the vibrant national club that we all enjoy today. Eagle Ridge Resort
& Spa is the perfect choice to be the headquarters for Conclave

October 13-16, 2010 Erwin, TN. - Mini 51 - Autumn in the Appalachians
The Classic Minis United Mini 50 "Party in the Smokies" was
a HUGE success, so we're keeping the same formula for our Mini 51. At
the Mini 50 we got to see the blooming beauty of Spring, now we'll get
to see the changing of the leaves for Fall. The dates we chose are right
in the middle of the leaves changing. Also, October is the driest month
for this area. Add in the mountain roads, a beautiful campground, a
really nice hotel nearby, and 100+ classic Minis and we'll have an event
that could top our Mini 50! This year we chose Erwin, Tennessee as the
stage for our 3 day driving adventure. Located in the northeastern corner
of Tennessee in the Appalachian Mountains you'll get to drive your Mini
on some of the most beautiful roads in North America. As with all of
our CMU events, we like to drive, and that's what we'll be doing. We
will have drives each of the three days with plenty of stops and things
to see. We will also have a scavenger hunt, swap meet, beer tasting
and some fun things at night that will be announced when everything
is confirmed. If you haven't been to a CMU event before, we do it differently;
we like to drive/cruise a lot and see all around the area we're visiting.
With this being a CMU event, you must be a member to enter a Mini. Membership
is free, go to the join page at our website and become a member! As
with all of our events, this is for everybody, but all of the drives/cruises/anything
is only for classic Minis and its variants produced from 1959-2000,
no exceptions. There's always room to ride in someones Mini if
you come in something else. Contact: Mike Guido. Phone: 321-724-8812.
