Welcome to Bury Mini Club's web site.

               The 2026 season is nearly over!

With just ew events remaining this , we are looking forward to 2026 and to see what events are the favoutites to 

With the 2026 season at an end, matters turn to end of season events and preparing for next years journeys and shows. The events page is being updated as we hear of confirmed dates and there are quite a few on there already. We had some good shows in 2026 but the costs of attending the shows of which we ARE the show are getting a bit of a problem with some clubs and members. Should some of the entry prices increase, we will take a long hard look at whether we want to attend. It is hoped that other Clubs will feel the same and send a message out to the organisers that see classic car owners as cash cows. We never see the accounts for these events so we don't know how much was made and where it goes - we only see headlines that we made so much for charity, but were there other costs that we don't know about?

For 2027, there will still be quite a few cars and coffee mornings and we could visit some either as a Club or as an individual if you would prefer. Details are available and they are just a few hours long in the mornings - you can come and go as you please for most of them. Please check on our facebook page as organisers can put their events there. The Kersey Mill visit on the Future Events page is a popular event - details are there.

Please be patient with the finalising of the Future Events page as it is sometimes difficult to find the date from the organisers, especially if they have changed for the new year.

One Club event that raised £500 for our charities in 2026 was the Bury Mini Club Memorial Suffolk Run from Bury to Dunwich, which took place on Sunday 9th August. We hope to return to Dunwich as they looked after us very well considering the fire that occurred on the heath just before the run. The provisional date is Sunday 8th. We visited the EAAA headquarters in Norwich and they thanked us for the donation and we will donating any profits to the EAAA and SARS in 2027.

For those who are organising events perhaps for next year and would like them noted on this site, please contact me (details on the Contacts page) as we need to get out and exercise our Minis!

Update on the meeting venue this year: The Bunbury Arms has closed (again!) but we are lucky enough to have transferred our meetings and Christmas meal to the Ravenwood Hall Hotel at Rougham and the first meeting there was be September 24th. Same date of 13th December for the Christmas meal and all meeting dates are in their diary for 2027.

We still meet on the last Thursday of each month except January, June (fish and chip run to Peyton Plaice), November (usually the ten pin bowling night) and December (we have the Christmas meal on Sunday 13th December 2026 as already mentioned). 

Members can order food in advance if you wish to have a meal before the meeting although this is not always necessary. Best to ring and check first. 

​​​

The meetings usually start at about 8.00pm and are very informal. We have the chance to chat over a (soft) drink about our latest upgrades, engine problems, Mini runs, club stands at local events and any other Mini related matters.

We have a "Trading Post" section on this site where you can sell or buy bits and pieces or whole cars! Advertising is at no cost to you. Click on the trading post page to see what's there.

If you have an interest in the car and want to think about joining before committing, just turn up at the next meeting or event to parade your pride and joy, along with the rest of us.

If you are thinking about joining in 2027, see the details below.

The website needs updating but apologies from the editor for not keeping it more up to date. With the new 2027 events looming, a concerted effort will be made to make the site current and updated regularly when all the 2027 events are known. 

For the most up to date comments you can look at our facebook page "Bury Mini Club" and this will have pictures and other information on it.

We will leave the pictures below for the time being and the first two pictures below show (most) of us preparing for the 2018 Easter run at Ram Meadow.  

The third picture shows a few of us at Cars by the Lake in 2018. This event is now no longer held.

More pics will be posted here eventually, but some later pictures are already on the facebook page, so give it a look!

As stated, the BMC run mentioned above will donate any money made from the draw etc. to the Suffolk Accident Rescue Service and The East Anglian Air Ambulance - we hope we won't ever need them, but they do a great job and rely on donations.  We thank our main sponsor, Newton Commercial, who donated a £150 voucher for the 2026 run and we hope they will continue their sponsorship in 2027.
