MORE
I too may be registering, but likely at the last minute... you know self employment... If I don't work, I don't get paid or eat, and I already have 2 MINI weekends planned that month. Also, those of us with kids have the additional problem that school is in session.
MMW definitely took some interest from MORE, but it has a relatively light attendance compared to the Las Vegas trip in March. With both PDX MINI and REME doing many of the same roads in June has likely reduced the numbers coming from Oregon.
I have been watching the attendance of most club events declining everywhere this summer... maybe a little MINI burnout with the increase number of cars out there. We might be on the tail end of the swing.

OK, the registration date has come and gone. What's going on?
Is this still going to be an event? How many are registered?
Please put out something official, so I know wheather to cancel my reservations or not.
Anybody???

No update info for this event.
Had to cancel this event because I will be joining several C3 members on the 27th of August. Destination will be Julian, AKA Apple Pie Country. May even meet up with WCM.

Hi
Sorry for the delay in replying. Motorswag has just rented a building in Los Angeles and communications have been difficult with DSL etc. We also attended MINI meet West over the last weekend and have hired 2 part time staff. to help with MS and with More.
MORE is not and will not be cancelled. I will post the list of confirmed attendees over the weekend. A few of us attendees at MMW discussed how good a small turnout could be. If you are indeed cancelling your rooms Please call me at 323-864-7410.
A more detailed update will follow.

Hey you caught me, really glad to hear from you we were all getting a little worried, I had decided to give it until the end of the weekend to see if we heard anything, so thanks for the response. I too thing a small group can be just as much fun. Thanks again for the response.

I'm glad to hear something. We are leaving Michigan on Friday 8/12 and if nothing had been said to verify, I would have canceled the room reservations etc... It's nice to know there are some die hard MINI people who hang in there till the last minute. I probably would have changed the basic route plan if MORE was canceled, but am glad it's not. Looking forward to doing 25 states in 25 days.
I will be bringing a laptop on the trip and will be checking in every couple days to see how things are shaping up.

Rick, aka wrecker. So you're heading my way. Do you still want to get together wed the 24th? I'm still planning on it. I too will be out of town starting the 12th, but will be back the 19th and am not sure if I'll be able to check this site or emails. If you still want to meet up email me at xsmini@gmail.com so we can set it up.
Have fun on the x-country trip.

Jeff asked me to post this here as he had to leave quickly this weekend to address some family related issues.
Meanwhile I've kept MotorSwag going the best I can
(with 2 new employess in training-Kim and Tatiana)
while we rented our 1st office with no DSL (found out
after the fact) and then had to find and move to a new
building. Meanwhile we attended MiniMeetWest and have
been less than stellar at the final stage planning and
announcements for MORE.
It is my intention to attend MORE as scheduled. I will
most likely fly from Cleveland or London to Redding
and meet a MINI there for the drive to Eureka on that
Friday. There are only 12 attendess left at this time.
This will have to be a "self-responsible" trip as
there is not enough of a group to warrant the
insurance policy. I will be making the Cooperation
designed shirts and they will be available online this
week and I will bring some to Eureka. All other swag
ordered by attendees will be cancelled and refunded
due to low numbers. Please advise anyone that is
queasy about the event to cancel their hotel now. I
will pay any cancellation fees they incur. As I said I
will be there and will be excited to spend time in the
beauty of the area in celebration of my mom's life.
She never made to the area so I'll bring her in
spirit.
As an attendee in San Ramon (MMW) said a small group
could be even MORE fun than a large one. Hope to see
everyone there. our new hotline is 888-4XS MINI but is
often busy online as we wait 2 weeks for DSL. You or
anyone can always reach me on my cell 323-864-7410.

Reluctantly...I have to cancel MORE
David,
Thank you for the post assistance.
Friends and WCC folks>
My sisters and I flew and drove to Cleveland on Thursday to find my mom losing her battle with breast cancer. She had been doing so well and had planned a vacation to the Jersey shore this past weekend when everything went wrong. We lost her on Friday morning and her funeral was yesterday. I've been travelling back and forth from Cleveland to LA as often as possible which has left MotorSwag and MORE a bit in the lurch at times over the past few months.
Though I didn't think it appropriate to mention Mom's illness here prior to this , I think you deserve a real accounting of MORE's cancellation and my unavailability of late. Mind you, all this means is that I cannot attend as I have family and personal business to attend to here in Cleveland and in London over the next 2 weeks. This doesnt mean you that have planned on attending should not go. I hope that you do go and tell me all about it.
I have spoken with Stacey at the Humboldt Bay Best Western and there will be no cancellation penalties if you give her 48 hours notice. I will refund all registrations and MORE purchases while I am travelling but it will take some time as all of your credit card info has expired in the system and I will need to do the refunds manually or by check to your shipping address.
I will also send an email to the attendees in case they don't see this post. As stated before I'm still making the MORE shirts and will let you know when they are ready.
Thank you all for your understanding.
