2011 events diary

[tintoptom]

Happy New Year all,

One thing I want to do this year is make a real effort to get out to as many meets as possible... In spite of my best intentions I always seem to miss the ones I've been meaning to visit for years.

With this in mind I've taken it upon myself start a thread for 2011 events - which i hope will provide some inspiration and maybe facilitate us meeting each other a bit more. So please add any events you like the look of / are planning to attend and hopefully the list will grow and a few faces will be put to names along the way!

Here's a few of the obvious and well known ones - but I reckon the best thing would be to get small / local / little known events on here too as well as non UK events:

Mini centric events:
Bingley hall: 30th January
Stanford hall
Mini in to park: 14th August
Mini Cooper day at Beaulieu

Donnington Historic festival: 30th April - 2nd May

You may want to add the following

events outside the UK:
Spa 6 Hours 22nd-25th Sept (Masters, U2TC and 6 Hour Race will all have Mini's in action)
6 rounds of the French Mini Cooper Challenge, inlcuding Pau, Dijon and Le Mans (Bugatti Circuit) if my memory serves me correctly.

and the goodwood revival in September (far better than the FoS)

Cheers guys,

yeah I agree Al. The Revival is much better! I thought I'd added it!

Any other suggestions anyone?
