Open Invite - 15th Feb 2015 Cotswold MR2 Run - Multi Club Event

Post by mr2jay »

Afternoon Guys - Long time lurker - No often a poster on here.

Just recently it has come to our attention that the numbers of MR2's on the road are dwindling with more being broken than sold. It's a sad fact but it does highlight a BIG fact. We all need to work together.

I'm a Regional Rep on the MR2OC (waits for the groans and rotton fruit to be thrown) and a bunch of us Reps from over there are putting together a multi region run through the Cotswolds on the 15th February 2015.

We are starting the organisation of this early for a reason, the logistics of bringing 4 or 5 convoys together in one place at one time for an epic convoy to a pub is no mean feat, especially when each convoy will be doing it's own run through the Cotswolds prior to meeting up.

The main thread for this can be found on the OC (I haven't posted enough on here to post links apparently - maybe one of you would be so kind as to link it through?) and we are already starting to build interest. As this develops, each area will have it's own convoy thread on the OC maintained by the Regional Rep in control of that convoy.

I know this is an unusual event but we would like to extend our hand to you guys and ask if you would like to join us? The more people we can get working together the better and it's about time we realised we all have the same aim, the survival of the MR2 as a car.

So, if anyone would like to join us in this, make yourself known. If I am honest, I'm not over here often so if someone more active between the two clubs give me a nudge if I haven't responded, we can make this a great day out for everyone.

Jay

Well done Jay.

Many of us are members of several MR2 Clubs and working together can keep the support for these great cars going.

thought i would try and keep people up to date! me and a few others in the south west are already arranging the convoy and meet up locations on Facebook, but of course that doesnt include the people on here that have more of a life and dont use FB. :P

so basically is there any of you on here in the south west and are willing to meet up on the m4 somewhere say? and is there anyone on here who can get the south west people on the OC to communicate with us somehow so we can all meet up rather than have 2 separate convoys from the same area!?

much appreciated chaps, looking forward to it already! 8)

This is my suggestion.... For what it's worth.... and I'll post this on MR2OC and IMOC.

We'll work backwards when we have a final destination ( :/ )

But for now....

Meet at Morrisons Weston-super-Mare. It's just off junction 21 of the M5. There are a couple of us from Weston coming....

Collect the Bristol and South Wales members at Cribbs Causeway.

Collect the Wiltshire People at Leighton Delamere. ...

Head to the Cotswolds....
