Bingley hall

Fitzy, My first Bingley hall, so did not know what to expect. It was cold
and windy and a 2 hr drive to get there. Signage for the 2 queues to get in
was poor. One for pay at the door and one for pre booked tickets.
Luckily the traders I saw at Malvern were there so managed to order my seat
covers for the son's Advantage that will soon be coming out of the
restoration.

I was a bit disappointed though as well as you

Hi Martin,
yes I totally agree, the queuing system was a absolute sham,
pre booked tickets are supposed to fast track you straight in to the
building,,, but not in this case, as you quite rightly said, the signage for
pay on the door and pre book was none existent,
hope you got what you needed for the re build,
Maybe put a link to some pic,s

Hi Fitzy.

I didn't go this year but I hear from others that it was poor compared
with previous years.

Was it still £10 to get in? It always seems a bit steep to me for
punters to pay that sort of money... I have never tried to run a Mini
Show so I don't know how the cash flows but it must put some folks off
(2 people = £20 - could be a lot more with petrol and meals etc.

I'd be interested to see the accounts for such a show...?

Best wishes

Peter

Hi Pedro,
yes others I have spoken to also have complained the event was a money maker
for the BMC,
I am by no means complaining about the cost of the weekend, just the
disappointment of the event,
what we where expecting and what we got where completely different,
I have emailed the organisers and voiced my opinion,
Usually my wife and me, travel down in the mini on the B roads, stop for
lunch etc,etc,, the day before, stop over in one of the Premier lodges,
situated down the road from the showground, this is how we do most of these
shows,
I have just worked out its cost us £195 total,
that's hotel, fuel, food, drinks, tickets,etc etc
Some pic's on here if anyone is interested,

Hi,
This is what happens when big business starts to horn in on the Mini shows.
They are only in it for pure profit. The shows organised by the Mini clubs
are always reasonably priced and much better organised, with features that
the Mini owners actually want to see.

How about a nice shiny penny. A rim job sounds delicious. Maybe she
could chew on the fur also. My grommet is puckering.

If Fitzy stopped doing rimjobs, she would be unemployed.
