Hi Guys I agree. I also find the BMC events to be very badly organised, 3
yrs ago the bingley hall event had the main parking acroos the road in
another field, they put up a manned tempory crossing but by 2:30pm they had
removed it. it was an absolute sham and again £10 quid each to get in as
oppose 10 quid per car!. I also had a run in with them at the Himley hall
event when they did the stay over and big screen italian job. took us over 2
hours to get out. the parking guides were emptying the top carparks only and
everyone by the enerance gate was stuffed untill i got on the radio and told
them. but only to receive aload of abusive screaming
I have arranged and run many classic car shows, vehicles and railway events
and its not that hard to do a good job but oh so very easy to do a bad one.
I think the point here is that the BMC are looking at it from making money
point of view. Not the mini spirit way! maybe they should join up with the
MINIFINITY Group who also have lost the way and alienate fellow mini owners
from other clubs!

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
