A BIG thank you to Trent Valley for another excellent event.
Great weather, fantastic location,superb organisation & an excelent display of Minis.
The only disapointing aspect is the ones that book to say they are going and dont turn up or if they do turn up leave very early and leave gaps in the cars.
We had 1 car from the Robin Hood Mini Club that did not turn up on the day, it was very anoying & frustrating because we could have filled the space with another car if we had known.
We are very much looking forward to Normanby Hall in June
Well Done Garath, Mike,Rachel & the Trent Valley team
Keep up the good work.

We expected there to be more traders too! They were booked and confirmed to attend, but didn't bother on the day which was a shame.

Having spoken to the guys at BIG, next year is planned to be a much bigger event, with several traders and possibly autojumblers as well. We hope to extend the south side to include food traders as well as Mini traders, using the area right up to the University. Watch this space!

We think that Lincoln BIG is still a bit of an unknown quantity as far as traders are concerned and saying that they'll attend and actually doing it are 2 very different things. We also organise Normanby Hall Mini Day in June and it's taken 5 years to really get that show on the map, so we'll do the same for Lincoln

The waterfront event has gone from strength to strength and with over 240 Minis turning up today (and a good number having to park in the multi storey because they hadn't booked in) we feel that traders will now see that it's worth the effort and will turn up next year.

As Gareth said if we manage to close off the link road to the south side we'd be able to use that extra space for even more Minis and traders and expand the event for 2012

Thanks to everybody who attended and Happy Mini-ing for 2011
