What superb display of new MINIs in Pride of Ownership at Mini Fair. The quality this year has again moved up a level. I was one of the judges and boy was it a tough job.
We don't use points at this show which makes it doubly hard. We spoke to every owner and the enthusiasm was incredible from everyone and long may it continue. We are working on ways to expand the concours at Himley for new MINI and we will be introducing special awards. More on that over the coming months.
A few comments have been made regarding the 1/4 tank of fuel ruling. This is out of our hands the Staffordshire Fire Service introduced this. Originally they wanted nil fuel in everyones tank. After a lot of negotiaton we managed to get them to agree to 1/4. Unfortunatly they will not budge on that. This rule has also Been introduced at the NEC now.
We are aware of the lack of MINI traders, we contact all the ones we can and for some reason they do not like to come to shows. Personally I think it is an excellent chance to advertise your business direct to MINI people. We will be working to get them to come next year. If you know any traders perhaps you could let them know what they are missing.
As a club we have supported and promoted MINI ever since the first designs appeared in 1995 and we will continue to do so. The majority of people who run the BMC own and run a MINI
We are trying to build the MINI scene at shows and please help us to do this
