Re: 2023 - Last London to Brighton Mini Run?
I have found that many of the car parks don't recognise white on black number plates. Nweither does the ANPR system. Nor do they recognise strange formats that aren't programmed in. My local car park card readers simply don't recognise my Golf GTi number plate format of two letters, a space, followed by three numbers..... a 1930's number on a 2010 year car!

Reported by the BBC and MailOnline...
London to Brighton Mini Run: Classic car event will not go ahead in 2024:-
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-66084657
London to Brighton Mini Run organisers blame expansion of ULEZ and rising costs as they axe popular car event:-
"Mini Run organisers also cited a lack of parking in Brighton, where the run ends.
A Brighton and Hove City Council spokesperson said they were in contact with the London and Surrey Mini Owners Club to try and save the event.
Council lead for events Alan Robins said: 'We are doing everything we can to save this important event for the city against the backdrop of rising costs for organisers.
'Council officers have today spoken with them to try and find working solutions that can make the event viable going forward.
'We are confident that when the Black Rock development is completed, we'll also be able to increase capacity and space for participants.
'The city's ULEZ only applies to buses in a small area of the city.
'We have so many excellent and historic events taking place in the city every year and we will do everything we can to support them and the economic benefits they bring.'"
