Minis By The Sea 2006

Well what can be said about this day. Started off with an early rise for most people. That's most people except for Pop, who despite our best efforts was still asleep and missed his meet time. Despite that he still beat me to Rykas for the meet with all the others.

Then there was the magic roundabout incident!! Thank you John for missing me, the world does seem a stranger place when your facing the wrong way on a roundabout waving at all the oncoming traffic coming towards you. New rear tyres have now been invested in.

Guided in by the ever welcoming face of Charlie and his “bird” we found ourselves locate in a good position next door to the mini cooper register.
The show was full with displays of all types of minis and was a great little event. The banner got it's first outing and after much deliberation the gazebo was put up with out too much trouble. Then we all saw Andy's artistic talent come out with the arrangement of the cars. Very nice the final outcome was to.

Shame the weather couldn't hold out but there were spells of good sunshine, which when they arrived, we took the opportunity to view the sites of mighty Worthing!! Not much there, but one of the most expensive cafés that I have been to and I've been to a few!! Back at the show Neil was washing his car for the fifth time and if another spot of rain had hit it I am sure he would have gone mad!!

The day ended with most of us drifting off at about four o'clock, some of us off to do a three hour spell at the crease, well done Ollie. A good day had by all, especially the lads with all the “sights” on view!!
