I've been lurking on here for a while and you guys all seem like an awesome group of people. I'm really looking to meeting everyone and bringing little Ambrosia out to play

I'm amazed at how many other Minis I've been seeing out in the area - especially in the Bethesda/Rockville area where I work. I've been too shy so far to wave (I nodded once though and the person nodded back!). Most of the other drivers seemed sort of oblivious though!

Anyway, I'm hoping to make it out to some sort of event soon!

Maddie

Yo Maddie ! Welcome to you and Ambrosia to the gang of MINI Misfits from Mike, Leona and Wensleydale !

I'm going to try my best to make it out as I'd certainly like to meet everyone. I have a previous commitment in Sterling later that day but if I can cancel, we shall see! What time are people leaving MoT for the run? getting there at 930am might be a little rough for me...I'm about an hour away (and boy is it hard to get me out of bed 'early' on the weekends)

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome

These Baltimore County runs Bill has put together have caused quite a stir here at DCMM, there are so many turns and ups and downs, you will loose track of where you are, each corner becomes the only thing on your mind, absolutely fantastic !

If you want to go "quick" place yourself towards the back of the pack, if you enjoy things a bit "slower" place yourself close to the lead.

Either way you will have a great ride......

Mike

And the list grows longer ! 17 cars !

Since Bill goes around in a 2 mile circle we might have the front looking at the back !

Hey Mike !

Do I see an impromptu car show at The Still ? At this rate, we'll take up their entire front car park !

It'll be a bit chilly but I'm game, if we crank up the music, rev up our engines, squeal some tires and just act generally obnoxious we'll have a car show ! Hah !

That'll go a long way at being allowed to come back for food

I know thi8ngs have been busy but I was wondering when to expect my replacement badge?

I did receive an email on 12.12 saying that there would be a delay. So, Just wondering how long. No rush at all. I just want to make sure that my dues and membership is up to date.

I am sorry about the delay, but I'm expecting the cards today. Between the holidays, our being away, then being sick...I've gotten way behind.

Everything goes out tomorrow...if I get the cards today....

edit: I didn't get the cards today. Perhaps tomorrow...I can't understand this as they are just coming from western MD. and were mailed last Thursday Yeah, I know yesterday was a Fed holiday, but still...

Not a big deal. I just wanted to make sure I was up to date.

To all members, please mark your calender on Mar 15th for DCMM Annual Meeting.

Stepping down from the board this year are Kurt Collins (Krut), Sam Carr (Sam). In addition, the temporary appointments of Chris Lekhavanija (Maxicooper) and Pawel (pyskacz) are up for election as well (they became interim board members after others stepped down last year).

Continuing on the board for the second year of their terms are Stacey Kim (MINInurse), Jaysen Kim (JustJAY) and Haemish Edgerton (Edge).

This means that 4 positions are open to re-election.

So - please consider joining the board and getting involved! If you are interested in being on the ballot at the annual meeting, please contact one of the current board members (via PM) to let us know.

I noticed my name wasnt on that list. i payed through pay pal through the dcmm web site. my pay pal account says the transaction was completed and that the money was charged to my credit card. if you just havent had a chance to get to it yet, thats fine. but was worried when you posted a list and my name wasnt on it. once again, i am not trying to rush you, and i saw that you would start the next batch this weekend. i must be in that one.

and thank you for all of your patience, and for putting up with all of these people asking you when they will get their stuff (including me). it seems to have been very stressful on you lately and i commend you for working so hard.

Daniel

Dan,
you're in this upcoming batch. So are you, Ambrosia.
Generally, when I post names, it's actually the group who has signed up a month prior to the month of posting. In other words, it's Feb., and all these folks signed up in Jan. or in a few cases, Dec.
Since it's almost the end of Feb, I'm doing the Feb. sign-ups this weekend, and I should be all caught up.
Don't worry, your name(s) will be posted, I promise.
