Even a Marcos on the back of a trailer would be acceptable!

Extra information about accommodation is now in the http://www.westernminis.com main page.

If there is enough interest, there will be a Saturday evening run starting from Clarenbridge, finishing back at the Clarenbridge Court Hotel where some entertainment will be laid on, so even if you don't make it for the run, come along for the craic and the banter.

Will there be on-site catering e.g. chip van and if it's piddling rain, will we be able to stand indoors somewhere?

The weather wouldn't bother the Moke lads but it might put off others.

if it rains my car will rust and if it's a scorcher my engine will explode with the heat...it's a dilemma..ah no i'm gonna make it either way..,, sure those moke lads can just drive across land...some won't need accomation as some of the mocks have a tent as a roof.. some made of lego ...i not really a fan of the moke car, they look a tad bit strange for my liking... http://www.topendsports.com/moke/mokepics.htm

Hanging on as a back seat passenger is even more craic, especially an English Moke, they have slippy seats :-D

The moke is the only club mini that has successfully transported eight (maybe more) club members around numerous IMM's. The Elf actually managed a Autotest with 10+ in it in Germany.

Woody,
How come it didn't work for us at the IMM in Salou, Spain?

Apologies to the Wertern Region, but I don't think I will be able to make across to the National Mini Day. I hope it goes well for you and that you have a great day after all the work you have put into it.
