Mini motoring clubs...Do you belong to one?

Do you belong to a Mini motoring club? If so, what are they like - for example what kind of things does the club do?

We are broken down even further by what part of the state you are.

We have monthly meetings, at least one statewide event a year, Mickey and MINI, several of our members are instrumental in the running of MOTD, and we even do a lot of charity for various groups.

I am in one and we have had a couple of events so far. Two weekends ago we had a Wine and Color Tour weekend trip up to Traverse City, Mi. Last weekend we had a gathering for the 400th episode of White Roof Radio. I am new to the club, but they also have a Christmas party, annual picnic and other events.

I belong to the Tar Heel MINI Motoring Club.

It seems like we are running events on a pretty regular basis - close to (if not) monthly during most of the year. We do some major events like the Blue Ridge Parkway Tour and now we try to shepherd the MINIs Slay the Sleeping Dragon event and MINIpalooza (which has now been combined with our annual club picnic). One of our more local events, the Bullfrog Run, has grown quite large. Then lots of one-offs that folks setup (e.g. we are doing a Zombie Hunt night run this weekend). Quite frequently, we have members who will try to participate in some neighboring clubs' events as well.

We are kind of scattered across the state. Several folks in the Triad area meet weekly for dinner. The Triangle folks meet monthly. Other areas have tried monthly meets with varying degrees of success. I'm seeing lots of interest in Cars and Coffee events (usually first Saturdays) in the state.

I would like to get involved in a club, but I haven't been able to find any close by. Either way, I want to do some Mini events, so keep posting them :D
