Is there any active clubs around the Wigan area...?

 

Theres supposed to be Leyland Mini Club but been on forum and nothing active on there this year....?

 

Not too sure if North West Mini Club is still going or not either...?

 

Anyone in the Wigan that might be interested in a local meet...?

I'm in wigan and would be interested too. However my car is still in pieces and I can't seem to get in the mood to put it back together.😩
This may raise my enthusiasm.

Hi guys try Northern Monkeys Mini Club on Facebook. We meet last Tuesday of the month in Adlington at the Bay Horse Inn. There's a good group of us, some with projects but a fair amount of minis will be there as well I'm sure.

We started off with about 6-7 local people, soon as I got my first one in the road, everyone else took theirs off >_<

I know of the two clubs you mention, but have no idea what they are doing at present. There is also manchester minis.  I wouldn't rely too much on their forums as Facebook is killing local club forums. Look the clubs mentioned up on facebook, you'll likely find them active on there if they're still going.

Thanks for the answers folks..... only 1 problem...... I don't do Facebook..... and I do agree that it is killing forums....

 

I'll try and get to the meet at the Northern Monkeys on the 27th at Adlington as thats not a million miles away from me....

No worries Minifreek1, we normally meet about 7.30pm ish, my name's Elliot (unsurprisingly) I'll keep a look out for you but there will probably be at least one person with a hoodie/t shirt on etc. What's your name by the way?

I'm in winstanley. My mini is in bits at moment. Had it couple of years but lost motivation to do anything. Will start again soon. Only thing is I'm a novice welder so everything is taking for ever.

I know how you feel mate, I have 3 welding machines...

 

1 Arc welder for heavy duty stuff...

 

2 MIG welders, 1 works the other works but has no feed, bought from just round the corner from you too.... fella with a Mk1 Escort Mexico...

 

I can't weld, well I can but I don't think I could offer out my services as a welder LOL

 

Best thing to do is practice - lots - then try it on your motor....

Hi guys I was an absolute novice with welding but did the classic car resto course at Bolton college (with 4 of the other guys from the club) and then had a go with my mini. Have a look at my build thread here;
