Banff MINIRUN 2009 

The Banff 2009 MINIRUN has come and gone, and it was (in our opinion anyway), a great success.  Officially we had 21 cars join us for a spectacular drive through the mountains to Banff and Lake Louise.  For some pictures, check out our gallery:  Banff Gallery.

As always we appreciate feedback on the event.  Next time, we will pick a location with some better facilities, but I must say the scenery was fantastic, and so was the drive up Mt. Norquay!  For interest sake, here is the route we took:  Banff MINI Run Route

Next Event

At the Banff Run, we took a vote, and decided to change the location of the next run to Sheep River.  It will be another great run to the mountains through some nice twisty roads, ending up at Sheep River Falls and Bluerock.  More details will be coming shortly.  This event will be held on June 13, 2009.  You can register here. 

2010 MINI Club of Calgary Calendar

We have created a Gallery for the 2010 Calendar submissions.  13 photos will be chosen to be included in the next Calendar.  Check out the Gallery here.  Discuss on the Forum here. 

As always, we have club gear available, and new MINI Club of Calgary Antenna flags will be coming soon!  Have fun, and Happy Motoring! 

It's April!

Upcoming Events:

The snow is starting to melt (well mostly), and it's time to think about the next MINI Calgary Runs.  The first event coming up is the 4th Annual Ice Cream Run on April 26th.  This will be followed the Run to Banff on May 23.  Check out the events pages for them, and register to let us know how many will be coming.  There is no cost to attend these events (other then Park Entrance fees for Banff National Park).  We hope to see some familiar and new faces/MINI's there.

AMVIV 6 

The MINI Club of Calgary and the Edmonton MINI Club sent a total of 13 cars down to Vegas for A MINI Vacation in Vegas (AMVIV) 6. This entailed approximately 5100 km of driving (including events around Vegas) for most of us.  A fun time was held by all as we gathered with 500+ other MINIs who attended the event.  More then 250 showed up for the Strip Cruise!  Next year more from Canada will make the trek I'm sure.  Check out some of the pictures from the event at the AMVIV gallery.   I'm sure more will be posted there soon too.  We were even privaledged enough to bring Quack Quack Jack and Quack Quack Jill with us for the journey.

Next Meeting 

The next club meeting will be April 16th.  We will be gathering around 7:30, and start the real festivities at 8pm.  I'm sure some AMVIV stories will be shared and pics, and we will be discussing upcoming events for the club too.  If you want to get involved this is a great place to get started!

New Items

The MINI Club of Calgary has some new items coming soon, including Grill badges (will be for sale soon for $7 ea).  We also have a club flag for events, and it already made a great showing in Vegas! 

That's it for now.  We hope for great weather coming soon, and lots of fun twisties!

Spring is Coming!

At least that's what the calendar says.  It seems the weather is 'starting' to get nicer, so it's time to get the MINIs out for some fun.  Here are some upcoming events you can plan for!

March 26 - 29  - A Mini Vacation in Vegas (AMVIV).  In case you have been in the dark, there is a fairly large group of MINIs from Calgary and Edmonton heading down.

April 26th - The 4th annual Ice Cream Run!  Get ready, it should be fun. 

May 23rd - Time to head to Banff again to kick off the first longer run of the year.  Those that attended in the fall last year can remember a fantastic drive through the mountains and some great scenes. 

July 5th - It's STAMPEDE, and the club is planning to hit a stampede breakfast and then go MINI Golfing.  Mark it down...

Many more events are planned, and they can be checked out on the Events page.

Don't forget our monthy meetings too!
