This is a report similar to what we sent to Karen Drury (Mini World).
SILLY MINIS DO IT AGAIN .... Our 6th anniversary, getting it almost right now !!
Great fun on Saturday,Silly Sports at Dawlish. About 30 people took part. Hoping to have as much fun next year. APRIL 23/24/25th 2011
Sunday is the main show 'n' run day, we plan on booking a good band for Sunday night as part of Silly Mini entertainment after the grand auction etc for 2011,
hence * 2011 price. The one price does allow you to take part in all 3 days of fun.
Monday is classic Mini Monday, where we go to a classic car show. Buckfastleigh South Devon railway was our venue this year.
Brilliant, included a free steam train ride. Thank you Richard.
Easter Sunday arrived with a bag full of sunshine for us all (at long last). Even though still windy enough to pluck Big Birds feathers out !!
64 minis drove into Crealy Great Adventure Park. 3 of them were of the new model variety. All the others were classics, and we even had
a Whitby Warrior, which looks just like a miniature Land Rover !! Furthest journey in a mini to attend our weekend happening was Simon Dummett who came from LEEDS. (siddarz) But someone did come from Scotland, although they didnt really want to risk the snowy journey from the highlands in their MK 1 mini and we dont blame them !! So they drove their MG instead. The theme for fancy dress was The Muppets, and we saw Big Bird, Swedish Chef, Kermit, Miss Piggy, Janice, Gonzo and Beaker amongst many others, including an Easter Bunny. Not sure yet for 2011, but we shall announce soon on our new website.
http://www.sillyminis.com Many thanks to Joanna and all the helpful Crealy Great Adventure Park staff for allowing around 200 of us free use of your park.
Also thanks go out to so many local businesses for all the generous donations we received towards our auction
(which Terry Baker from NDMR does with such expertise and finnesse), also stuff for our raffle, and the event generally.
Allsorts from a huge framed picture of a collection of MINI cards from Picture Warehouse, packets of Fox's sweets, to boxes of fruit juice from Juicebox. We even had the use of a new MINI Camden for the weekend which hubby Vince drove. Many thanks to the local MINI dealership Westerley in Exeter. Cheers Darren, a very warm thank you to everyone from us all.
We are thrilled to announce that £1,947 was raised for the Children's Hospice South West. We shall present a cheque to the charity when we go to North Devon for the Grand Tour run in August which has almost 300 minis taking part. If anyone would like to join in or support this run, please find all information at
http://www.smallcarsbighearts.co.ukEvery Easter Sunday we take 60 minis into Crealy Great Adventure Park, convoy them out in the afternoon through the beautiful grounds of Powderham Castle, on to Dawlish Warren green where we all park up and allow the public to admire our pride and joys. Then there is a grand auction in the clubhouse at HAZELWOOD PARK in Dawlish warren at approximately 4p.m.
Our new updated website for the Silly Minis is
http://www.sillyminis.com or just ring Laney on 07915 080448
ALL this fun for just £15 * per mini. (* will be 2011 price.)
p.s.
We shall be bringing lots of application forms to L.G.T. as it would be much nicer to fill Silly Mini event up with lots of small cars big hearts !!
Thank you.
