Morris Minor Owners Club

just wondering who is going to this fantastic event im going on the sunday.

I only wish it was nearer to me ! Have fun.

I've not managed to blag a freebie this year so wont be going!

I was hoping to take my Series MM but as it is off the road it will have to wait for another year

I'm trying to avoid it. Takes me hours to get to work and back again.

I work at the Rolls Royce factroy and live the other side of the circuit. Will be cycling this year.

I'm going on the Saturday & have a pass for the pre 66 carpark

A few years ago I used to work in the slightly less glamorous council workshops down the road .we were right under a flightpath so spent the day watching the spitfires etc, oh and some work of course

I'm going on saturday, very much looking forward to it

As long as Bluebell is fixed in time after a big white van drove into the back of her, I shall be going on the Saturday and hopefully parking in the pre'66 car park.

I usually go on the Sunday but it's clashing with the Kent Branches Hop this year (they normally have their rally at the beginning of September) and I never miss that so got a very packed weekend coming up!

Johnathon, are you wearing a period white overall and flat cap? Lots of people did the two occasions I have been.

Nah , wear that everyday, so thought I'd just go in jeans and Tee shirt (hope we don't clash)

Last visit I was the squire. the previous an RAF officer. Dressing up isn't really my thing but for this event I make an exception. It's simply a must-do. Not that i'll eb there this time

blazer shirt and tie for me dont have 60s gear .

just wondering if anyone was going this year im off at 6 in the morning should be there by 830 fantastic day .

My first time there this year.

Fabulous day out and to be recommended, but take a picnic - refreshment prices are horrific. (The Earl of March is unlikely to go broke anytime soon!)

Lots of other Minors there too - I nearly wore out the camera.

£107 for 3 days is quite reasonable considering what is on offer but £125 for 4 people camping for 4 nights put me off as I wanted 2 nights camping for 1 person which would work out at £62.50 per night. A hotel would be cheaper if the were not all booked up.
There is always next year if I plan ahead.
Anyway there is a branch drive near Oxford tomorrow and I have polished my Series MM ready
