Sorry about that, I should have said that I'd create the event on the calendar, thanks for the reminder!

We're going to retire from the April Great Falls run because it's just too far for us, it's a popular run so I hope someone else will step in and do it this year. That being said, I think we'll revive the "Run For the Roses" on Sat May 16th, it's an open run

Why is it always hard to say goodbye to our cars? lol A very Happy Thanksgiving to you, Evelyn and the family as well!

WOW! That's a great looking MINI Scotty, congratulations on your new addition!

Sorry this happened to you, I hope everyone was ok? Hope you're able to get it fixed up and back on the road soon

That sounds good David, I haven’t heard from Corey about the tri state so I hope that date is ok

Because this is an external event, technically there should be no RSVP since it is not a DCMM sponsored event/run, although I see there is mention of one by the OP.

That's great Susan, thank you!

I have you down already for the Tri-State open run in October, so would the HSB be in addition to that, or would that be the only run you want to do in October?

ALL: My tenure on the Board is coming to an end after the Annual meeting on the 27th.

Perfect! I updated the event with the details, let me know if you see any errors. I also put in a plea for a Navigator for this run.

We have not been to Ireland. I've been to England several times, although mostly in London, but not to Ireland, sounds like it would be a great trip!

Great, I'll put a placeholder on the calendar for the 27th

What an incredible experience Susan! Glad you got to do this, sounds like a once in a life time adventure. I did two weeks in Scotland back in 2016 but in a Mini van not a MINI Cooper

Hi Laura, are you still able to do a run in July? ALL: Is anyone able to do an open run in July? Does not need to be an all day affair

I can't help with the chip question, but welcome to the fun world of MINIs! I hope you'll join us on one of our runs this season

Hi Corey, you already committed to doing a HSB in June, are you saying you'll do both? (Open & HSB) I'll need to know details for the June newsletter ASAP please
