The Italian Job, with a difference

Mini SOD announcement for SHOWING OF THE ITALIAN JOB WITH MINI DISPLAY AT THE PICTURE HOUSE, PARBOLD

Mini Southport and Ormskirk District has just had confirmation that permission has been given to host a classic Mini display before a showing of a classic Mini movie at the Picture House, in Parbold, has been booked for Sunday, May 16!

The showing of The Italian Job will begin at 7pm, but we've been invited to put on a Mini display outside from 6pm, before being invited in to see the movie on their big screen (tickets cost £3 per person). We have also been given use of the venue's car park to put on the display, and are allowed as many as 30 Minis. I'm also planning to have a group meeting up at The Scotch Piper from 5pm, which will head in convoy to Parbold.

I'm also going to put the word in to both North West Minis and Leyland Minis to see if anyone there is up for this one-off event, but the Picture House organisers have told me that it will be branded as a Mini SOD event in their own publicity, so please let Brett Gibson, Mini SOD president, or myself know as soon as possible if you want to take part.

There will also be a piece in The Champion in the next fortnight to let people know about the event, so it should be a big success and a great way to watch The Italian Job as you've never seen it before.

To find out more or to confirm you'd like to join in, contact David Simister by email on david.simister@hotmail.co.uk or leaving a message on Life On Cars.

See you there!
