Just like to say, thanks to all who came along, 9 mk1's on Saturday and 18 Sunday (we packed them in ).
The weather was scorching, everybody seemed to have turned pinkie red on sunday afternoon
First time I met Tom, hopefully not the last!
Just a couple of pics to go on with, please forgive the first, I'm not to hot on photoshop.

First time I met Tom, hopefully not the last!

John, it was great to meet you too!

And well done to you and Simon Taylor for setting up the stand on the Friday, I think you both did a great job. I would have turned up on the Friday and helped, but I had a genuine reason why I could'nt...

Will post some pictures tomorrow, but need some shut eye, I'm simply not built for camping!

[mr2mk1chick]

Hi everyone!
I had a great weekend - good party Sat eve! Sunday was lovely weather to clear the head.
It was like krypton factor trying to fit all the 18 cars onto the stand - well done guys! =D>
Good to see a few new faces as well as the hardcore mk1'ers!

[mr2_craig]

Hello

I turned up late on saturday it cost me nine pounds entrance in all as I am new to the mk1's and didn't know much about getting tickets from the club untill it was too late.
A big thanks for letting me put my mr2 with the rest of them on saturday and sunday I really enjoyed myself it was great to meet you all I learnt alot about the mk1

Thanks Jo for letting me use your pass

[Icsunonove]

Another excellent weekend with the Mk1 and DC clubs.

Had a great run over from Derby to Tatton (over the Cat and Fiddle – what a top road that is! )

I was hoping to take it nice and gently so I could take in the scenery. But unfortunately I had this mad woman in a brightly coloured Mk1 (can’t remember her name ) virtually pushing me to go faster , a bit like this:

Top fun!

On arrival the stand looked great. The grass was cut, gazebo was up and we even had some beautiful flowers adorning our stand! (John and Simon =D>) Weather was great and a good few cars turned up. But spent so much time chatting hardly saw one other single stand!

In the evening we had some fun on our stand and then we were invited over to join the Driver’s Club party. They made us very welcome and it was a great night ! (Even if my head was a bit sore the following morning)

Rain was forecast for Sunday, but not a bit of it, I have a very red face to prove it. A load of cars turned up, the only problem was fitting them all in. Here’s some pics:

Gary,

I have already written to Allan to thank you for your hospitality!

I agree totally, I just hope that at future events we can organise to have adjacent stands.

This really is bringing the whole MR2 family together, long may it continue!

G'day all

Fantastic turnout on Sunday, Simon and John, you did a great job, just sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Looking forward to our next run out, Lakes or N.Wales. I know there is an IMOC organised run to the lakes on the 18th but once again I am working that weekend so will organise one soon. Discuss it at the meet on the 11th. (12:00 at the Wiggin Tree, Parbold)

Will also be starting to get February's run to the Isle of Man sorted soon, anyone interested should contact me so that i have a rough idea of what size Hotel to book.

Once again, great job and a special thankyou to Simon for bringing all that gear and having that sign made up.
