Northern Ireland Meet

alpini · 06-29-2008, 04:30 PM

I'd love to organise something for all the E9X owners in Northern Ireland/ROI since there is that stretch of water between ourselves and the rest of you!

I guess I'm trying to gauge interest first of all....? I'm not sure how many of us are out there but maybe we could try to get a rough idea.

please post if you're interested. maybe you guys on the mainland could give us some tips on arranging this!

Of course you'd be more than welcome to come over!!

Top man for organising! Would be nice to see an NI/ROI meet

330cdsport · 06-30-2008, 06:41 AM

Yep - I would be on for it.

booforty · 06-30-2008, 08:56 AM

Two members is sufficient to make a meet - it was only Matt and myself for the two South West mini-meets!!

1- Sorting a suitable date out is important; everything else comes second.

2- If you can get a local sponsor / dealership to help you to promote the meet, then all the better- organising a group buy may well help you to promote the event to prospective purchasers.

3- Plan on what you want to do, well before the meet.
We mainland boys sometimes forget that, but things usually find a way of sorting themselves out in the end.

4- If you're planning on making it a 2-day event, make sure you sort out some accommodation for everyone & make sure they pay up at least a deposit beforehand!

5- If you know of anyone in the motoring press, get them to organise a photoshoot for you & publish it after the meet.

Hope this is of some help to start you off.

All the best.

That AWFUL song was about the Bangor in Wales, not the one in N Ireland! Please do not associate that song with us N Irish people - we have more than enough negative stereotypes to contend with as it is :-)

booforty · 07-16-2008, 06:36 AM

I love

Bangor in NI
Bangor in Wales
Bangers n Mash

In that order....

Aha! So you are discriminating against Bangor, Maine, in the United States then? :-)

If you love Bangor NI, so much, I'll try and get you one of those stickers that say "Beautiful Bangor. Your kinder town!"

booforty · 07-16-2008, 06:57 AM

Yes, I am discriminating against Bangor in the US!! I love Bangers n Mash much much more...

My M will only be complete once I grace the rear windscreen with a Bangor sticker... Please send to the usual address

Bigamos · 07-16-2008, 07:53 AM

I'll see what I can do!!

Bigamos · 07-16-2008, 10:15 AM
