Phoenix Park 2008

[MX5Steve]

I know we decided that the 20th anniversary is next year! but the mail to motorsport ireland had already been sent. The following is the reply would anyone be interested in doing something like this anyway?


"Stephen

Your email to Motorsport Ireland has been forwarded to
me for attention.

We have requests every year from clubs like your own
for demo slot at the Park & we try to accommodate
wherever possible. However, there is always a demand
for more slot than we can reasonably fit into a packed
weekend of racing.

We have had the boys from the Kit Car Club of Ireland
along for the last couple of years & they have also
given us great assistance with some of the
organisational tasks associated with the event. Our
difficulty is that we always have a need for a
dedicated group or groups to undertake a specific task
to lighten the workload on our own helpers.

Can you let me have an indication of the number of
cars & people you have in mind by return email. What
we have done in the past is to allocate a specific
area where the cars can be placed, the owners can show
them off to the public & enjoy a picnic etc. Then
assembly for a display lap & back to base.

I will consider your request & discuss with the
committee when I have the info back from you. On a
personal note, I would be pleased to fit you guys in & celebrate your 20th as we have a Mazda MX5 (2000, 1. which we have kept in Ireland for the last couple of years - its about to be sold! as we are now permanently back in the UK.

With kind regards

Eamonn Ledwidge"

[mx5ash]

[mrges]

Thanks for making the effort, Stephen - it sounds good - I'm certainly interested (but will depend on dates).

[Mise]

Time... Date ... then I would have a better idea...

We figure that here down south we have a lot of MX5 OWNERS (Sunny climate and Fabulous twisty roads) and A high percentage are active members as our Cork Monthly meets draw regular attendance so as Sean says Let me know the date of this meet and he will arrange a brigade from the southern branch of this club!

[MX5Steve]

Yep I've been in touch and I'm waiting on a reply, but I think it might be early august, which might not be ideal, but we'll see what comes back.

Edit: Right I got conformation of the dates as the 9th and 10th of August.

How does that sound for everyone?

[MeathMazdaMan]

9 & 10 August 09 sounds great, date for the diary,

I have a pretty little 1989, pure original apart from four bolt on 15"s and the tan hood, only likes the dry days.

Hope to have it out for that day alright.

Are we looking at having some club badging/stickers up and running for then.

Any other 1989 ers out there.
