INTEREST? Joint drive with Central Iowa club in 2016?
All-
I have been approached by the vice president of the Central Iowa MINI Club asking if we are interested in participating again this year in a joint CIMC/KCME drive.
Historically, this drive takes place in northern Missouri on a Saturday in May. This is also the proposed plan for this year.
I wasn't able to participate in 2015 and I understand the KC participation fell off from past years -- thus the question from the CIMC about whether we are still interested.
I know that in years past when I have participated I have genuinely enjoyed myself and had a great time. Makes for a long-ish day, but several hours of cruising sparsely traveled back roads and hanging out with new MINI friends is worth it to me. Others have shared similar observations.
Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? Interest? Good idea? Bad idea?

Sadly, the last few years this has fallen on a day that kept me from going - May is always a busy month as it seems that's when events really get going......this year I'm going to Sandy Eggo for Mini Meet West in early June, so I don't think I'll be able to go in May also......

I know that we always seem to run up against graduation events as a common point of schedule conflict.

Re: INTEREST? Joint drive with Central Iowa club in 2016?
For us, it would depend on the weekend as well. Niece's graduation in California, Mother's Day, Memorial Day weekend...but if it is not on one of those we would love to participate.
Re: INTEREST? Joint drive with Central Iowa club in 2016?
I would be interested. May weekends are typically busy. Haven't done this road trip. But I'm up for an adventure.

Just a note, the Mushroom Festival is on the 7th in Richmond. A great time can be had by all.

That event adds to the challenge, I think.BLUGOOSE wrote:Just a note, the Mushroom Festival is on the 7th in Richmond. A great time can be had by all.
May is such a great month weather-wise that committing two consecutive Saturdays on MINI events might be overkill.
I'm OK if we want to skip a year.
We could encourage the CIMC crew to come to Richmond in lieu of having a joint drive...

I agree. Change can be difficult. Our family has experienced all MINI events are fun.IowaM1N1 wrote:That event adds to the challenge, I think.BLUGOOSE wrote:Just a note, the Mushroom Festival is on the 7th in Richmond. A great time can be had by all.

Still interested in more comments and feedback.
I'm not sensing a well-spring of passion around this event...but perhaps I am misjudging based on the very few comments we have received so far.

Do you know what date this event would take place?
Re: INTEREST? Joint drive with Central Iowa club in 2016?
Probably on a Saturday in May. Likely not May 7, since that is the Richmond event.Suji wrote:Do you know what date this event would take place?

I think I should be free. Sounds like fun.
