MMOC Website Rally..

That doesn't sound too bad... the £6, not the scowling. Wouldn't want that, really. There are 16 on the poll, saying they'd like to come, with another 4 helpers. 30 seems a good figure for expected turnout.

Just because people say they want to come doesn't mean they will/can

Post by **Gareth** » Thu Mar 18, 2004 6:47 pm

No, but as it's the only bit of research to hand reagrding projected attendance rates, 30 seems a good turnout - about what you'd expect for a branch rally, really. It may be less, but I doubt it would get to the stage where Ray and Cam are standing in the carpark alone...

I notice you did not include yourself in the 'worst case scenario' then Gareth!!!

That's commitment for you!!

This weeks update... for the R@lly
We're planning a 30 mile drive session starting 10:30am at Banbury, via a pleasant scenic route through Warwickshire with arrival at the Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon by 11:30. There we will join up with those who had a long jorney and arrive at Gaydon directly.

More to come... Watch this space!
Cam is putting together a webpage with further details (looks good already

), and entry forms will be available by approx mid April (after Gareth's dissertation)

Cheers Ray! Yeesh, the world stops for academia, doesn't it? ;)

I've had a bit of a think, and I might not be able to make it to Banbury.

Dinnae worry tho', because I know how to get to Gaydon, so if someone is needed to usher Mogs about for those who prefer to go straight to the Museum, then I can be on hand.

Gareth,
Fabtastic! Yes, It will be usefull to have someone at Gaydon early - thanks for the offer. It will take a bit of organisation to work out the right tickets for the people who pre-paid.
I did wonder that a 30 mile drive on top of a long journey is a lot for some people!
As you come from a Northerly Direction, you'd have to drive past Gaydon to get to Banbury in the first place.
For those (the majority..) coming up from the south the scenic tour doesn't add a lot of miles anyway.

That was what I was thinking... that, and your 10:30 start scared me...

10.30 in Banbury? No problemo (if I can get the day off that is).

Where would we meet in Banbury?

Post by **Matt** » Thu Mar 25, 2004 10:41 pm

What date again?

Post by **Cam** » Thu Mar 25, 2004 11:23 pm

25th July 2004.

Start point for the tour: 10:30am depart Tramway road, Banbury

(follow signs from town centre for the station to get there)

Post by **Matt** » Thu Mar 25, 2004 11:53 pm

Hmmm cool i might be able to make that

Post by **Chris Morley** » Fri Mar 26, 2004 12:28 am

Banbury station is dead easy from the M40, about two miles and well signposted.
Perhaps the station forecourt would be a good meeting point?

The MMOC committee have given the ok for all this today, so well done evrybody.

I think this is a first for any Classic Car Club!

Post by **Gareth** » Sun Mar 28, 2004 3:11 pm

Hurrah!!

I wonder what would have happened if they hadn't given the go-ahead...?

It would probably be you, me and Ray standing in the car park!!!!

As the MMOC forum is international, how about the next one being out this way.

Or shall Fweddy & I organise a down under "regional" rally?

(Might be a bit lonely though.)

Anyway, hope it all goes well.

Post by **Gareth** » Mon Mar 29, 2004 12:28 pm

You pay for the ferry, mate, and I'll sort the spares!

25th July... I have a nagging feeling I shall be in Italy, then... Unless I'm not going until the week after....

D'you reckon we could organise a stand for the National?

Post by **Kevin** » Mon Mar 29, 2004 12:36 pm

I have a nagging feeling I shall be in Italy,

Well that will be a reasonable drive for Phyllis, Gareth

A stand for the National were you thinking along the lines of

`MORRIS OWNERS WEBSITE OUTDOOR GATHERING`

or is that a bit too subtle

Post by **rayofleamington** » Mon Mar 29, 2004 2:14 pm

A stand for the National? I'd rather do a walk around....
Morris Owners Website Outdoor Gathering... MOWOG? Hmm, Personally Moggy R@lly seems ok for me. Andrew Booth keeps hinting towards W@lly (Web Rally)... I'm still not convinced ;-)

Morris Minor Owners Club

MMOC Website Rally..

I'd like to help / I'd like to come if I can make it
