You know you can count on us being there. last year on the way home we hit a big snow storm! The snowflakes were the size of half dollars! What a blast!
You'll need to post a thread on the different MINI clubs, or e-mail the club leadership to have their folks look at the National Forum on Helenblitz updates. A large number of the folks on here (NAM) don't go outside their own club's forums with the exception of the maintenance forums.
I wouldn't do "cross postings" (posting the same thing on multiple club forums), I did that last year in an effort to get the word out and one individual took exception to it and created a big headache for me. There are those out there that could care less that this is for charity.
I'll get the word out to our folks and pass the info on to Coastal MINIs.
Ain't it a shame one person can cause stupid problems like that? In my opinion, if there's an event that I'd be interested in, I'd sure hate that one small minded person would keep you from posting on a clubs forum.

Just made our reservations at the Helendorf Inn! Thanks for posting the hotel information on the "3rd Annual Helenblitz Charity Event" NAM thread, John!
We are looking forward to seeing the scedule of events for the weekend when they are posted. Tamara and I....and "Tillman" can hardly wait for "Helenblitz 2010!"

That was my thinking too. I thought it was funny none of the clubs complained...
But, with all that said and water under the bridge, I think this year will be great! I hope the weather cooperates.
Last years event was super laid back and very fun. Even if the weather didn't cooperate. I don't even remember an official registration at the event. I just hope the weather is as good as the people we met last year! You'll have a blast.

For a newbie, any recomendations on where to stay??
Thanks All.

Hey Ed!
I think many of us are staying at the Helendorf River Inn & Conference Center in Helen, GA. The hotel information is posted on the following thread, "3rd Annual Helenblitz Charity Event." You can call the Helendorf Inn reservation number at 1-800-445-2271. They are offering great rates of $54.00 per night for a Standard Room, or $70.00 per night for a Riverfront Room with balcony. Be sure to mention that you are with the "MINI Cooper" group as they have set aside rooms especially for us.
Sheroyn, I and Miss TILLEY have made reservations. Do hope Carol and David can make it; love to see them again! Has anyone heard from Sharon and Floyd?
LilBonnie, Just a great little German town to visit and enjoy. Most arrive Friday and leave Sunday. Most will go on two or so nice twisty trips (several hours each). We usually have a couple of dinners together. Some meet for breakfast together. Bid everyone farewell after Sunday breakfast and everyone departs (some in groups, some alone). A nearby Winery usually bottles us some special label wine and gives us a tour of the production of wine. Just pick and choose as you like; do as much or as little as you like. Look forward to meeting and admiring your MINI.
Ok woot woot.. time to get super cited about this!!! Its getting closer!!! Time is getting nearer!!! Get talking.. spread the word.. shine up that mini.. and let your love shine!! Its time for Mini Love!! helenblitz 2010

I have never been to a HelenBlitz but it sounds like great fun. I'm checking my wife's calendar, so hope to come.
