Welcome to Bury Mini Club's web site.

                         Have a quiet Winter!

Work on the site continues and we are getting there with updates, just a few outdated pics left but good for nostalgia! The update on future events also continues but we are getting to the end of the season now. There have been some new events and some re-surfaced but some have been cancelled for ever. We have had a few runs to places of interest this year and are hoping to do a few more in 2025. The Go Karting was interesting to say the least and we will be having another go this year.

More events are being cancelled, the latest being the London to Brighton run and Euston Rural Pastimes. Such a shame but there we go. Lavenham was cancelled but was reinstated.

We may try a few cars and coffee mornings if there are a few near and handy but any other ideas, please check on our facebook page and organisers can put their events there.

We will provide a new future events page as and when we know the dates for next year.

One Club event that raised £550 for our charities was the Bury Mini Club Memorial Suffolk Run from Bury to Southwold, which took place on Sunday 11th August, following the heavy rain and cancellation of the run on 7th July. We hope to do another in 2025.

​

For those who are organising events 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 - with the new landlord, Chris, at the Risby Crown and Castle calling me and asking if we wanted to reconvene there, it was decided that as from the July 2024 meeting, we would meet at the Crown and Castle. Thanks to the Rushbrooke Arms for helping us out (following the earlier unexpected closure of the Crown and Castle). We meet on the last Thursday of each month except January, June (fish and chip run), November (the ten pin bowling night) and December (we have the Christmas meal at the Gt Barton Bunbury Arms on Sunday 15th December). We met for the first time in 2024 on Thursday 29th February. The last Club meeting of 2024 is 31st October. 

​​

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 2025, see the details below.

The website needs updating but apologies from the editor for not keeping it more up to date. With the new 2025 season round the corner, a concerted effort will be made to make the site current and updated regularly when all the 2025 events are known. Some are already on the Future Events page, where 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.

 

As previously stated, we hope to repeat this year's BMC run from Bury St Edmunds to Southwold, to be known as the BMC Memorial Suffolk Run, and this will be taking place on a Sunday to be arranged. The new owners of the land where we park have agreed that we can park there  - thanks to them.

We made £550 split between the Suffolk Accident Rescue Service and the East Anglian Air Ambulance this year, so thanks to all.

If you are interested in coming on next years run, please keep an eye on this site or our facebook page. We hope to have runs to some places of interest next year, the trip to the Transport Museum in Ipswich this year was interesting but not well supported sadly.

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.

2024 pics will be posted here later, but they are few and far between! Some are already on the facebook page.

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 2024 run.
