Reading this months Mini Magazine I see there is a Christmas Mini show on 1st December at Donington Park Exhibition Hall. But I can't seem to find any record of it online on the website it mentions:

 

http://www.classicshows.org/events.php

 

Any ideas? I would love to goto this now that the Mini in the dark show has been cancelled.

the email I had from them said the british mini club got involved as it was too close to bingley

That's stupid, its a completely different type of show. I like Bingley but was looking forward to MITD as MITP is definately the best show of the year.

I was trying to sort out a run to this for my mini club & could not find any details so i rand andrew greenwoods booking office and they said it was  cancelled due to the additional  costs donnington were adding on making it not finically viable.

The British mini club had nothing to do with mitd being cancelled. It was due to lack of traders because of the high costs that they were charging and other factors.

MINI IN THE DARK POSTPONED

Following consultation with the British Mini Club and their concerns over the proximity of the new ‘Mini In The Dark’ event to the date of the popular ‘Mini Fair’ event at Bingley Hall, Event Developments Ltd have decided to postpone the show pending a new date to be confirmed.

Exhibitors that had booked space at the event have already been notified and sent a full refund.

Mini In The Park remains unaffected - this event will take place at Santa Pod Raceway on Sunday 10th August 2014

 

this is on mitd facebook page for all to see

Yes all very well that it was on their Facebook page and what's on Facebook must be taken as gospel?

I have spoken to the British when this all kicked off and they had nothing to do with the show being axed at all. In fact the organisers of mitd were at BMD2 promoting it and in fact asked the British if they would go to the show, to which they said yes.

After all this kicked off a few weeks back BMC put out a statement reguarding this matter. I also did a bit of investigation and found out off a couple of mates that have trade stands at shows that they wanted a very high charge for trade stand space and not many were in fact going. Also i checked on the web site of the show ground and it was not on there events page for January which is strange. It looks like it was not well thought out and easy to blame some one else. 

The British had nothing to do with it because it did not interfere with Bingley hall and added their support to it.
