Apologies for not being able to make it today Sarah, I've worked 6 days and 4 nights for 2 weeks in a row, and they took their toll. I woke up about 3pm. From what I'm hearing though, you may have opened up a hornet's nest ... some people are saying you're quite the event organiser!!

Well done on a really well organised event Sarah , the roads chosen were scenic and challenging without being 'car-breaking' . the stops well chosen , the beach activities and barbecue really good fun and to see the kids ( of all ages ) building their 'creations' was a joy to behold . again You proved that if the MCOI provide the events and the 'right' environment that is one of FUN Members will turn out in force and travel great distances , 22 Cars is a really brilliant turnout and as Alvin has said at least 6 of the 'regulars' were unable to attend . again well done Sarah .

What a fab. day Sarah. Thank you. The kids had a great time as did we. 22 minis and no-one got lost, but thats just down to good planning. And we were missing a half a dozen people so that is some turn out. Highlight for me were 22 cars heading in to Tesco's car park that was very funny, the BBQ, the sandcastle building competition, the Vee, and the laugh we had. And fair play to the lads from Dublin for traveling down for the event, it just goes to show the caliber of event we can do in the M.C.O.I. Well done again Sarah.
