Chichester mini club's very own Club run!!!!

Okay guys we've been going strong for a year now and it is about time we had our own event, problem being we cant afford the insurance for an actual event so we're going to do a cluub run instead!!
We want to start in Chichester and head to a picnic spot in convoy....so far we've thought of the new forest or the devil's dyke (nr brighton) But if anyone has any other ideas where we can go on some nice driving roads aare welcome....
so please post ideas/comments below and by the end of the month we should have our final plan set out so we can publisise the event both locally and nationally to teh mini community as we plan to do it one sunday in august
SO get your thinking caps on guys!
Oh and the event is going to be free to participate, everyone can bring their own picnic! But we will take donations on the day which will be given to a local charity seems we are a local club
Steve prefers the Devils Dyke as a destination so what do you all thimk??

I think it sounds like a brilliant idea. I'm well up for it.
Not sure about places to go though, don't really know anywhere around here. Haha

good plan...i was thiking it would be really great if we got people to show up from about 8 30 am and have loads of minis parked up in the car park for local people to come c and c what chimini club is all about...we can easily advertise locally...if we did wittering we could have people come c the minis there too

laura taking from your idea were looking at a more local route ending up in the witterings...were gonna have to drive them before hand obviously checking for stuff we wouldnt c on a map and writting directions or the run!

here's a route for your idea laura

obviously we will drive the route soon and check its all good, and produce directions but we need to pick a route first

heres a route for the devil's dyke idea

on west wittering destinaton idea, i could have a word with the chaps down there and see whether they could do free parking for all run people (usin vouchers or summit) next to sea, (along the lines of the idea that it will be a charity run that is lol)

yer that would be good tom if you could

i think this is a really good idea .... i was going to try and plan a run for the week end 24th/15th of july for my birthday week end as it would be really nice to shear it with all you other mini people what do u think ???

Great Idea. Wittering would be a good place to have it as it will get Chi Mini Club on the map

24th/25th

right people we need to make decisions for this is everyone liking the wittering idea?

what day of the week do people think a sunday?

feedback asap please

Witterings sounds good, and a Sunday would be better too.

sounds gud

Yes Sunday would be good for me too.

Just a few ideas, make sure it is well known it is not a race and speeds are kept down as some minis are not turbos or supercharged , and has anyone ever heard of a poker run ? up to 52 minis can take part and all thats needed is 10 people to help out 5 decks of cards and 260 envelopes and 5 buckets .( maybe see if any mini shop will donate a nice prize ) The rules are simple, have 5 stops along the route with 2 people at each stop handing out the envolpes and the bucket for a donation for your envelope, by the end of the run each car entered will have 5 envelopes with a card in each one as the picnic starts just everyone opens their own envelopes and whoever has the best poker hand wins the prize. The cost will be almost nil as cards can come from a pound shop, near anything can work for a donation box, unsure about envelopes, and if we get a nice donation for the prize it will be near all profit or even just have donations for the things needed then it's 100% profit i will get the cards if this idea flies

I love this idea but things have to get on the push asap as there will be loads of work anyone want to meet up on Sunday the 25th to discuss dates route fund raising and what organization we will be donating to ? and anything else that needs talking about. someone step up pick a place to meet to get this moving i will help as much as possible but i also work shifts and weekends so my time is slightly all over the shop i'm off this sunday but start at 3 am monday so not to late would be best for me on sunday

kev its club meet on the 25th anyway

right date has been picked for the chichester mini club run

we agreed on august and a sunday previously

problem is the 8th is southern mini days and the 15th is minis in the park

so that means we better do our event on

sunday 22nd of august

as the weekend after is reading and most mini owners are alternative

Sounds good steve can it also include a joint b day piss up 4 us lol

If the club is getting insurance is it still going to be a run or would the run end up turning into a show? Does anyone want to step up and take charge i am willing to help as much as possible but things do have to get moving so advertizing can happen to get the word out

I thought Becci was meant to be organising it???
