How they can still call it Mini In The Park when it's at a race track I don't know. When it was at Cornbury we used to go and Krakatoa has a very impressive crystal for winning Best In Show.
Dogs not allowed now so that rules us out and I expect Andrew will be working from home as he can access his John Lewis PC!
At least now I can use my PC now it's out the box.

I got a Facebook invitation from Craig at MiniMag. I responded:-
"In the words of Dennis Waterman: 'Right people, Right time, Just the wrong location.'
Craig, Take it back to Cornbury and I'll be there like a shot - but at the present location, 'No thanks'
Didn't get a reply, but there's a group on Facebook called "Bring MITP back to Cornbury Park" - so we aren't alone in our view on the matter. I never missed an MITP until it changed location, but I'll never go back to the current venue again. It's VILE.

I did the same last year... I'm still going through my facebook notifications after nearly 2 weeks away so I'll probably do the same again, however...
MiniMag no longer run MITP - last year an events company ran it for them, and this year they've sold the rights to the same company so unless the events company decide to move it, it'll be staying as Minis In Santa Pod...
only time i did mini in the park was when it was at cornbury. took bazzer's old hornet automatic up there for the mini push. all i remember was drinking a lot on saturday night and an introduction to the funnel. i think it was the year rita got the trophy for krakatoa, and the bloke next to her got a lawnmower out to cut the grass, and then laid tiles down before putting his mini on there
select concorde 2 brighton then like 'heartbreaker' thats your only task for the day....do that then do whatever you want, easy! http://toursupport.grahamcoxon.co.uk/

It's a shame, because it was a good show when MiniMag ran it at Cornbury. Probably my favourite, until I discovered the thing at the end of the month! And I was surprised to get an invite from someone at MiniMag this year, because, as has been said, they don't run it any more.
