It may just be me, but who's running the show... ?

Can't see squat about on the web, not even on the Stoneleigh show grounds website....

You got any 'publicly available' details ?

I'll come along if Jack will let me have my car back

just checked and it actually said in MiniWorld that the other Xmas shows were cancelled the ones in Barnsely and Kempton Park, NOT the stoneleigh one (one of these was gonna be on the same day as the stoneleigh one anyway)

Coventry = Stoneleigh.......(Stoneleigh being just outside Coventry).....which is why they are on the same day

Glad to see it still on...the Xmas show at the NAC was always a good 'un!

Latest from MiniMag's Facebook site....

Andrew Greenwood has confirmed that his Christmas Mini Show near Coventry will go ahead as planned, despite some reports that it had been cancelled. Greenwood says the show is almost full for trade and club stands, and will take place on Sunday, December 20. His comments come after a news report in another magazine mistakenly confused the Christmas show with another event at the Ricoh Arena.

Actually there was a seperate show being organised for the same day as the stoneleigh one but by different people at a different location, MiniWorld didn't mention anything about the stonleigh show being cancelled, as I said in my post before.

Its just people reading the mag wrong ... but because the 2 shows were gonna be on the same day its probably why people got confused



Just found an email I had received in January this year with all the details of the other Xmas shows

The Mini Christmas Shows Return

Some of you may remember those rocking Mini Christmas Shows from the period 1997 – 2003, complete with legendary show host John Price, Father Christmas, strange people, plenty of club and trade stands. Genuine Warmth On A Winter’s Day and some of the best and most loved shows we ever produced. Seems they have been missed by both the trade and the regular exhibitors. And we have missed them too. On a recent visit to a mini show after 5 years absence, the one question we constantly heard was ‘When are you going to organise another Christmas Show?’ So we thought about it and concluded that these people might just have a point. The only question was ’Can we find one or two venues?’ The answer to that was no, we found three!!

So put these dates into your diary

6 December – Mini Christmas Show North, Metrodome, Barnsley

13 December – Mini Christmas Show Midlands, Ricoh Arena, Coventry

20 December – Mini Christmas Show South, Kempton Park, Middlesex

No entry forms at the moment - just notification, but if you do want to part of these really fabulous shows that will also feature appropriate entertainment in 2009, plus a free gift of Sweeties to the little ‘uns from the real Father Christmas, please register with us by just sending a quick note to [email protected] to allow us to forward priority booking forms to you in a few months time. If you represent a club, an indication of just how cars you might like to enter would help.

A really great celebratory way to sign off the 50th anniversary year of the Mini.

So like I said these are the ones that have been cancelled as mentioned in MiniWorld

I have got most of my costume ready, just a couple more bits to get and then I'm done

[Jake Blues]

Ah I understand...my bad!
....I go to the Ricoh a couple of times a week (to Tesco ) and have never seen any posters about a Mini show there...probably why it's been cancelled ...that and only a week and 6 miles away from a more established show/venue.

Important note to anyone organising a club stand, trade stand, or anything else that needs power.

given that some of you may turn up with twinkle lights, or a kettle - you'll need electricity ??

NO POWER IS LAID ON AT THE EVENT FOR ANY CLUB STAND, TRADE STAND OR ANY OTHER AREA

if you want power you have to book and pay for it - £60.00 per plug socket rated at 3Kw. 3Kw is gopnna be enough for most things, even boiling a kettle, and £60.00 by exhibition standards is very cheap.

phone 02476 696 301 and talk to Sarah to book any electrics you may want.
