Our traditional end-of-the-motoring-year gathering for lunch will happen on Saturday, November 15th. Slide show and annual recognition awards too, of course.

Location is the Country Junction Restaurant in Dyersville. Plan on arriving around 11:00-11:15 am in the parking lot south of the building. Lunch will be at 11:30 am.

Time to reminisce on all of our great 2014 motoring memories.

----------

Restaurant contact info and sign-up link are located in the associated Event Calendar Entry (<--link).
Note: the restaurant needs an accurate head count and will charge us (i.e., me) for the difference so **please** sign up in advance for this one...the earlier, the better.

An additional help would be to post up here in this thread with the actual head count (since the Event Calendar only counts by MINIs ).

Thanks!

 

Country Junction is awesome, and down the street from me. Two towns over...but down the street from me. Angel and I will be there. We love the place.

 

Sarah and I will not be making this one

Angel and I are talking about bringing a cake. Hmmmmcake.

 

See you there!

 

Well guys, Loura won't be able to make it, but i'll be there providing the snow not flying and deep !!!

 

I'll be there.

 

Being new to the Mini world (got our 09 Cooper about 3 weeks ago), we will look forward to joining up with the group in 2015. Enjoy going over your last year and hope to be part of the next.

My wife and I joined the group this year, This is by far the nicest car club I have been a part of. I'm looking forward to meeting any other MINIacs.

 

NOT going to make it but we will plan on the Wig & Pen.


Mike & Di

 

We're looking forward to being there!

 

Just one of us; Pam has a commitment with her daughters...

 

Well Guys, I probably won't be driving up to Country Junction tomorrow unless the forecast changes dramatically. Sorry everyone, please enjoy your day and drive safe. I've also come down with my normal seasonal cold which i prefer not to spread it around.

 

Okay, thanks for the heads-up.

Thankfully the weather doesn't appear to be much of an issue for the better part of the day. Looking forward to today!

 

Had a GREAT time!
Thanks Gary. ...always enjoy the awards ceremony

 

Me too, and you're welcome. Fortunately we have a super collection of folks who don't mind laughing at themselves occasionally.

Thanks to EIMTeal for the great MINI cake; to bsteig and the others who contributed to the goodie bags, and to everyone who was able to come out and join us.

Enjoyed meeting doglover48...thanks for making the trek over from Manchester to be with us.

A couple of final take-aways -- our EIM Motorists of the Year for 2014:



...and one final shot of the naked FINALLY for posterity, soon to experience a Davenport reincarnation in soft top, two-seat, Chili Red goodness.

Thank you, Gary, for all the work and organization of the goody bags. We really had a good time as usual. Your pictures always tell the story!
