Run pictures for 2003

Will you be ready?

May 3rd -- 5th, 2003

May 3rd through May 5th of 2003 will be the 5th year in a row that Miatas have swarmed San Luis Obispo County searching for Madonna.  What are we searching for you ask?  FUN!  Each year we have found it, but we also always leave wanting more.  The Fabulous Madonna Inn is our headquarters for this 3 day and 2 night adventure.  As a Searcher you can expect to drive nearly 1000 miles during the Search (We are a Driving Club, you know).  You can expect to Eat in great quality and quantity (We are an Eating Club, you know).  You can expect to see lots of great cars besides our Miatas at the Morro Bay car show (We are a Car Club, you know).  And, you can expect to laugh and spin yarns with your fellow Miataphiles (That is our Mission Statement, you know).

All of this AND the Madonna Inn.  The Madonna Inn known for it's 109 unique rooms is much of the fun.  Our annual room hopping evening to see what rooms each Searcher has selected has become the most anticipated part of the Search.  Coupled with a banquet, fun runs, the trips to and from the Inn, and the Car Show, the Search for Madonna annually returns some tired but happy travelers to their respective homes...anticipating the next Search.

To see details of previous Searches, please go to www.sandiegomiataclub.org an click on newsletter.  The June 2002 newsletter carries the review of the 2002 Search,    and the June 2001 newsletter highlights the 2001 Search.  Also, to see pictures from the 2002 Search, go to www.miatafun.net and click on the Mata Club pages, including picture pages and go to either SDMC or SOCALM (this is a joint event) and then click on the Madonna Inn event button.  There are three pages of pictures shot by Tom Wood.

How do you become a Searcher for 2003.  It is easy...and fun.  Go to the Madonna in website, www.madonnainn.com and click on the "109 Unique Rooms" button.  Browse through the rooms and select you top three choices to reserve.  Then call the Madonna Inn at (800) 543-9666 and ask for group reservations, Barbara, and tell her you are with the Miata club.  Give her your first choice and she will see if it is available, and if it isn't go with #2 and so on.  After confirming your room, please notify Steve Waid of your room name and number.  Then, just wait.  The anticipation will become almost unbearable after a few months, but May 3rd is not THAT far away.
