MINI Gathering in England

Orde's of England! I know a number of folks from M2C2 joined us last year at Orde's of England in Greenwood, SC, and we're looking to fill up the yard again this year as we celebrate MINI turning 50!

2nd Annual MINI Gathering and Lunch
Celebrating 50 years of MINI!
Saturday, September 19, 2009

Orde's of England
715 Montague Ave
Greenwood, SC 29649

We'll be there from 11am to 2pm. For those who haven't been to the area, Greenwood is about an hour south of Greenville, and about a two hour drive from Charlotte. We expect media to be on site, so make sure your MINI is ready for pictures!

(Did I mention there will be cake? )

Sorry but have to bail out. Cataract extraction and implant surgery friday the 18th. I really wanted to come to this, but I guess eyesight comes first.

Good to hear! We're working through this last week to get the word out, and I'm contacting the local media tomorrow, so make sure your MINIs are cleaned and dressed to impress!

Looking forward to seeing all of you!

First, thanks to everyone who managed to make it down, Orde's loves having us and this event was just perfect!

It looks like we did have one person accidentally skip out on their tab. If you forgot, it's totally okay, we're just wanting to make sure everything is covered! The name listed was "J. White" If this is you, please send me a PM and let me know and we'll get things squared away. Thanks!

Great time; great turnout (28 cars, I think); great food. Thanks for all the hard work. Always great to meet new MINI friends and see some old ones. Thanks again; look forward to seeing you all again.
PS: Look under Smokey MINIs and consider coming up to BOO in Gatlinburg. It was a blast last year and I'm sure will be fun again. Your MINI finally gets to dress up for Halloween!

Yesterday was a lot of fun, wish I had been there last year too to enjoy it! Only disappointment was they had no Haggis to eat!!! Great place though, reminded me of some pubs in England and Wales I've been to!

It's quite alright! Glad it got straightened out!
