Save the date for the 4th Annual PhillyMINI Meet (PMMo6) in Philadelphia. Last year's event drew 59 MINIs, 3 Classic Minis, 118 people for the largest Philadelphia MINI/Mini meet to date! Come out for this one, it's the event that started PHILLYMINI!!!
Let's motor through Fairmount Park. Let's check out a few choice landmarks. We'll stop for group photos along the way, then finish at Manayunk Brewery & Restaurant for a live jazz Sunday brunch and a special menu created just for PhillyMINI. With their outdoor seating on the deck overlooking the Schuylkill River, we're bound to have a great time!
WHEN: Assembly starting at 7:45 AM
Please plan to arrive no later than 8:00 AM to allow time to assemble, check-in and photos. After a brief driver's meeting, departure time is 8:30 AM. It's early, but no traffic is the reward!
WHERE:
IN FRONT OF the Philadelphia Art Museum, in the EAKINS OVAL parking lot . At this time of day, if we have GREAT WEATHER (cross fingers- toes, everything!) the view of the Art Museum and Parkway is phenomenal!!! There are NO BATHROOMS at the initial meeting spot (you'll have to drive to get to one), remember to PB4UGO.**
ASSEMBLY BACK-UP PLAN B: if for some reason you arrive at 8:00 AM and there are no MINI/Minis to be found, we have resorted to
Plan B's Meeting Spotwhich is behind the Philadelphia Art Museum, Poplar Drive at Sedgely Drive. Need directions to get to the Philadelphia Art Museum area? TRAVEL ADVISORY: The West River Drive (Martin Luther King Drive) is closed for recreational activities on Sunday from April to October.
