I would check the reviews of this show before anyone travels any distance. But the weather does look good this weekend.

This year it is combined with a classic car show and autojumble in the Avon and Wye halls and the gap in between, so no muddy ground. Weather looks promising for a nice drive.

Definitely going.

Well - that was a load of rubbish!!!!!!!!!!!

Minis were mostly mixed up with the 'Classics'. There were some nice Classics there but there were also a lot of cars there that would not turn my head, and surely a Classic car should make you turn to look at it when it passes you in the street, for example there were a lot of Volvos there but not a single Amazon, looked like Waitrose car park to me! The show should have been called 'Minis mixed up with others!!

The autojumble was poor by any standard and if Minimine had not been there there would have been no Mini parts specialists. Oh - there was a Mini panel stall there as well.

We were prepared to give AG a chance but that's it for us - no more.

To all those who say read the reviews of previous Malvern Mini shows - you were right.

shame you wasted a day. It used to be good but has got steadily worse over recent years. Sounds like this one has followed that pattern.

Also the local clubs were conspicuous by there absence.

It's a pity as it's such a good facility. I remember the days when both Avon a Wye halls and the large space in between were full of Minis and traders.

It is a shame, especially as good shows are thin on the ground at this time of year.

I used to love this show, and remember it always being packed out.
Andrew Greenwood has over the years killed it off, such a shame.
