Frank,

That's alot to think about, but I must say it's been in the back of my mind 
since attending my first Spree this past Spring in Pa.

Being an avid Mini owner also, I am fortunate to be able to attend Mini Meet 
East every year. In addition to that, once every five years, on the 5 year 
anniversary of the introduction of the Mini, the Mini community from across the 
nation bands together for East Meets West. This time around in 2004 however, it 
will be called West Meets East. Those once in every five year events are 
typically held in a  more central location. This year it will be outside 
Chicago.

Each year however for the seperate east and west meets, they are usually held 
closer to their respective coasts and fortunately they are hosted by some of 
the many local and regional Mini clubs. Usaully we count on anywhere between 
100 to 150 cars at these annual events, and the same usaully goes for the East 
Meets West.

It's a tremendous undertaking to stage one of these events, so to find enough 
Sprite enthusiasts capable and willing to take it on every year may be 
pushing it at first. It sounds to me that you are talking about it being a one 
man 
show with a few dedicated helpers, similar to how Rick has been handling it in 
the past. How about once every other year at least, or at the most, every 
third year. I agree...once every five years is just too darn long between 
events.
