2009 saw the 50th Anniversary of the Mini, the 20th Birthday of the Irish Mini Owners Club, and the 10th Anniversary of the Irish Mini Owners Club's MTM annual run.
1999 was the 40th anniversary of the launch of the first Mini in 1959.
The Irish Mini Owners Club celebrated this important event in 1999 by organising the Mizen to Malin Reliability Run for Minis of all ages. MTM is now an annual club event, continues to be an important part of the Irish Mini scene.
As a Mini owner and enthusiast, we would like to invite you to participate in this interesting and challenging event.
Details of this event include the following:
-
(1) A non-refundable entry fee of •50.00 for paid-up IMOC members (includes driver briefing, road map and route instructions, a limited breakdown service, finisher's award etc).
For non-members the entry fee is •60.
Club membership forms can be downloaded on www.irishminis.ie.
To cover currency conversion charges, Sterling cheques should be made out for 50 pounds
(2) A list of accommodation options for the Friday and Saturday nights will be sent out with entry form receipts along with details of how to make your accommodation booking.
Special hugely discounted club rates have been agreed with 2 hotels.
(3) Registration: driver briefing will be held on Friday 7th May at 8.00pm.
All entrants are requested to attend this briefing.
(4) The first Mini will leave Mizen Head on Saturday May 8th at 6.00am;
(6) The planned route to Malin Head will involve a distance of approx 450 miles in one day, hence the early start!
(7) A number of Passage Controls will be present on the route and participants are requested to check in at each control during the day.
(8) A Lunch and Refuelling Halt will take place midway along the route and will be marked with the passage controls on the route map.
(9) To facilitate late arrivals on the Saturday night, a prize-giving ceremony with presentation of finishers' awards and spot prizes will be held on Sunday morning, the 9th of May.
* It is important that participants ensure that their cars are in good mechanical running order and capable of completing the event;
* A limited breakdown service will be provided throughout the event for those unfortunate to require assistance!
Details of this service will be provided at the drivers briefing on the Friday night.
* We would remind participants that this is a non-competitive event.
It is NOT a race nor is it a rally.
All participants must observe the speed limits and Rules of the Road throughout the event.
* All cars must have current insurance covering the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
The planned route passes through scenic parts of Ireland, allowing the cars to maintain a steady pace to complete the event we've tried to minimise possible delays on the route.
We hope you will join us in this challenge.
We are particularly interested in having as many different Mini derivatives such as
Riley Elfs, Wolseley Hornets, Mokes, Commercials etc. taking part in MTM 2010.
It won't be a race so don't feel the older or smaller-engined cars will be left behind!
