[AW11 Forever]

http://www.mr2mk1club.com/images/imported/2009/01/launchparty-1.jpg

As part of the ongoing makeover for the MK1 Club we plan on holding a pre-season launch party. This will give us an excuse to all get together and celebrate he launch of the new MK1 Club, website, members paks, regalia, etc, it wll also give non members at the time an opportunity to come along and meet Club members for the 1st time before joining, they will of course have the opportunity to join the Club there and then.

Details are a little sketchy at the moment but I can tell you it's going to be a cracking weekend of club fun! If you are interested in attending please add your name

2009 Launch Party

[waynestoyotamr2]

I will be there Mik - you know that.

[crazylegs]

Sounds good. I will probably get there on Sat for the run and dinner.

[spudgun]

In principal it sounds a good idea and I could well be up for it. I will keep the date clear for now.
I will keep my eye on this one.

[unowho]

Is there alcohol? Yep will be there

[unowho]

Right back from shopping, no not retail therapy!!! Don't do that, Yuk!

Now on the case of sorting out a location and hotel for our "little do" in March

Watch this space ;)

[AW11 Forever]

Nice one Deb's

I would imagine we could see potential numbers around the 40 figure. We need a good hotel with dining/dinner facility centrally located and easy to navigate to. If we could get a side room for free for the mini AGM that would be magic!

Its worth thinking about the run out in the afternoon. Is it worth considering the Mickleover again, I bet we can get a cracking deal if there is going to be a large booking. For the Saturday afternon run we could have a run up to Chatsworth Park...

Thoughts

[unowho]

Well, wittled it down to two I reckon, International Hotel, Derby, www.internationalhotlederby (http://www.internationalhotlederby) and of course Mickleover Court, www.menzies-hotels.co.uk/hotels/derby/m ... over-court (http://www.menzies-hotels.co.uk/hotels/derby/menzies-mickleover-court). Both ringing back with group booking details, so should have something positive by Monday, soooooo watch this space

Debs
National Events Co-ordinator

[pkmr2]

Hi all what a great idea. That was a fab hotel we stopped at in Dec Debs!

Pete.

[AW11 Forever]

Great suff Debs at least we are out of the starting blocks.

Have you told the hotels how much we can drink!

So in a nutshell we are looking for a deal of 2 x nights B and B in double/twin/single rooms with optional dinner in the restaurant.

I would expect a figure of around £90 per couple or £80 for single room for that deal at that time of year, bargain hard Deb's there will be plenty of hotels begging for our business.

Either hotel we choose we could have a trip up to Chatsworth Park in the Mk1's or if anyone wants to come up with suggestions, local knowledge anyone?

[waynestoyotamr2]

Fantastic work!

I like the look of the International Hotel in Derby

We've been to the Mickleover, come on guys, lets do something fresh!

[AW11 Forever]

Spot on rooms £90 for 2 nights, just as predicted, although I still think we can get a better discount if we bargain very, very hard and Deb's you are just the person to do it!

[AW11 Forever]

Hold it, here comes an announcement

'' 24 hour bar ''

Jobs a gud-un!

[waynestoyotamr2]

24 hour bar?

We can put Kingsnorth on the list then!

I am not rooming with him this time though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Derby International looks a great option Debs.

[AW11 Forever]

At £90 for a weekend room, eee, yea!

Deb see if we can still get it cheaper thought, £75 for the weekend seems about right for such a big group, looking for about 15 rooms at least.

[Tony Jinxy Froude]

Jesus !!!, cant believe how quick this has taken off :shock: :D im there guys :lol: you lot cant party without the "Jinxmeister" being there !!

[AW11 Forever]

Jinx stoppit

[unowho]

Right, doing a sneaky at work ;)
Have heard back from both Hotels, details as follows;

Mickleover Court -
Friday Night £90.00 per room (Double/Twin) B & B, Single £65.00
Saturday Night £130.00 per room (Double/Twin) B & B & Dinner, Single £75.00
Meeting Room £100.00

International Hotel -
Friday and Saturday £35.00 per room, per night, B & B
Dinner on Saturday Night £16.00 per person
Meeting Room £50.00

Well I think we should go for International Hotel, Spoke to Christine and drove a hard bargain :P
If so, we could start booking now, best if we ring (01332 369321) individually as easier, due to debit/credit card numbers etc., Booking Ref: MK1 AGM

I know I'll be booking tonight :D

Any questions do not hesitate to contact me

Debs
Natiaonal Events Co-ordinator

[AW11 Forever]

Right I'm booking tonight, thats amazing value £70 for a weekend double room.

Excellent work deb's

What does the Saturday dinner consist of, is there a menu on offer, can we get a couple of huge table's with everyone on together.

Off to find where Jo ha hidden MY credit card.

[AW11 Forever]

Yep, easy, peezie!

All booked up, they couldn't believe that we got that deal for 2 nights.

£70

Top stuff..

[waynestoyotamr2]

I shall book tomorrow - Debs that is a cracking deal!

[AW11 Forever]

Need to start seeing a show of hands here people, I know its early days but mid March will be here sooner than you think. Get booked into the hotel ASAP, they don't actually take payment now just your card number to confirm your reservation. Once you have booked your room at the above mentioned hotel then please update the attendees list, its very important that we manage this event in a proactive manner.
The website launch party is going to be a MASSIVE event, probably one of the most important meetings in the clubs history to date. The weekend event will consist of a mini AGM, we plan to hire a room on the Saturday afternoon after the Club drive out to answer any questions from you our Club members. The afternoon ''workshop'' session will have a casual vibe and it will be an opportunity for non-members to come along and meet the committee and our members, ask questons about the club and also have the opportunity to join there and then and collect their welcome pack. We also plan to have the full regalia shop up and running by then with Club merchandise available to order on the day.
On Saturday night we plan to hold a gala style dinner, we need to look a little more into this, menu, entertainment, etc.
It would be highly beneficial if all the committee and Club area organisers could attend, we are also toying with the idea of asking our affiliates and suppliers to attend, would be a great opportunity to meet them and see their peoducts.

Wayne have you booked a double bed for us darling? :lol:

[waynestoyotamr2]

Booked it!

Booked a double (but not for you Pete!) you never know do you? :lol:

Cant wait for this!

[unowho]

Booked up too :lol: :lol:

[andyj]

I think Debs has done an astonishing job here. £35 for a room, B & B. £16 for dinner. :D And it looks a really nice place.

I'd like to go. Just have to discuss things a bit. It's our 25th wedding anniversary that week ;)

...and got to make sure the teenage kids don't have a party if we're out :lol:

[AW11 Forever]

Of course they will there teenagers!

What better way to celebrate your 25th anniversary than to bring the other half to a MK1 Clb event, aaaarrrr your all heart my friend!

Yep, Deb got a wicked deal although if you go on their webite and put in the same dates its coming up £70 for the same 2 nights, odd

[waynestoyotamr2]

Well, Steve has made it onto the forum (via my telephone support!) ;)

But he hasnt signed up for this event yet?

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR STEVEO!

[AW11 Forever]

Pam,

We would like to formally invite MR2 Only to the event and dinner, would you like to attend?

Sorry when did you say you were buying your MK1

[spudgun]

Hello Chaps,
I have only just caught up with this today. Having seen how far away it is, I'm afraid I'm out.
I wouldn't have been able to stay the night as its difficult to organise "the farm" for overnight stays. Its a just shy of a 400 mile round trip and thats a lot to do in one day with the run out and what have you.
Have a great day though.

[AW11 Forever]

Ah, thats a real shame! :-:

We had to pick somewhere central as we have members throughout the UK including Scotland, its a shame you couldn't stay over otherwise it would have been worth it.

Its about a 300 mile round trip for me but I'll benefit from staying the weekend.

Maybe another event then :+: :+: :+:

[spudgun]

Cheers Micheal,
Sometimes your going to find this with me, unfortunately.
The other half has a lot of pets and overnight stays end taking so much organising that the fun is taken out of it, to the point we don't bother.
Longer stays are alright though, but animals have to be shipped out to family and the cats stuck in the cattery. You get the idea.
Please don't mistake this for lack of enthusiasm though.

[AW11 Forever]

Hey! I would never question your enthusiasm :o you're a good un, I fully understand the home situation, no need to explain yourself my friend.

Well the good news is there is a major packed 2009 full of events!! lots of them 1 day shows and events, Debs working on the schedue/calendar as we speek

Cheers

[unowho]

Oh Dear!!! Have u upset Mr Kingsnorth or what Wayne :problem: !!!!

Had a tel-con with hime earlier, up for coming on this trip, just a bit miffed as to why he's got to go into a single room? :think: :roll: :lol: :lol:

Will be booking for him this weekend

[waynestoyotamr2]

Not comment on the Kingsnorth issue!!! LOL!!!!!

Tell him to book a double like I did - "you never know" !!!!!

[AW11 Forever]

OMG :o

I dont even want to think about that :o

Messy ;)

[fowl]

Not comment on the Kingsnorth issue!!! LOL!!!!!

Tell him to book a double like I did - "you never know" !!!!!

What was the matter, :( you didn't like a bit of snoring, at least i managed to stay up late :D I suppose, it was because i had to wake you up when i got back to the room to get in :)

[waynestoyotamr2]

Mate, the only reason you managed to stay up late was because you werent ill on Saturday night like I was!!!

Well, at least until you got home.......!!

Have you booked in then?

[unowho]

No, Mr K has his PA on the case :angel: if I do say so myself :roll: :lol: :lol:

[AW11 Forever]

Can all the people who are coming please update themselves on the list.

Hi All

Having read this it does look like a good weekend, but having had a look at the distance and taking into account the petrol money and money for hotels we'll have to give it a miss. We're going to go on a proper holiday this year and funds can't stretch to this too :(

However will be attending a good lot of other meets :)

Boo!!We all have to travel a bit!!

[AW11 Forever]

This event seems to have been forgotten a little and time is ticking.

This social weekend is an opportunity to celebrate the successful launch of the new website and a chance to come along and meet fellow MK1 Club members, for some this will probably be your 1st event.

Debs are there any updates with regards to this event?

[unowho]

When I feel better :sick: , will crack on, like ringing hotel for menu and just checking in really,

Come on guys, it's PARTY TIME :crazy:

[mr2mk1chick]

What is the schedule for the saturday, and what can people do if they want to come for the day/meal but not stay over?

[unowho]

Nothing set in stone, but basically I think we where looking to do a run, mid morning for a couple of hours, back for the EGM, then the meal, once I have a voice (no comments needed :roll: ) will contact the hotel to see if they have a menu I could post up

Debs

[mr2mk1chick]

Cool :+:
Hope you're better soon

I guess nearer the time you can get a final list together, as i may be able to come for the day/meal, and i guess you need meal numbers....

[AW11 Forever]

Anyone have local knowledge around the hotel area. Just thinking about the mid morning run out somewhere.

A provisional agenda will look something like this

Friday 13th
Meet at the hotel in the evening, socialise and have dinner.

Saturday 14th
Breakfast
Run out ( TBA ) 10.30am - 2pm
Meeting 3pm - 5pm

[AW11 Forever]

Guys any thoughts for the run out, we need to be back for about 1.45pm for the meeting.

Is it likely that a run out is a good idea, once people have had breakfast and freshened up its going to be 11am, what do you think.

[fowl]

11am sounds good to me, give us a chance to blow the cobwebs out! Weekend here we go :D

[sunsetjoe]

I won't be in a mk1 either, as this weekend we are fitting suspension, steering rack, lower ball joints, toe arms etc - hence my limited time availability (as the track car is hopefully going to Spa after that next week)
I'll be in the RX8

[sunsetjoe]

Thanks guys We will be there for the run at least. What about Carsington Water as you dont have much time. great lanes and easy hit. Big carparks by reservoir for pictures and good pubs for non drivers!

Andy and Jen

[AW11 Forever]

Andy that sounds fantastic, you seem to know your way around, any chance you could knock up some maps and work out a route. There will proably be about 10 cars.

Would really appreciate that.

Hello, me and my missus live in Derby and would like to join you for the Saturday drive out, EGM and may join you for a drink later in the evening, if thats alright. There are some GREAT roads around here and the idea of Carsington Water, already mentioned, could be linked up with Ashbourne and Wirksworth to form a decent little run out. :D
This is my first time on this forum and though a member for some years, to my great shame, I`ve been a bit of a back-seat passenger :oops: so it would be nice to get out and put some faces to the names. :)
Cheers Neil & Anne

[oukie]

Im going to try to come to this guy's for at least sat possibly the whole weekend, Is there rooms still available ???

Im available but my other half is working so just need to see if she can bear to miss me for that long :lol:

Chris.

[waynestoyotamr2]

Rooms still available mate, would be good to have you there and also have a few beers again like at JAE!

[crazylegs]

Good to see some late additions to the list for the weekend party.

On the downside I've had word from Steve Kingsnorth who isn't well at all and might not be able to make the weekend, hope you get well Steve and can make it in the end :+:

No way i can make it on Friday but all being well will see you all on Saturday, feeling a lot better at the moment but see what the night brings.

Another event I'm missing! :cry:

I'd love to come down, even if it was just for the run out and meeting but Hisano and Me are sorting her Visa out and sending that off tomorrow (Saturday).

Plenty of new faces coming that I'd have liked to meet too. I'll just have to look forward to after Uni when I've got both the time and funds to come to events and get organising plenty of my own.

Have a good one guys and make sure there are plenty of pics taken. :+:

Cheers
Tom

We had a great time, the run out on Saturday was great, some excellent roads, was airborne a few times!

The meeting was extremely productive and construcive, another great step forward for the club.

Really enjoyed the Saturday night venture out to Frankie & Bennies, great company and the usual barrel of laughs!

The Hotel was extremely great value, £70 for the whole weekend for both Joanne and myself and included a buffet style cooked breakfast. Loved the 70's style themed bedrooms complete with flowery wallpaper and green flowered carpet including the bathroom. The wooden bed surround with built in radio was a real touch of class, loved it, unfortunately it didn't work.

We ended the weekend with a short run out with Jinxy and Deb hosted by Fred and Doris. Overall a great weekend, nice to catch up with everyone. Thanks to everyone who made the effort.

Below is a small selection of the pictures I took over the weekend, enjoy!

[waynestoyotamr2]

Top class weekend!

Looks to me as if Jinxy's curry had just paid us another visit from the night before on this pic??

[unowho]

Sitting here with tears in my eyes :lol: :lol: , just thinking about what a great weekend we have had :clap: :clap:

The Hotel was brill, yep even the decor, now I know why I felt rough last night, nothing to do with the 2 glasses of wine at the EGM :shh: , the wine in the Argousey, and then the cocktails at "Ben and Jenny's" :shifty:

Starting with Friday night being Chill out Night and a lovely Curry (And yes that face Jinxy is pulling!!! Spot On :sick: ). The Run was fantastic on Saturday morning, my foto's on my FB page. The EGM for being very productive and a HUGE thankyou to one and all for attending, was good to meet some new faces :wave: . And again the lively evening out. Then our mini run on Sunday to Denby Pottery. Then Jinx and I on the spur of the moment called into Castle Donington to have a look around the museum 8-) .

Must give personal thanks to Chris (Oukie) for the entertainment on Friday night :lol: :lol: Will never look at a Londis is the same light again :shock:
