The below list of events is published in order to help all MG clubs in North America to be aware of other events in their area when they are scheduling their own events. This hopefully will prevent the scheduling of more than one event, on the same day, in the same area of the country. If you would like to add an event to this page, please email the coordinator Rick Brown . Please use basically the same format as below - this will enable me to just copy it into the web page from your email.
Before heading out to any of the below events you should first check with the contact given to ensure the dates are correct and that the event is still scheduled to take place as planned.

base for our 3 day driving adventure. It's located at the south entrance
of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and at the beginning of the
Blue Ridge Parkway. As with all of our Classic Minis United 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. Oh, and to experience
the power of nature, we're offering optional whitewater rafting! 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, if you
own a classic Mini go to the 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. We don't leave anybody behind! So, come join the 100+ classic Minis
before the world ends! Contact: Mike Guido. Phone: 321-890-9888. Email:
