Brunch at the Olde English Inn, Queens Official 60th Birthday

[Les Parker]

Anyone want to meet in Stowe Vermont on Sunday June 3rd for Brunch?

Let me know, we could meet at Rovers North for a trip over the Notch and Brunch at the Old English Inn.

[ThePhotographer]

I would, but that's the day of British By the Sea!

[Les Parker]

Oh, well. Enjoy your trip. :thumb-up:

[I Leak Oil]

Sounds fun Les but a 4 1/2 hour drive north for pancakes is a little much!

[Les Parker]

Oh I think it will be more than pancakes full English Breakfast is what I'm banking on.

Those that were at last year's British Invasion may remember our version of the "Full Monty" on Sunday as part of the
Tailgate Pic-nic. !!!!!

Sounds like a wonderful idea. If I leave PA yesterday, I might just make it in time!
Do they have Bubble in Stowe?

[MJL]

Les
Surely you mean her Diamond Jubilee of her coronation. She is over 80 so it cannot be her 60th Birthday - :)

How much notice do you need. A full English sounds brilliant.

Mike

Thanks for the correction.

Looks like we may have some Mini's for company on the trip !!

Any other types to invite ?

[TSR53]

Sounds like fun Les! Possibly a school of Mini's? I'll put out the word and organize though the Vermont Mini Club. (http://www.facebook.com/VermontMiniClub)

Rallye tour eh Thompson? Not sure how well a Series can rallye, but get it on film...we can speed up the footage in post!

[derekchace]

So who else is in?

[RN Admin]

David P. will be meeting us there in his '59 Series II

[Les Parker]

Looks like not much interest from the BTV area :( Still sounds like a fun run though.

[TSR53]

MINI of Burlington graciously said they would send up a new Coupé. Hopefully trying to generate interest. I can't wait for a big full monty English brunch!

[pjsank]

What is the plan? Meet at RN at what time? Do the LRs get a head start??:D

[SafeAirOne]

I'm still debating what I'm going to do this weekend. It looks like camping will be out since New England will be covered in rain on Saturday so I might end up in the Green Mountain State for breakfast on Sunday. Is there anything formalized schedule-wise so that once I get my act together I can figure out where to be and when to be there?

[siii8873]

Les,
I may make it. Any idea on when to meet at RN ?
Bob

[Les Parker]

9.00 Meet at Union Jack's Fish and Chip Shop Shelburne Road, Burlington
10.00 Meet at Rovers North, RT 128 Westford, VT.
10.30 Meet at the junction of RT108 and RT15 10.30 ish
11.00-11.15 Meet at The Olde English Inn in Stowe for Brunch and socailise.

Les,
right now I think I'm a go. I would meet at the 15 & 108 intersection. If something changes I'll let you know so you do not wait for me. Do you know a good spot there that I could find?
Bob

[Les Parker]

The Mobil Gas Station seems like a good place, yes?

[derekchace]

The Mobil in Jeff? I will be there in the Jag or Disco so we can bring the little dude along.

[siii8873]

Count me out, turns out I have different priorities for the weekend

[SafeAirOne]

Doesn't look like I'm going to be able to make the drive up either. :(

[VTBKRDS]

We'll be there. Try to meet you enroute somewhere.

[VTBKRDS]

Turned out to be pretty good weather for an early morning drive. Really made some awesome rally times through the Notch thanks to Les pulling the lead. Left those Minis in the dust.(LOL) Even got an "official" rally decal for my fender of shame. Thanks Les, for the event and the breakfast bonuses.

[Les Parker]

Thanks to all who made the trip. The weather was spectacular !

A good start by Ron at the Union Jack's and then meeting at RN, picked up the "crew" at Jeffersonville

(Landrover's and Jag. were first, Mini's rolled in just as we were about to leave). The drive over the notch

was very scenic, the clouds and mist rolled back as we ascended, something poetic about that !

Many thanks to all, pix and full event write up later.

Great of Thompson to create a Rallye Event sticker, thanks.

Good of Chris Francis to accomodate us in the deck space so we could be a noisy as we needed to be !

Many thanks to Mark Letorney for the donation of the "goodies"

And a Special Thanks to all for taking time out for a great drive, maybe an annual event ?

What do you think?

[Les Parker]

Derek, et al who joined in for the journey, can you email either me or Thompson any pix from the trip?

We're trying to put together a slide show.


Thanks, in advance.

[TSR53]

Photos from the event, enjoy.
