We have opened the
Carlisle 2010 forum to help facilitate some early planning for next year's
big 25th anniversary event of the Merkur Marque. So if you'd like to
start on your convoy planning, make a suggestion for what you'd like to see
this year, or anything else that happens to be on your mind regarding
Carlisle, check it out
here.
Also, if you want
your convoy information posted in the 2010 planning pages, send me an email
to webmaster@merkurclub.com
with all the information.

MCA (IMON) mailing list status update
20-June-2009 6:00p EST
The mailing list
is currently offline due to an unexpected problem with our hosting company.
Our team of volunteers is working to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
Status updates will be posted here and in the General Section of the MCA
forums.
Changes coming to the IMON mailing list
14-June-2009 5:00p EST
In order to reduce
costs and improve service, the list will be moving to a new ISP within the
next couple weeks. We are trying
to make this change as seamless as possible, but there may be a short outage
and/or some action required by all current subscribers to maintain their
subscription. We will keep
everyone updated on any possible required actions via this list. Furthermore, we'll post updates on
the MCA home page as well as on the MCA Forum General Section, in a thread
entitled, "IMON Updates".
