As part of the ongoing makeover for the MK1 Club we plan on holding a pre-season launch party. This will give us an excuse to all get together and celebrate he launch of the new MK1 Club, website, members paks, regalia, etc, it wll also give non members at the time an opportunity to come along and meet Club members for the 1st time before joining, they will of course have the opportunity to join the Club there and then.
Details are a little sketchy at the moment but I can tell you it's going to be a cracking weekend of club fun! If you are interested in attending please add your name

Sounds good. I will probably get there on Sat for the run and dinner.
-
Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th
In principal it sounds a good idea and I could well be up for it. I will keep the date clear for now.
I will keep my eye on this one.

Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th

Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th

Now on the case of sorting out a location and hotel for our "little do" in March
Watch this space ;)

Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th
Nice one Deb's
I would imagine we could see potential numbers around the 40 figure. We need a good hotel with dining/dinner facility centrally located and easy to navigate to. If we could get a side room for free for the mini AGM that would be magic!
Its worth thinking about the run out in the afternoon. Is it worth considering the Mickleover again, I bet we can get a cracking deal if there is going to be a large booking. For the Saturday afternon run we could have a run up to Chatsworth Park...

Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th
Well, wittled it down to two I reckon, International Hotel, Derby, www.internationalhotlederby and of course Mickleover Court, www.menzies-hotels.co.uk/hotels/derby/m ... over-court. Both ringing back with group booking details, so should have something positive by Monday, soooooo watch this space

Hi all what a great idea. That was a fab hotel we stopped at in Dec Debs!
Pete.

Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th
Great suff Debs at least we are out of the starting blocks.
Have you told the hotels how much we can drink!
So in a nutshell we are looking for a deal of 2 x nights B and B in double/twin/single rooms with optional dinner in the restaurant.
I would expect a figure of around £90 per couple or £80 for single room for that deal at that time of year, bargain hard Deb's there will be plenty of hotels begging for our business.
Either hotel we choose we could have a trip up to Chatsworth Park in the Mk1's or if anyone wants to come up with suggestions, local knowledge anyone?

Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th
Fantastic work!
I like the look of the International Hotel in Derby
We've been to the Mickleover, come on guys, lets do something fresh!
-
Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th
Spot on rooms £90 for 2 nights, just as predicted, although I still think we can get a better discount if we bargain very, very hard and Deb's you are just the person to do it!
-
Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th
Hold it, here comes an announcement
'' 24 hour bar ''
Jobs a gud-un!
-
Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th
24 hour bar?
We can put Kingsnorth on the list then!
I am not rooming with him this time though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Derby International looks a great option Debs.
-
Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th
At £90 for a weekend room, eee, yea!
Deb see if we can still get it cheaper thought, £75 for the weekend seems about right for such a big group, looking for about 15 rooms at least.

Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th
Need to start seeing a show of hands here people, I know its early days but mid March will be here sooner than you think. Get booked into the hotel ASAP, they don't actually take payment now just your card number to confirm your reservation. Once you have booked your room at the above mentioned hotel then please update the attendees list, its very important that we manage this event in a proactive manner.
The website launch party is going to be a MASSIVE event, probably one of the most important meetings in the clubs history to date. The weekend event will consist of a mini AGM, we plan to hire a room on the Saturday afternoon after the Club drive out to answer any questions from you our Club members. The afternoon ''workshop'' session will have a casual vibe and it will be an opportunity for non-members to come along and meet the committee and our members, ask questons about the club and also have the opportunity to join there and then and collect their welcome pack. We also plan to have the full regalia shop up and running by then with Club merchandise available to order on the day.
On Saturday night we plan to hold a gala style dinner, we need to look a little more into this, menu, entertainment, etc.
It would be highly beneficial if all the committee and Club area organisers could attend, we are also toying with the idea of asking our affiliates and suppliers to attend, would be a great opportunity to meet them and see their peoducts.

Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th
I think Debs has done an astonishing job here. £35 for a room, B & B. £16 for dinner. :D And it looks a really nice place.
I'd like to go. Just have to discuss things a bit. It's our 25th wedding anniversary that week ;)
...and got to make sure the teenage kids don't have a party if we're out :lol:
-
Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th
Of course they will there teenagers!
What better way to celebrate your 25th anniversary than to bring the other half to a MK1 Clb event, aaaarrrr your all heart my friend!
Yep, Deb got a wicked deal although if you go on their webite and put in the same dates its coming up £70 for the same 2 nights, odd
-
Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th
Well, Steve has made it onto the forum (via my telephone support!) ;)
But he hasnt signed up for this event yet?
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR STEVEO!

Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th
Pam,
We would like to formally invite MR2 Only to the event and dinner, would you like to attend?
Sorry when did you say you were buying your MK1

Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th
Hello Chaps,
I have only just caught up with this today. Having seen how far away it is, I'm afraid I'm out.
I wouldn't have been able to stay the night as its difficult to organise "the farm" for overnight stays. Its a just shy of a 400 mile round trip and thats a lot to do in one day with the run out and what have you.
Have a great day though.
-
Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th
Ah, thats a real shame! :-:
We had to pick somewhere central as we have members throughout the UK including Scotland, its a shame you couldn't stay over otherwise it would have been worth it.
Its about a 300 mile round trip for me but I'll benefit from staying the weekend.
Maybe another event then :+: :+: :+:
-
Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th
Cheers Micheal,
Sometimes your going to find this with me, unfortunately.
The other half has a lot of pets and overnight stays end taking so much organising that the fun is taken out of it, to the point we don't bother.
Longer stays are alright though, but animals have to be shipped out to family and the cats stuck in the cattery. You get the idea.
Please don't mistake this for lack of enthusiasm though.
-
Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th
Hey! I would never question your enthusiasm :o you're a good un, I fully understand the home situation, no need to explain yourself my friend.
Well the good news is there is a major packed 2009 full of events!! lots of them 1 day shows and events, Debs working on the schedue/calendar as we speek
Cheers

Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th
Oh Dear!!! Have u upset Mr Kingsnorth or what Wayne :problem: !!!!
Had a tel-con with hime earlier, up for coming on this trip, just a bit miffed as to why he's got to go into a single room? :think: :roll: :lol: :lol:
Will be booking for him this weekend
-
Re: MK1 Club Website Launch Party March 13th - 14th
Not comment on the Kingsnorth issue!!! LOL!!!!!
Tell him to book a double like I did - "you never know" !!!!!
