A very well organised show by The British Mini Club as usual with hundreds of Mini's on display on Club Stands or Show 'n' Shine or just parked up in the car parks.

Far too many BINI's for my liking but that seems to be a common trend in all the major shows these days.

A good show overall although has been better in the past.

The weather was kind, only threatening to rain once ot twice. A bit windy but with sunshine most of the day.

A good selection of the well known traders there, Mini Sport, Sommerfords, Mini Spares W&P etc etc.
Both Mini World and Mini Magazine stands set up (although at opposite ends of the ground !!! ;D)

No pics I'm afraid as left the camera in the car all day!!!

There are always two sides to every story. Listening to just one is not a good idea.

As ever the show was a Goodun. Didn't buy much STUFF and the STUFF that I did want had either sold out or some other eejit had bought it before I'd clapped eyes on it.
