IMM 2009 / Mini 50

Ok so I've had a quick look at the Mini 50 website. NMOC can book a one day clubstand BUT heres the following problems:-

* only 3 cars on the stand
* No car movement on the show field until 18.30!!
* May not be any space left as its allocated on a first come first served basis.

If we attend as joe public then price of the show is £12 per adult 8yrs - 16yr olds £8.

More details here :- http://www.mini50.com/

So bearing the above in mind whos up for the main event of this Mini 50 show season.

1. Craig

Now this I don't understand????
If you can't move until 18.30, but, all non-IMM attenders MUST be off site by 18.00 we appear to have fallen foul of some sort of Brummie time travel trick??????? Perhaps Tim might be able to explain?

Anyway 3 cars is of no use to us at all. There isn't a fair way to allocate the spots.
I say we go Joe Pubic!!!!!!

Opinions please folks.

As long as i get a sticker or something to say I've attended Mini 50 I dont care.

Joe Public vote here.

I plan to go on the Saturday by Jag.
My reasoning for this as follows.
Sunday is the last day and many of the continental visitors will have departed and taken their exotic machinery with them, leaving a rearguard and all the usual cars we see at the UK shows. And the IMM is our chance to see Europes finest.

That makes a lot of sense.
Would it be possible for you Craig?

Saturdays are best for me. means no holiday needed

Lets put that to the club. I'm happy to do Saturday as well.

is any one thinking of doing the full 3 days of the event closing date is 31st of may let me no asap please

at £55 per adult to camp in Brum city centre, thats a no from me.

yes it is a lot of money but how much was imm holland and germany next year its the biggest show of the year and hundreds of club stands will be there but not ours cant help thinking its because its in brum if its was in norwich,silverstone,santapod i bet we would do the three days and if its 12 pounds to get in why not stay in a bandb or a travellodge just out of brum there looks like plenty to do morning,afternoon and nite theres a mini run on the sat would be great fun to go as a group instead of all that way to come back a few hours later me my self would rather pay the money and miss say mini in the park same cars same thing every year this is a chance to see some cars u wouldnt normally see

Holland was approx £35 per adult. Dont get me wrong IMM is a good show, but after doing Norwich in 04, Holland 08, I've seen most of the cars. I plan on going to Germany and making it my holiday.

I am also very restricted to holidays from work, hence why I plan on going on the Saturday as I work Sunday night - Thurs night. This is the main reason for me not attending the whole wkend, along with the price.

just been realy looking forward to this show shame you have to work but it is far to much money for a mini show considering how much it was to go to holland not sure if im going to do the 3 days if not defo come with u guys have u decided sat or sunday

We're planning on Saturday. Hit the middle day. (plus I save a days holiday)

im up for that spent alot this week with the kids off school had a great day out at dinosaur park come a long way since it first opened asked about the purple mini limo that was made for the lottery advert it used to be there but the buggers scraped it about 3 years ago what a shame

last I heard the car was sold as a going concern with a mighty 850cc

Its a new one on me....????????????????????

Please dont take any notice of the price that was quoted at last nights club night for the 1 day show entry into Mini 50.

Price IS £15 per adult per day and not the £50 a certain member kept quoting!!

I can confirm this, and to be fair the IMM 2009 website does not make this very clear and you have to do some clicking to get the info.
Also you can buy entrance on the day, which you couldn't at the Norwich showground in 2004.

But can Michelle get us a club stand?
I knew it wasn't £50!!!!! where the hell did that come from?

perhaps thats what hes told the wife to give him more money in there to spend on his mini lol

We're up for it, but will be going Pug powered..

Is anyone meeting in the morning so can go in a convoy?[/i]
