Thank You Thank You Thank You Crombers & Karen for once again reminding me why I’ve been a (small) part of the NMS Family (for that is what it is) for 18 years - it’s certainly been good for me, apart from the odd unexpected deflation - not to mention my tyre this weekend! I’ve said it before, a Mini hasn’t fulfilled its true purpose if it hasn’t been on an NMS run, and a Mini Owner hasn’t experienced a true ‘Mini Adventure’ if they haven’t experienced a few days away with NMS. It was SO good to see everybody again after the horrible time we’ve all experienced and are hopefully coming out of. From the driving to the ridiculous banter, from the hugely appreciated organisation to displays of indomitable spirit - you know who you are… I’ll be washing the road grime off the ELFmobile tomorrow, but the memories - as usual - will be indelible. Stay Safe everybody, and let’s do it again before too long.

ps I’ve just sorted through my Goodie Bag, thanks folks!

Thank you to Crombers and his very special partner in crime Karen for the wonderful weekend, amazing roads and fantastic company. I had a wonderful time catching up with everyone and I am so grateful to you all my NMS family, for Alex and Gill getting me there in the first place, for Mini Mum and Brian keeping an eye on my rear end and for everyone else's patience while I'm learning to drive solo on roads I would normally have been shouting at Malcolm to slow down because he was shaking me all over the place, as Crombers explained it's called uneven roads and surfaces. (Who knew) I just thought Malcolm's was driving ****e on these runs. Learn something new every day. Arrived home safe, sound and knackered again thanks to Alex and Gill. Hope you all enjoyed the final run but I realised I had done as much as I could, you may now think of me as the newbie and not the one who has been here forever. The one with no volume control Mini Mum or on off button. A huge thanks to you all NMS

You done a fantastic job. Onto the next one now.

What can I say peeps, it has been an absolute pleasure to organise.
To have been a part of this club for 17 years has become a great sense of contentment in my & Karen's lives.
We have met so many great people over the years and the bond with some are for life.
As William & Brian have alluded to it's not the cars it's the people (although the MINI does have a strong staring role), & as we hopefully head out of our lives being on hold, I genuinely trust that NMS, will be a big part of our future whether it be with new members or old, or some returning to the fold.

Special mention to our resident NMS Mom xx , you did so well & have my vote of driver of the trip, well done you xx

Great pics William .
