I'm proud to say TMF have a stand the the British Mini Fair! There is a very limited number of spaces for minis but if you would like to be involved in the stand please send me a pm - even if we can't fit your mini in the stand is themed so many members of TMF can get involved and be recognised! I'll also need help making the stand itself if anyone is willing .... it will involve some woodwork and making signs :) To be on the stand for health and safety the organisers have said the mini cannot have more than a 1/4 tank of fuel and batteries must be disconnected. Passes will be received by TMF early January.

We will also need to arrange a good time for everyone to meet at the stand for a group photo.

More news about the British Mini Fair itself can be found here. I've been going there myself since 2004 and I always really enjoy it so I'm over the moon we've managed to get a stand this year! I personally love the amount of trade stands, that nearly all of it is indoors and seeing mini friends for the first show of the year! I've found information about which traders will be there here.

I'm not going to give away the theme of the stand so it will be a nice suprise but the British Mini Club have themed the event on 50 years of the Mini Van so it is titled 'Commercial breakdown', the stand itself can have any type of mini on though. Also if you own a van or estate and you can't make it on the TMF stand but on display at the pride of ownership you can get special passes if you see the above link :)

Oh he will now thank you but he won't be on the stand, he's been on enough club stands this year despite his tatty state and as there are only three spaces available he won't be one of them :thumbsup:

I'm thinking of drawing names from a hat for spaces if folks would like to continue showing their interest :thumbsup: I can look into a meal maybe for the Sat if there are enough peeps wanting one? I also wondered about setting up the stand early on the Sun once the minis are in place - I think I get passes for stand helpers, I've not got the paperwork here to check though but I could really do with a few more pairs of hands please.

And finally please can I start a list of who from here will be at the show and if you would like to lend your body to participate in the TMF stand (in the way of wearing a name badge - TMF name and first name) please let me know - I don't expect you to hang around the stand all day but it would be really good if you could be there for the club stand judging please, it will make sense I promise ;) :)

I've decided I'm going to make as many badges up before hand as I can but will make some blank ones too should anyone on the day want to wander up and take part :thumbsup: Just need to order some dodgy things from ebay, see how my wood work skills have faired from lack of use, get rid of my tonsilitis and get cracking with the stand :P

We will hopefully be there although maybe not in the Scamp as I don't really want to leave him outside considering the ever changing weather and the BMC won't let the Scamp enter any catagories, their last excuse was it isn't recognised as a Mini........................ apparently :( :thumbsup:
