Bristol Miniday 2010
Sunday 6th June
Washingpool Farm, Easter Compton, Bristol, BS35 5RE
| Camping was back! This year's Bristol Miniday was set in a fantastic new location at Washing pool Farm. As the midday sun shone, Saturday afternoon saw traders and clubs eager to set up camp for a chilled out evening with a few beers together. | ![]() |

A fantastic Sunday morning set the scene as hundreds of minis both new and old flooded into the site. Avid Show ‘n’ Shine competitors lined up with polish in hand to impress the ever-professional judges and officials from Six ex mini club. Mini Severns took care of the later cars whilst the hotly contested club competitions commenced; with big prize money on offer this was to be great fun for everyone. |
| The trade arena provided a great mini-mix as always and some people hunted for their chosen parts whilst others browsed the show cars with an ice cream or admired the custom paint and parker jackets of Mod scooter display. New for this year was an off road track where young Mini stock car drivers and grass track racers showed off the handling and performance of this fantastic marque. Those who preferred something more sedate could try their hand at Len’s driving skills. A light lunchtime shower cooled off the clubs ready for the afternoon. |

Kids entered silly competitions for fun or did the treasure hunt whilst clubs continued battle with Ball and Spoon races, Spot the ball, Mini in matches and drinking games. A short Mini ICE demo concluded the Show ‘n’ Shine judging whilst a Girls and Boy’s penalty shootout eventually saw Somerset Mini Owners Club win the £200 first prize, closely followed by £100 for South Devon, £50 for Torbay and the small but totally dedicated Renegades club. Yeovil Mini mania walked off with £100 for best club stand, a tribute to their dedication. |
| The show concluded in fabulous sunshine as Six ex presented trophies to the Show ‘n Shine winners (click here to see who won what). A fantastic weekend was had by all and we hope to make this a camping party weekend for 2011 – See you then! | |
