Brewers Fayre Pub, Taunton (2/9/2006)

[MinisUnlimited]

Minis Unlimited has kindly been invited to the following event. It doesn't clash with anything else planned - and most importantly is hosted by a pub! *hic* ;D

We are holding a Mini run on Saturday 16th of September and was wondering if you guys would ike to get involved. I briefly spoke to Dave Court and he said to send you an email.

As a southwest region we have 13 pub restaurants. The North Devon Mini Club is having three of their minis visit all 13 restaurants to raise money for the Childrens Hospice.

Each pub restaurant is holding a fun day all day to raise money, with events going on all through the day. The event is being promoted thorugh local radio and papers and a new MINI will given away on the day. Team members will be advertising the event all through the summer and we expect it to be a great day.

The details are all being finalised over the next few weeks but I wanted to get local support involved. Not to be out done by North Devon Minis, it would be great if we could get a local mini club involved.

The date has been brought forward to Saturday 2nd September.

The club has dropped into the pub on a couple of occasions, and the manager seems pretty excited about the event and us coming along ;D

We are looking for volunteers to please display their Minis; either throughout the day, or if you could pop along for a short time. This is excellent local publicity for us!

We have been offered 25% off any food orders at the pub on the day.
A prize to be awarded to the Best Dressed Mini.
Marquee & Fete through the day, plus a car boot sale opens at 8am.
Local press coverage (we hope; possibly radio & TV too)
We get to escort the John O-Groats Mini Run on from Taunton to Bridgwater.

All proceeds the pub takes for extra activities will be going to the local Children's Hospice.

Who can help out on the Club Stand?

You may well be able to count me in for some if not all of the day. I could with a few more details of times etc.

As you all know if it rains "Bill" stays undercover at least until his wounds have all healed.

Had some more details from the O'Bridge.
They'd like us from 10.30am onwards on Saturday. Plenty of room for the gazeebo etc.
The main Mini Run is arriving between 5.30-6.30pm, so we'll pack up the equipment then and escort them on to the Bridgwater pub (I think its the new one built on the A38 Bristol Road at Express Park).

So if people can drop in for either some or part of the day, it would be great to help promote the club (and Mini Grille) locally. ;D

We’ve had news from both the Brewers Fayre Pub & the North Devon Mini MOC yesterday/today.

Slight change of plans! Minis Unlimited are still going to provide a display of our cars, but from lunchtime onwards (not in the morning). The reason is that the Mini charity run has changed its route to include Yeovil, and will be travelling from there to Bridgwater and then down to Taunton. They’ll be arriving a little later (estimate 6.30pm) so to save us standing round all day, we have agreed a compromise of us turning up from 12.30-1.00pm rather than mid morning. Just in time for lunch!

The good news is we are welcome to join the convoy back down to Barnstaple (or part of the way).

There is an area allocated to us (where the car boot sale will be held in the morning) where we can display 6-8 Minis minimum plus our gazebo. It’s a great opportunity for us to promote the club locally so spruce your cars up and show them off for the afternoon! There should be lots of general public wanting to chat to us. The pub is REALLY excited about us helping out.

Lots of things going on there; fete, marquee, kids entertainment & disco, raffle, karaoke, ABBA tribute, 25% discount on food, bar open all day. We’ve been promised that there are going to be fun activities going on throughout the day. All event proceeds go to South West Children’s Hospice.

So please come along & support our club for some, if not all, of the afternoon!
