Ladies and Gentlemen,
Let me tell you the latest about our IOM trip.
We recently met with Mazda executives and showcased to them our hopefull plans for the iom 20th anniversary event.
It’s with regret that Mazda Ireland and Mazda Europe has returned (thru’ Mazda Ireland) to us wishing us well with the event but cited an inability to help us financially.
They also stated at the meeting that for them to get involved with us officially with any event, we would have to go all official and establish as club as opposed to the liberal mx5 owning enthusiasts we are. Therefore we would have had to go and do the whole anal membership fee crap, appoint a chairperson and get a toilet attendant
We have re-thinked the scale and mechanics of the event and have decided (with thanks to the continued spirit and encouragement of our peers) to forge ahead with a scaled back event to a mega run weekend away to the iom.
We are seeking revised details from hoteliers, the ferry co and the track operator as I type and we will revert to you all soon with more details.
Please hang fire and don't book anything, or any time off work etc.
The date of our iom mega run may change also, but regardless of the tweaking of this event, I'm confident with the spirit and good will of all our pals in this community – we’ll have a BLAST in the IOM!
If you have any questions, please just pm me.
Warm Rgds and thanks,
Ollie.
