Yes I have seen a few bombing about but no word of a club, maybe if there was enough of us we could form something?

Some good local classics clubs may provide a little friendly competition but there are certainly a few minis in the general area.

im in widnes...

 

 

years ago we used to meet at a pub in penketh by the little police station, this is maybe 25 years ago now, then we moved to chevvies in warrington, then onto lymn truck stop, i dont know what happened then as i got out of minis and went into Ladas!

 

There are quite a few minis about around here, would be good to goto a pub sometime and say hello to a few faces.

 

 

Are you the guy with the grey/black van?

Warrington Mini Club used to be listed on a clubs list as meeting at the Mascrat Manor (now Juniper Farm) on one of the M6 roundabouts in Woolston. It's got a big carpark ideal for car clubs

Awesome! So shall we make some sort of plan then? I am new to the area so wouldn't no the best pub or place to meet so maybe someone more in the know about the area could pick the meeting place maybe somewhere in the Widnes Warrington area?

I have counted 7 of us including me interested.....

I'm in the Liverpool area. I have to say we are short of a local club really, but there are a few of interest knocking about.

 

Minimadmerseyside are a Formby based club. Not sure they have meets anymore, but they do organise the excellent lakeland tour in June.

 

Wirral Minis. Hold monthly meets outside Chester & organise the Wirral to Llandudno.  http://wirralminis.com/find-us/

 

Manchester Minis.

 

North West Mini Club.

 

For general classics try

 

North West Casual Classic - I've been to a couple of meets with these guys, seem like a good bunch. https://nwcasualclassics.online/wp/

 

I believe there is a car club in Clockface. https://phoenixcarclub.wordpress.com/

 

Need to find somewhere for myself too.
