After another fantastic Hay weekend, I wonder once again, why more people don't make the effort to come to such a well organised, and full weekend of Mini.
So whats your excuse? :wink:

Actually Aaron I've asked myself this question several times in the past and this year I asked myself the question quite seriously, even looking up where on earth Hay is. I'm just not sure about 8 hours in the mini and back!?

I tried. I even had a count down on my phone. Didn't get the car in a "complete" state in time. I actually got the car registered on the Friday, by which point it was a little too late to make the 12+ hour drive.
Next year!

I would seriously book in early. I doubt that there will be alot of accommodation left for a late booking.

What if I told you that Hay is not just about having your Mini there and competing in a motorkhana?!!! Seriously! Although that adds to it all, if you can't get a Mini there just come anyway. It's hard to explain to people who have never been...

At the very least! Obviously it adds to the weekend if you have a Mini there and compete, but not doing it shouldn't keep you away!!!
