Need a favour - and you'll be famous

I have been contacted today by the one and only BBC Radio Norfolk. They have requested the NMOC's help in a radio feature to celebrate Mini 50 on Wednesday 26th August.

They want to have a couple of Mini's outside the Forum in Norwich so they can do a radio interview etc with the owners. I only have a rough time scale at the moment of between 10am and 1pm,

As I'll be unavailable do we have any one here willing to do it??

This is another great PR excercise for the club.

I have that day off work so I suppose if I haveee to I could bring the mini outside the forum, Im not overly good with the entire mini history so might be pretty useless with that but I would love to come along

thank you Harry. I'll mention it tonight and see if I can get a couple more to keep you company.

Thank youu! sorry I cant be there tonight! sounds like a good run

Sounds like a good idea for PR, not too sure about the interview side of things as my knowledge is not brilliant, but would definetely like to join the display at the forum.

working

Mini-less .... ;-(

thanks Alex.

If you need my Clubby there and me too i would be glad to help....

I'll phone them up this arvo.

I will tell them that I have the following available :-

Harry - One of the later cars
Alex - Mid 80's
Leigh - Modified
Tim - Clubby
Ron - Restored Mk1 Cooper

thanks for your help people, this is a good oppertunity for the NMOC to get some free advertising. so dont forget to keep plugging the club and forum

I'm sure I could provide some flyers for people to give out that promote the club and forum.

update:-

R/N are very happy that we have got 5 Mini's willing to show up. I'm waiting to hear how they want to play it now, as all the producers are in a meeting today.

could we have some for SATURDAY....???/ please....

Ok. I've had confirmation from the BBC about the NMOC PR Exercise.

We have obtained a permit for the 5 minis to be parked in front of the Forum (bottom of the steps, so no italian job stunts please) The interviews will take place live on air between 12 and 1pm so if the cars could be in place from say 11am?? as the reporter will need to brief you all.

Thanks for your help in this.

craig

Cheers Mr Craig......

Thanks Craig! this will be brilliant! really looking forward to it

Sorry, only just seen this. I could get something printed tonight but you'd have to collect them tonight too as you lot are off very early tomorrow aren't you. I'll be checking here later so if you REALLY want some and can collect later tonight let me know asap....

all the best to the wensday club . have a good day , sounds like a good p r event ,and the second time the NMOC has been invited to park at the foram entrance
Get some photos hopfully at the top of steps

Who would like to collect some flyers from me in time for this event?

Only 2 days to go!!!

Wow that has come round quick! I will get the camera charged up as well because it will look brilliant parked outside the forum.

I need to get the tyre shine out again then and get cleaning

Alex, should I come to yours before and we can both head in to the city together?

We should all meet up so we can arrive together..

How about the COMET car park.......?????

We might even see the jobs worth....??!

Yes it would be nice for us all to go in together
Comet sounds very good to me

Comet sounds good, what time?

I spoke to Ron Joseph at the weekend, he'll be getting there at 11am. Tim - did you get the flyers from Johnnie?
