on Silverstone's Official Site :

    Silverstone

    I have spoken to Craig & invited him to adopt the 'advisory position' so that his invaluable experience on such epic run's can be leaned upon

    Shedule

    Leaving Bothwell Services @ 07:30hrs

    Abington 'non splash & dash' TBA

    Pit Stop at Southwaite Services @ 09:00hrs

    Lunch at Huntleys of Salmesbury @ 11:00hrs (breakfast menu finishes 11:45am)

    Pit Stop at Norton Canes Services (M6 Toll) @ 13:30hrs * Remember £4.50 for the toll*

    Arrive Northampton @ 15:30hrs approx, ahead of THE rush hour/s

    Current plan is to convoy down on Thurs 21st May getting to Northampton/Silverstone area around 15:30pm for the first overnight stay (heck we might even grab a beer or two). En route we will have the usual pit stops but safe to say we will be popping into Huntley's for some nosebag. For those who have not been before, feast yer eyes HERE. I have also posted on Northern MINI that we are en route down & opened up the invite to join us at Huntley's for some scran or join up with us for the rest of the route.

    Friday 22nd May - Go to Show

    Sat 23rd May - Go to Show

    Sunday 24th - Show again, then long drive home getting back late.
    (I will not be part of this as I am going to head off to visit family in Hertfordshire on the Saturday evening, but Stoney has kindly offered to get everyone back up the road safely)

    Suggested Hotel is HERE

    If you select the Best Flexible rate, then you can cancel it up until 4pm on the day you arrive, it's only if you select Advance Purchase rate that it is not cancellable. This puts the price up to £222 for the 3 nights. (Still good value IMHO)

    Updated names 18/5 - Thus far we have the following peeps booked into hotels or have made alternative travel/accomodation arrangements :

    2. Fairy (Hotel Booked - Travelodge Northampton)
    4. Grandma & Grandpa (Hotel Booked - Holiday Inn Express Northampton)
    5. Neil & Lorna (Hotel Booked - Holiday Inn Express Northampton)
    10. Crombers (Hotel Booked - Holiday Inn Express Northampton) Thurs & Fri
    11. Stoney & Christine (Hotel Booked - Holiday Inn Express Northampton)
    16. Duncan Stewart & Helen (Hotel Booked - Holiday Inn Express Northampton) Fri & Sat
    25. Davidson 1 & 2 (Hotel Booked - Travelodge Northampton)
    27. V500EMA +1 (Hotel Booked - Holiday Inn Express Northampton)
    31. MINIWilliam (Hotel Booked - Holiday Inn Express Northampton)
    32. Birdog (aiming to be at Bothwell Services for 07:30 / Hotel Booked - Holiday Inn Express Northampton)

    = 10 MINI Convoy

    Meeting us down there are :

    3. Smitty (local commuter)
    7. AndyP & Lenore (International Jet Setters)
    13. RyanK (Other H I Express Booked) Fri & Sat

    Beer guest is :

    23. AeroJonny (not gonna make MINI Utd but might catch up for some grub)


    Can the remaining 'one' please indicate their updated intentions re the trip as your name is still listed as an attendee :

    21. RaKy07 + 1

    Cheers,
    Crombers

    Malcolm, I am sure Jude would prefer a "chum" on the plane. She won't get the friday off so will have to fly down on friday evening. :eyes up:
