Hmmm wonder if mine will be ready

Do you know which club/minites will be going Julie?
Yep. There'll be
- Mini Car Club of NSW (probably around 70 - 80 members going)
- ACT Mini Car Club
- Victorian Mini Club
- Mini Car Club of South Australia
- Modified Mini Car Club of South Australia (aka Hotbricks)
- Ausmini
and of course the Western Australia people (not sure what club they're from)
We used to get a few Mini folk from Qld make the trip but they now have a huge Show 'n' Shine on the same weekend which I know at least 16 of our members are going to.
The Mini Nationals in Hay have been going for 38 years and then a few years ago the Mini Owners Club of Queensland decided they'd have from what I hear a fantastic Show 'n' Shine on the same weekend. Shame it's on the same dates as Hay.
Yes, Hay is a bloody long drive for a drink, a motorkhana and a Show 'n' Shine but it a social gathering steeped in tradition and I've made some life long friends there. Not only fellow Mini enthusiasts but the local Hay community as well, they absolutely love the Minis coming to town and go all out for us.
I wouldn't miss it.
