Booked my Hollands Wood pitch tonight for a cold nights camping on the Saturday night before my annual treasure hunt at Bulee! Anyone up for a few beers at the Rose and Crown to break the evening up?? It's normally a good night!!

Tim

Count me in Tim. Is H going??

So who will be in Brockenhurst on Saturday evening then? Would be great to put names to faces!

Tim

I'll be at Hollands Wood with the Moke Club, however I'll have my son with me so can't stray far.
Come and say Hi.....

I'll be there of course, in the usual position. My first Beaulieu was 1983, if memory serves, which I think was organised by the Cooper Club. Since then I have only missed once, when it clashed with the IMM in Lido Pomposa, Italy.
Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

Yep we are going down from Manchester very early morning. Should be another good day out.

Great Day at Beaulieu today! the sun was shining on a load of awesome minis. A little disappointed that UPR didn't come away with any silverware but there were many cars that were much cleaner. The judge told me that the original side trim should be all one piece and wondered why I had cut the stainless steel side side trim into three pieces on each side? (do I sound bitter??)

I always said that the stainless side trim couldnt possibly be original.....plastic from a roll is the way to go!!

Some really nice cars there today but not many as original as UPR! Love Beaulieu and it is one of the highlights of the year but i think the Concours has lost its shine!.....Did you see what i did there!

I will always attend Beaulieu but for me the future of Mini shows has got to be based on our very own Blyton because it has atmosphere and not just polish!!

Posted by Steve Harris on the MCR Forum:

"Very pleasant & relaxing day at the MCR Beaulieu day on Sun 8th June on DEWS Club stand until someone driving far too fast in the Datapost Mini scattering gravel & dust everywhere , nobody was impressed as cars & persons covered in dust - good job nobody was injured as children were very close by - this being totally irresponsible & spoilt the atmosphere - perhaps a 5 mph sign for next year !!"

You always get one.
