Causeway Coast Mini Club - Morelli Italian Ice Cream Job

Post by minitravellerman »

Short notice I know for anyone on the mainland and further afield, but this weekend is the annual Causeway Coast Mini Club Mini weekend at Northern Ireland's north coastal resort of Portrush.

The event kicks off on Saturday evening with the "Dash O' The O'rish" run from the Bushmills Distillery, Bushmills to the Dunluce Centre, Portrush via a regroup at the North West 200 pits. This run is followed by tea and biscuits (and birthday cake of course) with a small prize giving for a few categories.

Sunday's static show at the Dunluce Centre, Portrush (sponsored by Morelli's Italian Ice Cream) is followed by an Italian Job drive through the town, along pedestrian zones, over the promenade, across footbridges, down steps (ramped!) etc.

I believe last year there were approx 500 Minis on display.

New for this year is Mini Sport who are now custodians of the 33 EJB replica built by the late Graham McConnell from Co Down, and she will be there with our very own Paddy Hopkirk.

Is anyone coming over (or across the border) for this fantastic event?
